要想写好英语作文, 必须有足够的素材作为支撑, 才能言之有物、言之成理。因此, 在平时的英语教学中, 教师要引导学生积极进行素材积累, 并有意识地加以整合, 为写作做好充分的准备, 奠定良好的基础。下面笔者从几个方面介绍如何积累、整合英语素材, 以帮助学生奠定写作基础, 提高写作能力。
一、丰富学生的词汇量, 对词语进行适当的分类
要想使文章写得生动、自然, 语言流畅是前提条件。没有丰富的词汇量, 要做到语言流畅那简直是天方夜谭。试想, 不管脑海中想的语句多么优美、多么富有哲理, 却不知道单词怎么说, 不知道单词怎么写, 是多么令人懊恼的一件事?无奈, 学生只能运用自己拥有的有限词语来写作文章, 表达浅层次的内容, 往往是写了一大堆, 却不知所云, 甚至错字连篇, 语不成句。这是很多学生写作水平不高的原因。
因此, 高中英语教师在教学过程中, 对词汇教学丝毫不能放松, 在教授课文中词语的同时, 要拓展学生的词汇量, 对相关的词语进行适当的介绍, 对于高频词语要求学生加以记忆。如在进行词汇教学过程中, 教师可以引导学生对所学词语进行适当的分类:描写人的外貌的、性格的形容词有哪些、名词有哪些等;表达人的思想观点、看法意见的词语有哪些等。进行整合归类后, 教师要及时给学生安排短文的写作练习, 如要求描写某个人的外貌特征、剖析某个人的性格特点等, 使学生通过练习巩固学习的词汇, 并学会如何运用这些词汇, 从而为作文写作储备下丰富的词汇。
二、注重基本句型句式的练习, 促进学生写作水平的提升
英语写作是由一个一个的句子组成的, 既包括单句, 又包括复句;既有主动句, 又有被动句;既有祈使句, 又可以包括感叹句、倒装句等。要想文章写得出彩, 就要各种句型句式合理使用, 用丰富的句型句式表达出自己的意思, 传达出自己蕴藏的思想感谢。
因此, 高中英语教师在教学过程中, 要注重对学生进行基本句型句式的教学, 使学生熟练掌握, 并能灵活运用。练习可以从简单的句型句式开始, 慢慢过渡到复杂句型句式的练习。但教师要注意提醒学生, 在考试中, 应尽量用短句表达, 这样既能突出文章简洁明快的风格, 又能避免不必要的错误出现, 可以取得高分。但在平时的练习中, 要严格要求, 力求做到每种基本句型都牢固掌握、灵活运用, 促进写生水平的提升。
三、进行语法知识积累, 提高写作准确率
不管是学习汉语还是学习英语, 都离不开语法知识的学习, 在写作过程中, 语法运用得正确与否, 一定程度上也决定着写作水平的高低。该用过去时态而用了现在时态, 该用完成时态而用了进行时态, 都会使表达的意思出现偏差;一个词出现在句子的不同位置, 表达的意思就会不一样, 就会令人产生疑问。因此, 教师在教学过程中, 要注重英语语法教学, 努力使学生摆脱汉语语法的桎梏, 逐渐认识到英语语法与汉语语法的不同, 从思想上根除中国式英语是思维, 以英语式思维学习英语, 掌握语法, 不断练习, 提高写作能力和水平。
四、积累整合关键句, 提升写作效率
平时的英语写作练习时间要求比较宽松, 学生可以慢慢构思, 慢慢打磨句子。而在高考中, 英语写作是最后一部分, 面临时间的严格要求, 加上有的学生在前面几部分耗费的时间过长, 而留给写作的时间就比较短了, 因此, 学生不免会手忙脚乱。要想使学生在高考有限的时间内, 写出高水平的英语作文来, 在平时的教学中, 教师就要引导学生进行关键句的积累整合, 使学生在用到时能够信手拈来。例如, 文章开头句可以积累如下:
1.It goes without saying that... (不言而喻……)
2.It can be said with certainty that...可以肯定地说……
3.As the proverb says... (正如谚语所说的……)
4.There's no denying the fact that... (毫无疑问, 无可否认)
文章结尾句可以整合如下:
1.I will conclude by saying... (最后我要说……)
2.Therefore, we have the reason to believe that... (因此, 我们有理由相信……)
3.All things considered... (总而言之……)
……
五、广泛阅读积累素材, 提高英语写作能力
在英语学习中, 阅读和写作关系密切, 不可分割。广泛阅读的过程是积累写作素材的基础, 是培养英语语感, 提升英语写作表达技巧的途径。因此, 高中英语教师在教学过程中, 要尽可能地把阅读和写作结合起来, 在阅读中丰富写作素材, 在写作中发现阅读的技巧。笔者在教学过程中主要通过两种方法提高学生的写作能力, 一时要求学生对所阅读的文章进行改写, 二是要求学生广泛搜集范文进行仿写。
(一) 对阅读文章进行改写
对阅读的文章进行改写, 既需要对文章有充分的理解, 也需要自己对语言进行是适当的组织。高中英语教师在完成阅读教学后, 可以指导学生对所阅读的文章进行改写, 要求学生在改写时注意人称、时态、直接引语、间接引语、遣词造句和谋篇布局等方面的变化, 写出语言得体、内容完整的文章。
(二) 广泛搜集模仿范文进行仿写
教师在写作教学过程中, 可以引导学生围绕某一话题, 搜集优秀的范文, 然后参照范文进行仿写, 使学生在仿写的过程中, 斟酌词语的运用、句式的选择、段落的安排等。然后不断变换话题, 不断搜集范文, 不断仿写, 使学生在反复练习中培养语言表达的条理性和连贯性, 并逐渐形成自己的写作模式和风格, 提高写作策略和技能。

英语谚语是英语社会上流传的同定语句，通常用简练通俗的话反映出某种经验和道理；它是劳动人民聪明和智慧的结晶，不仅简练隽永，而且活泼有趣，深受人们的喜爱和使用。下面趣谈几则有关动物的英语谚语，品渎赏析，有所收获。
一、狗（dog）.
狗是人类的好朋友，忠厚善良，它既是人类家园的守护者，又是人类最喜爱的动物之一。但南于中西方文化的差异，导致它在谚语中指代的含义也有所不吲，褒贬不同。在中国，狗多指代贬义，如“狗腿子、丧家之犬”以及“狗拿耗子，多管闲事”等；而在西方围家，它多指代人、物，是个褒义词。
例如：1 Love me，love my dog.爱屋及乌。
2.Every dog has his day.凡人皆有得意口。
3.Give a day a bM name and hang him.一旦加人坏名声，他就永远洗刷不掉。
4.Let sleeping dogs lie.莫惹事生非。
5.Baking dogs do not bit吠狗不咬人。
二、猫（cat）
猫温顺可爱，它是人们家庭中最喜爱的宠物之一。听说“猫有九条命吗？”英文详法：A cat has nine lives.猫一般指代小人物，然而小人物也不可轻视。看下面谚语，A eat may look at a king.猫有权看国王。
看猫厉害吧！别忘了，老虎还是猫的徒弟呢！猫是捕鼠能手，一物降一物啊！因此有下面谚语：When the eat‘s away，the mice will play.猫一跑，耗子闹。（也可以翻译为，山上兀老虎，猴子称霸王）
三、鱼（fish）
鱼是水中动物，吃起来味道鲜美，而且有观赏价值，特别是金鱼（golden fish）；它多指代有价值的东西。如：The hest fish swim near the bottom..好鱼居水底。好的东西当然不容易得到了，正如宋朝文学家韩愈先生说的：“千里马常有，而伯乐难寻啊。”然而是金子总会发光的，有能力和才华的人总有机会展示的。There is asgood fish in the sea ever come out of it
（指纵然失去一个机会，还有机会可等）
1. Happiness takes no account of time.
【翻译】欢乐不觉时光过。
【解释】
这句话在写各种记叙文时都能用得上，一般放在最后一段的开头，常见于北京卷情景作文的“外出活动”类话题。一旦出现“大家一起出门，做了个什么事儿，然后回家或回学校”这样的话题时，就可以在文章的最后一段写上这样一句话：
As the saying goes， happiness takes no account of time. After 3 hours‘ work， talk and laugh， a gorgeous sunset reminded us that it‘s time to return. Exhausted as we were， we felt our time and effort extremely worthwhile，for 。。。(此处写上活动的意义，如“we devoted the whole afternoon to environmental protection.”)。
正如谚语有云，欢乐不觉时光过。经过了三个小时的辛劳与欢笑，壮丽的夕阳告诉我们，该回家了。尽管很疲惫，我们仍然觉得这些时间、精力花的很值，因为。。。(此处写上活动的意义，如“我们把整个下午都贡献给了环保事业。”)。
北京卷考“外出捡垃圾”，考“外出种树”，两年的真题都能用到这个谚语和上述表达，大家一定要认真掌握，活学活用!
2. Time and tide wait for no man.
【翻译】时光如潮水，奔腾不待人。
【解释】
这句话是“珍惜时间”话题的必备表达。既可以放在文章开头，又可以放在最后一段第一句。
“Time and tide wait for no man.“ What a truth it is! If the tide has receded， how can a sailor sail away for his voyage in the sea? Similarly， if the time has gone，how can we enrich our journey in our life?
”时光如潮水，奔腾不待人”，这是何等的真理!潮水退去，水手如何能继续海中的航行?时光流逝，你我如何再灿烂生命的`旅程?
【注解】
1、为了体现充沛的情绪，这里用了两个反问句，形成了颇为严格的对仗结构。
2、这句话的汉语和英语同样精彩，值得玩味：在翻译过程中，使用了一个汉语写作中的重量级技巧：形容词当动词用。看出在哪儿了吗?对，就是这个“灿烂生命的旅程”。这着着实实是一个技巧!相似的表达还有很多，老师当场写首诗教给你们：
寂寞我的冬夜
去温柔你的黎明
湿润我的眼眶
去多彩你的黄昏
不安了生命的轨道
又渺小了宇宙的星辰
只期待与你相遇
是沧桑不变的真诚
谚语是人类智能的结晶，是富于色彩的语言形式,它同文学作品、诗歌一样是语言的精华,一般具有生动形象、喻义明显、富于哲理的语言特征。在一定程度上，英语谚语反映了英语民族的文化特点。英语谚语源远流长，它既有民间流传的谚语，又有来自《圣经》的、来自莎士比亚作品的和来自《伊索寓言》的，还有很多外来谚语。英语谚语中有许多有关动物的谚语，本人收集了以下几条：

[关键词]积累 优美短句 英语写作
[中图分类号] G633.41 [文献标识码] A [文章编号] 16746058（2015）160052
长期以来，我们广大一线英语教师为提高学生英语写作水平做出了不懈的努力，但是学生英语写作的能力依然不尽如人意，具体表现为害怕写作、生搬硬套、词句单调、中文方式表述等等。积累优美英语短句有助于提高学生写作水平。下面就此谈几点粗浅的看法。
一、让学生认识积累优美短句的重要性
语言类学习需要积累，通过积累，逐渐形成语感。积累一定量的英语优美短句，在英语写作时，好句自然信手拈来，表达思想感情、描写人物风景、记叙事件、论述观点就会顺畅。语言是一门艺术，优美短句自然就是写作艺术中的精品。积累多了、领悟多了，表达就会丰富精彩、精炼、准确、感人。积累优美的英语短句不仅可以提高英语写作水平，还可以增加学生的语言积累，陶冶学生的情操，提高学生的语言艺术性，同时提高学生的英语学科素养。
二、鼓励学生坚持摘录约定俗成的优美英语短句
摘录短句最重要的是坚持，就是长时间地、持续不间断地收集优美英语短句，不可以心血来潮时收集上一段时间，然后又放弃，或者断断续续。积累优美的英语短句，需要恒心、毅力、观察力、思考力，每遇到优美短句，必记下、必理解、必背诵、必引用。其次是要善于发现，依据自己平时习作表达最困难的地方去收集。经常用到的约定俗成的优美英语短句，要首先积累。如：I never consider ease and joyfulness the purpose of life itself.（我从来不认为安逸和享乐是人生本来的目的。）Nothing is too difficult， if you put into your heart.（世上无难事，只怕有心人。）I am not afraid of tomorrow for I have seen yesterday and love today.（我不害怕明天，因为我经历过昨天，又热爱今天。）Create good memories today， so that you can have a good past.（今天创造出一份美好记忆，明天就能拥有一段美好回忆。）同时做到分类收集有关生活、学习、工作、科技等方面的英语优美短句。高中阶段的写作内容要求没有英语专业要求高，所以要求学生侧重于收集有关生活、心理、流行、时事焦点方面叙事性的短句，专业性较强的优美英语短句有一定量的积累就行。
三、引导学生坚持积累自己创作的优美短句
从积累优美的词汇、短语入手，为优美短句创作打好基础。大家都明白，高楼大厦是一砖一瓦构建起来的，英语优美词汇、短语就是优美句子的基础，我们把优美的词汇、短语按照语法和习惯的要求组合起来才能够形成优美的短句。培养学生自主开展词语、短语、习惯用语的基础训练，强化英语固定搭配、习惯用语和基本句型的记忆。最好的办法是用关键词和短语开展写作训练，要依据单元的课文或者写作话题，每天精心选择2～3个词组或固定短语，让学生做翻译或者造句练习。一段时间以后，让学生从自己所造的句子中挑选优秀的句子，加强运用和记忆。这样，学生既可以收集自己创作的优美短句，欣赏自己的创作成果，还可以掌握一些习惯用语和句子结构，从而提高遣词造句的能力，为优美短句的创作提供了基本素材。在平时的考试、练习中，将学生英语作文中优美的短句圈出来，号召学生摘录于专门的笔记，做到坚持不懈。
四、提醒学生积累优美短句要注意的几个问题
1.优美短句积累要与自己英语学习水平相当，不要摘录那些偏难、冷僻、消极的短句，摘录之前要明白其表达的汉语意思、思想感情以及适合的语言环境。
2.优美短句积累要贴近自己的生活。近年来各地高考作文生活化现象、反映社会热点现象比较普遍，所以应该指导学生着力收集有关学校生活、食品安全、民族创新、环境保护等方面的优美短句，重视收集网络流行的英语词汇构成的短句。
3.优美短句积累要有趣味性和真实性。趣味性、真实感是使人印象深刻的重要因素。使人感到愉快、能引起人兴趣的优美英语短句，不仅增强学生收集的积极性，还有助于学生记忆、理解。
4.优美短句积累要围绕不同的话题、目的收集，如高速公路话题、旅游话题、高考保姆话题、学生心理健康话题、网上购物话题等等。
五、指导学生运用优美短句提高写作水平
英语写作首先从句子入手，不管什么内容、什么题材、什么体裁的英语作品，都是由句子构成的。如何围绕文章中心选择自己头脑中已有的优美短句？首先要审清楚要表达的主题，确定文章的中心思想。其次，选择写作的体裁是记叙文、议论文、说明文还是应用文。再次，组织写作素材。学生一般会根据写作主旨和自己的生活体验及已有的英语知识水平寻找所需要的素材。在素材确定的基础上，就可以进行写作表达了。要求学生表达时充分运用自己平时积累的优美短句，依据素材选择优美短句起草文章。
英语作文是学生英语语言信息的输出，这种输出需要学生以输入为前提。学生积累了一定量各方面的优美短句，写作时才不会无话可说，若能在作文中恰到好处地使用平时积累的优美短句，就有可能写出优美的作文。
When people are not in the mood, they will become angry and when their families or friends talk to them, they will bring their bad mood, saying the bad words to the dearest person. It is not the wise choice for people let out their bad mood, because when they calm down, they will be very regretful for what they have done to their families and friends. Sometimes mean words are just like the sharp knives, stabbing into people’s hearts. So when we get angry, we should learn to control our emotion. We are easily to say out the hurting words, which makes the one we love suffering. Even if we apologize, but the pain still exists, like the broken mirror which can’t be fixed totally. So when we are angry, the best way to be silent and don’t do stupid things.

写作是学生对自己的积累进行选择、提取、加工、改造的过程。积累是写作的基础，积累越厚实，写作就越有基础，文章就能根深叶茂开奇葩。叶圣陶说过：生活如源泉，文章如溪水，泉源丰富而不枯竭，溪水自然活泼的流个不停。丰富的积累是学生写作的活水，写作是阅读的蓄水池。“巧妇难为无米之炊”，很难想象学生脑中无物，腹中无墨，又怎能写出文章来。
我想写作积累具体有以下四个方面：
一.是材料的积累
材料是写作之源。写作材料主要来源于社会生活。我们应当想方设法拓展学生的生活空间，丰富学生的生活，让他们去感受生活，体验生活，创造生活，把他们的视线，触角引向自然、社会、学校、家庭，让他们放开眼看，竖起耳听，接受新事物，接受新信息。让时代的活水在他们的心底流淌。只有有了这个物质基础，学生作文才能思之有据，言之有物，写之有序。让学生走出校门，走向社会，走向生活，观察五光十色的宇宙奇观，分析发人深省的大小事件，挖掘光彩照人的英模形象……，离开了生活，写作成了无源之水，无本之木。要强调学生做有心人，把平时自己看到的，悟到的，精彩的内容记下来，或摘抄，或做成卡片，随手翻阅，写作时便可以信手拈来了。美好的生活应该有美好的文章。年轻的心，最容易被打动。应教会学生：更多投入生活，让心灵与自然交流，用心灵感受生活，在生活中寻找写作的激情。
二.是语言的积累
语言是文章这所房子的砖瓦，中学生要有意识的积累语言，读书看报，碰到富有表现力的字词句；听广播看电视，甚至听别人说话，得到的美妙言语，都要记下来。平时碰到的成语、歇后语、名言警句等等，只要自认为生动美妙的，就积累。这样，积沙成塔，集腋成裘，从而逐步建立自己的语言词典。同时，生活中碰到的生字词，要查字典。经过积累，语言丰富了，写作文时自然左右逢源。
三.是情感的积累
文章不是无情物，字字句句吐衷肠。写作者只有将自己的情感体验，自己的真情、深情、纯情、至情付诸于写作对象，文章才能情深意切，字字动心。可见，写好作文，中学生必须有情感的积淀。而事实上，情感积累丰富了，写作时情感就能自然流淌，进入一种情不能已的境界，写出的文章就能生动感人。
四.是精妙写法的积累
“《文选》烂，秀才半”之说，形象道出了古人学习写作的经验。大凡优秀的作品，本身就告诉我们，文章该怎么写，不该怎么写。通过熟读、多读各大家的作品，达到心领神会的程度，自然学到作文的方法和技巧。阅读多了，积累多了，用于写作实践，必能提高写作水平。
实现写作的积累，要达到四个要求：一、量要大。量的保证，才能带来质的变化。教师要鼓励学生勤动笔，将自己发现的东西记在其专为写作积累而准备的本子上。二、范围要广。为了积累，学生生活视野阅读视野要宽。教师可以组织各种活动，以扩大学生的生活圈子；可以建立班级书库，为学生积累创设广阔的阅读天地；可以鼓励学生多上网查阅资料，尽情享用网络这个免费大餐。三、要长期坚持。一口吃不成胖子，要点点滴滴地积累。四、要有“度”。凡事都有个“度”的概念，过犹不及，不能一味地要求学生利用很多的时间去积累素材，平时的学习任务也已经够重的，不能增加学生的压力与负担。
总而言之，“教育的最终目的就是养成良好的习惯”，教师要想方设法激发学生的积累兴趣，培养学生养成积累的好习惯，要让源头真正地有活水涌来，而且要细水长流不止。
语言的学习离不开语境。在某种语境中学习语言，不仅有助于学习者记忆语料，更重要的是能够帮助他们了解和掌握词汇的各种变化、惯用法、相互关联、各种修辞和特殊用法等。阅读则是学习者熟悉英语语境的主要方法之一。
学习者可以从众多的原汁原味的阅读材料吸取语言素材，再通过记忆、运用(口语、写作等)内化成自己的语言。比如，在冲刺阶段，考生通过做模拟题的方式，从一篇文章及语境中学到许多有用的词组和表达法。 ①Invention and innovation have been quintessentially American puisuits from the earliest days of the republic. BenjaminFranklin was a world-famous scientist and inventor. Cyrus McCormick and his harvester, Samuel F.B. Morse and the telegraph, Alexander Graham Bell and the telephone―the 19th century produced a string of inventors and their world-changing creations. And then there was the greatest of them all, Thomas Alva Edisonl. He came up with the crucial devices that would give birth to three enduring American industries: electrical power, recorded music and motion pictures.
②Much of the world we live in today is a legacy of Edison and of his devotion to science and innovation. Edison taught us to invent, and for decades we were the best in the world. But today, more than 160 years after Edison’s birth, America is losing its scientific edge. A landmark report released in May by the National Science Board lays out the numbers: while U.S. investment in R&D as a share of total GDP has remained relatively constant since the mid-1980s at 2.7%, the federal share of R&D has been consistently declining―even as Asian nations like Japan and South Korea have rapidly increased that ratio. At the same time, American students seem to be losing interest in science. Only about one-third of U.S. bachelor’s degrees are in science or engineering now, compared with 63% in Japan and 53% in China.
③It’s ironic that nowhere is America’s position in science and technology more threatened than in the industry that Edison essentially invented: energy. Clean power could be to the 21st century what aeronautics and the computer were to the 20th, but the U.S. is already falling behind. Meanwhile, Congress remains largely paralyzed. Though in May the House of Representatives was finally able to pass the $86 billion America Competes Reauthorization Act, which would double the budgets of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Energy Department’s Office of Science, the bill’s fate is cloudy in the deadlocked Senate. “At this rate…we’ll be buying most of our wind generators and photovoltaic panels from other countries,” former NSF head Arden L. Bement said at a congressional hearing recently. “That’s what keeps me awake something at night.”
④Some erosion of the U.S.’s scientific dominance is inevitable in a globalized world and might not even be a bad thing. Tomorrow’s innovators could arise in Shanghai or Seoul or Bangalore. And Edison would counsel against panic―as he put it once, “Whatever setbacks America has encountered, it has always emerged as a stronger and more prosperous nation.” But the U.S. will inevitably decline unless we invest in the education and research necessary to maintain the American edge. The next generation of Edisons could be waiting. But unless we move quickly, they won’t have the tools they need to thrive.
这篇文章选自7月5日Time(美国时代周刊)，原汁原味，同时更是考研英语篇章语料出题来源之一。这样选材的文章，都是考生平时吸收语言材料的理想选择。
比如，句式方面我们可以学习到：
It’s ironic that…具有讽刺意义的事情是…… 这个句式用在写作中可以表达出另一种相反的例证，是很好的提出相反意义论据的.句型。
Whatever setbacks America has encountered, it has always emerged as a stronger and more prosperous nation.(不论美国遇到什么挫折困难，克服之后他都会成为一个更加坚强和繁荣的国度。)这个句型多么简洁好用!可用在表达“无论……,结果都会是更……。”意义的时侯。我们在写考研作文的时候，常要用到这样积极表达正面意义的句型。
还有最后两句话中都出现了“unless”这个连接词。在考研英语作文部分，如果你能正确和恰当的使用这个连接词，来构成一个复合句。你的作文结构将显得很“高级”和英语逻辑感很地道。But the U.S. will inevitably decline unless we invest in the education and research necessary to maintain the American edge. . But unless we move quickly, they won’t have the tools they need to thrive.
除此之外，文章中其他黑体字部分都是很好很地道的词组和搭配等，不仅值得记忆，考生更应当通过造句等方式学着使用。
为了学习写作而进行的阅读，在选材是要遵循两个原则： 其一，语言是比较简练的，易于模仿和记忆。其二，内容与人们的日常工作、学习、生活有较密切的联系，这样易于把相关的表达方式应用到考试的写作当中去。

16.putting。表示“意味着干某事”，应为mean doing sth。17.Unfortunately。从no magical solution可以推断出“不幸的是”。18.to。因solution通常接介词to，表示“……的解决方法”。
19.The。序数词first前要用定冠词。20.who/ that。定语从句，关系代词在从句中作主语。
21.their。指主语they“他们自己的”。22.because。后面解释“这可能是痛苦的”的原因。
23.impression。在“冠词+形容词(a positive)”后要接名词。24.confident。在系动词feel后作表语，用形容词。25.what。在句中作do的宾语，用连接代词what；no matter what…意为“不管你决定做什么”。

20.what。引导表语从句并在从句中作表语，故用连接代词what。
21.happiest。由后文的the best of…可知，这里用形容词最高级，表示“最幸福的人”。
22.necessarily。修饰动词have，做状语，要用副词。
23.comes。由前面的have，make等谓语动词可知，用一般现在时；又因该定语从句中的主语that是替代先行词everything的，而everything是第三人称单数，故填comes。
24.forgotten。因past在这里是名词，前面需要定语；又因past与forget是被动关系，故用过去分词forgotten做定语。25.around。表示“在……周围”，用介词around。
