07 人物动作行为描写技巧
动作行为描写的作用及宏观设计策略
动作描写是对人物的动作反应、行为举止进行刻画，进而能够揭示人物的性格、品质、思想和身
份地位。黑格尔对动作描写给予了极高的评价，他在《美学》里谈到:“能把个人的性格、思想和目的最清
楚地表现出来是动作，人的最深刻方面只有通过动作才能见诸现实。”人物的一举一动都受其思想和性格
的制约，要让人物动作达到“以外写内”的效果，就要抓住人物的典型动作反应，让角色“立起来”。
动作描写分为单一动作描写、动作群描写和动作细节描写。三者在人物动作的选择和刻画上各有
不同，对人物形象的塑造和性格、情感、思想的表现也有所区别，教师要引导学生抓住人物动作刻画的不
同写法思考其表达效果和作用。
单一动作描写即是抓住角色的某一具体动作进行刻画，这一动作是人物角色的典型标志之一，能集
中反映出人物个性和特征，具有个性化和典型性特点。单一的动作描写是对人物动作的高度提炼，要抓取
具有突出人物特点的举动，让读者脑海中的人物形象更加鲜明，也让人物的处境和性格更加突出。
动作群描写，则是如影片一般截出角色的动作片段，提炼多个动词，通过一连串的动作将人物的动
作群浓墨重彩的描绘出来，人物行为更加真实、富有动感，人物形象也更加饱满。单一的动作描写能让人
物形象和个性更加突出，动作群描写能使人物在一系列动作中形象逐渐生动饱满，通过动作描写达到“以
外写内”的效果，正如老舍先生说的:“要描写一个人必须知道关于此人的一切，但不要作相面式的全写在
一起;我们需随时用动作表现出他来。”
动作细节描写是指抓住人物动作上的细节加以凸显描绘，细微的人物动作不必典型独特，但动作的
形成与情境中人物当下的精神思想、情感态度息息相关，是人物内在品性在外部动作中自然流露，有的动
作细节只寥寥几笔，却能使人物毕肖传神，增强人物表现的真实感和感染力。人物动作细节既可以是单一
具体的动作，也可以是人物动作群中的细微动作变化。动作细节描写易于刻画人物的真实感，但对于人物
细节的抓取和分析，要置于文本特定的情境中，结合人物性格和故事情节挖掘其内涵和作用，教师在教学
中也要培养学生感知细节的意识，尝试分析和运用不同内容的动作细节刻画增强语言表现力。
动作描写一直是刻画人物形象最重要的手段之一。作家莱辛说：“主要的东西是让人行动起来，
通过动作显示人物个性的特征。”可见，动作描写在塑造人物形象上起着多么重要的作用。怎样才能把动
作写细写好呢？ （1）以个性鲜明的动作展示人物的性格：动作描写，尤其是凝聚人物个性的细微动作，
往往是个性化人物的特有标志。在生活中，只要我们用心观察，就会发现，不同性格的人动作也不同。同
样是笑，内向的人可能是红着脸害羞地低头笑；外向的人则可能笑得自然大方；淳朴的人笑得爽朗；狡猾的人笑得诡秘。只要我们在生活中用心发现人物身上特有的细微的举止，写作时把它写进文章中，那么所
塑造的人物形象就会有血有肉、性格鲜明，形象栩栩如生。（2）用最准确的动作反映人物的内心： 法国
作家福楼拜说：“无论你所要讲的是什么，真正适当的动词和形容词也只有一个，就是那最准确的一句，
最准确的动词。 （3）分解人物动作，浓墨泼写体现人物个性：动作是无声的语言，是人物个性的符号。
在塑造人物时，动作往往是一连串的。怎样把一连串的动作写细、写具体呢？我们采用“分解法”。先把
一连串的动作分解成若干个动作，然后把每个动作都作具体描写，最后把每个动作按一定的顺序连起来。

A GIFT FOR GRANDPA
The summer vacation was coming. Jack and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as
they thought of visiting their grandparents again.
The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’
home eagerly. On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with their
grandparents.
A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the property was the forest
carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which
Grandpa was waiting for them joyfully.
Jack and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting
excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!”
Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from
the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed across his face. Grandma explained that his health
was declining rapidly and that he maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared
stubbornly (倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and Grandparents
were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened
recently.
The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest.
Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rosestraight like soldiers. Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom. He could tell where the
birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs… How many
merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!
But now Grandpa couldn’t get up. This made them worried. “We need to think out a way to
cheer him up,” Jack said. “Grandpa is a bird lover, so we can catch him a bird,” Berlin suggested.
“But he hates birds being caged!” Jack shook his head.
Then a bright idea came to Jack’s mind. “Why not make a cane (拐杖) out of a young tree?!”

【参考范文】
Berlin thought it was a good idea. When the two brothers reached an agreement, they quickly
ran back to their grandparents’ house, got the tools they needed to make the cane, and ran back to thewoods. Jack said, “What kind of tree should we pick for the walking stick?” Berlin thought for a
moment and said, “I think we should choose a straight tree, so no knots will scratch Grandpa’s
hands.” Jack nodded his head in agreement. They found a straight tree and set to work. They cut the
tree down, and with a knife they took the bark off. It was a wonderful tree, which was smooth and
was just of the right size (which引导非限制性定语从句). They thought Grandpa would love it.
Jack and Berlin handed the cane to Grandpa. When Grandpa took the cane, his hands shook with
joy, thinking, “This is made by my grandsons themselves. How precious it is!” Jack said,
“Grandpa, we hope this cane will help you stand up and come with us to explore the woods.”
Grandpa smiled and decided to give it a try so as not to make his grandchildren disappointed. He
held the cane in his right hand and the arm of his chair in his left hand. He stood up with strength
on his legs (with复合结构). Everyone was surprised and excited to see Grandpa stand up. At that
moment, Jack noticed a tear coming from the corner of his grandma’s eye.
▲英语读后续写动作描写微技能------以A GIFT FOR GRANDPA的写作为例
（一）精挑细选恰当动词
学生在描写中通常会陷入这样的困顿，一直在使用通用词汇，比如，一碰到“走”，学生就会写
“walk”，而不同的语境可能是“蹑手蹑脚”，可能是“摇摇晃晃”，可能是“偷偷地走”，也可能是“猛
冲”，如果通用 walk 则不能形象表达不出人物此刻的动作，传递不了人物此时的情感。因此学生在选用
动词的时候，要仔细琢磨选择恰当的动词。
以上面的这篇续写为例，Jack 和 Berlin 众里寻他千棵树，发现一颗合适的，于是乎我们可以用“冲
过去 dash/rush/storm to...”，两人制作完拐杖回家的动作也可以用这几个词，以此来表明两人高兴急迫的心
理 ；回到家里走进爷爷房间，可以用“蹑手蹑脚 tiptoe”表达出两人想给爷爷一个惊喜；爷爷拿到拐杖后
站起来，我们可用“颤巍巍站起来 stagger to his feet”表现出借助拐杖的外力艰难站起来这一具体动作。再
以各种“看”举例来说，在“A naughty boy”一文中，Mark 在课堂上捣乱被教师嘴上粘贴了胶带，在描写
Mark 此时对教师反应时，我们可以用“偷偷地看 peep at”，表现出此时他既调皮还有些许害怕的心态 ；
而要描写 Mark 对班里学生反应时，可以用“交换了一下眼神 exchange a glance with...”，说明被惩罚后的
Mark 依然不遵守课堂纪律 ；如果要描写教师看 Mark 的反应时，我们可以用“瞥一眼 glance at”。
（二）细致入微分解动作
一篇优秀的续写作文离不开动作描写，需要一个微镜头一个微镜头地呈现出来，也就是一个画面紧接
着一个画面来推动故事情节的进展，这就是说要把一个总体的动作分解开，按照时间顺序通过微小细致的
动作串联起来，让人物真正地动起来，收获满满的画面感。“A gift for my grandpa”一文中，如何用细微动作刻画出两个人制作拐杖的过程呢？在脑海里想象动作
发生的先后顺序，“找到—砍掉—移除—抛光”，将并列的动作串联，构成了“Action A， B，C and D”
的结构，也就是“They searched for a proper young tree, cut it down, took off its branches and polished it.”， 这
样一套完整的连贯动作就完成了。在续写第一段最后描写两个孩子迫不及待回到家把礼物送给爷爷的场景
时，“悄悄进入房间—靠近爷爷—伸出手”，英语表达为“They crept into grandpa's room, approached him
and reached out their hands.”，这几个动作接下来就和给出的第二段的第一句话，即两个孩子递给爷爷拐杖
有效衔接上了，而且这里选用了具体动作“蹑手蹑脚 creep”，更能表现出两个孩子既不想惊动爷爷同时还
想要给爷爷一个惊喜的心态。
（三）情感饱满刻画人物
剧情中的人物是一个个复杂的个体，具有丰富的思想，单凭几个简单的动作并不能让其富有生命力，
因此要想塑造出栩栩如生、有饱满情感的人物，要求除了动作描写，还应该结合语言、心理、环境等描写
来刻画立体的人物形象。
“A gift for my grandpa”中我们已经使用了一连串的动作描写，那么如何才能让人物活灵活现呢？首先，
先用副词或介词短语来修饰动作。上面的句子我们加上合适的枝叶修饰成分，变化为，“They searched for
a proper young tree patiently, cut it down with all their joint efforts,
took off its leaves with care and polished it attentively. ”。通过“patiently”“with care”“attentively”的修饰，表现
出了两个孩子耐心专心的性格，一定要为爷爷制作一条舒适的拐杖。
其次，通过语言和心理描写来配合人物的动作描写。“找树”这个动作为例，“Suddenly, a young tree
came into Berlin's view. 'Perfect!' Berlin pointed to the tree and shouted excitedly, his eyes shining.”。这个句子加
上了 Berlin 的语言描写，简简单单的一个单词“Perfect!”就足以表明找了合适的树，当然我们也可以用
“There!”或“Look!”；也加上了 Berlin 的心理描写，“眼睛闪闪发光”来表现他此刻高兴的心情。最后，
用环境描写烘托人物的动作。对于“找树”这个动作，可以加上客观环境描写的句子，“The soft wind
stirred leaves of a tree and blew through Berlin's hair.”，然后可以再加上主观环境描写，“Then the young but
straight tree kept Berlin thrilled. 'That is it!' he screamed with excitement.”这样，环境描写更能烘托出 Berlin 抑
制不住的激动心理。
（四）花样表达丰富语言
在续写时，一系列的动作并不一定都是按照时间先后发生的，有时需要以一个动作为中心点，向上游
或下游逐步扩散，在中心动作发生之前还有动作先于此发生，此动作之后也引发一连串的关联动作，或者
中心动作发生之时也伴随着其他动作的发生。综此，我们需要变换句式，来凸显中心动作。
首先，非谓语动词的使用。在“Toy airplane” 一文中，爸爸无意间说的一句话却伤害了辛苦为他制作礼物的女儿 Christy 的心，描写爸爸发现女儿伤心的动作和心理，“I turned around, only to find that
Christy's initial excitement was replaced by disappointment.”，此句结构为“中心动词 +only to do”，在中心动
作“转身”发生时，使用 to do 表出乎意料的结果状语，来说明爸爸发现是自己说错话惹女儿不开心，前
后矛盾更加突出。
其次，状语从句的运用。when、while、as、before、after 引导的时间状语从句，可以表示动作发生先
后或同时发生的动作，借助从句的衬托，以此来强调主句动作的发生。“A gift for my grandpa”一文中，爷
爷看到孩子递过来的拐杖后，立马就明白发生了什么。可以译为“After grandpa saw the delicate cane, he
knew what had happened.”，这里用after 引导的时间状语从句，来说明句子的中心动作 know 是在看 see
之后发生的。
再者，with 复合结构的添加。“A gift for my grandpa”一文中，叙述爷爷拿到拐杖后站起来的动作
“With the cane in his hand, grandpa couldn't wait to stand up. ”，用“with+ 宾语 + 介词短语”结构，突出了
拐杖的辅助作用，爷爷是靠此站起来的。又如，“With a bird intentionally carved on it，a fashionable cane
was made completely. ” 用“with+ 宾 语 + 过去分词”结构表示伴随动作，中心动作 be made 是随着小鸟
的雕刻而完成的。
（五）恰如其分运用修辞
恰当修辞的运用可以让动作描写更加形象、生动，人物更加鲜活，让语言通俗易懂，突出语言的表达
效果。
首先，使用明喻，将具有共同点的两个事物用 like 等词联系在一起。比如，“With the help of the
cane, grandpa got up straight like a soldier.”，此句中用“like a soldier”强调爷爷能站起来了，而且在拐杖的协
助下能站立得像一位战士一样，突出两个孩子亲自制作的拐杖真的能派上用途。又如，“I stretched my
arms like wings of the toy airplane, and ran around the room in circles, attracting other children to join me.”，用比
喻“like wings”说明张开手臂的目的就是为了摆出飞机的模样，为后文孩子们的加入做了铺垫。
其次，使用暗喻，用一个事物比喻另一个事物，往往没有比喻词。比如，同样是爷爷收到拐杖后的心
理描写，还可以这样描述，“At the sight of the hand-made cane in person, grandpa felt a lump in his throat, not
knowing what to say.” ，用喉咙里似有肿块，说明爷爷一时间感动地说不出话来，嗓子像被堵塞了一样。
最后，使用夸张，可以表达出人物鲜明的态度，以此强调某个动作。例如，“Christy rushed to her
room, slamming the door violently, leaving me frozen there.”，表达出父亲没有想到女儿反应如此大，用夸张
表达 frozen，意识到自己的错误，一下子不知所措，内心也有点懊恼。

1．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。As Hurricane Ian bore down on Florida, many residents who decided to stay found themselves unable to leave.
When the water slipped in under the door of their home in Naples, Florida, it was just a sign that it was time to
go.
It was around noon on Wednesday, September 28 last year and Darcy Bishop woke up her two brothers who
had been resting after lunch. She pulled the wheelchair up to the oldest, Russell Rochow, 66. Her other brother,
Todd Rochow, 63, was in his room, changing clothes. He could manage with a walker.
Both men had been born with disabilities, and their mental development was like that of a young child. But
they found joy in their surroundings. Russell loved riding the bus and going to parks. Todd liked collecting cans at
the beach and playing on the boat in the neighbor, Hance Walters’ home. Bishop, 61, was their lifeline, their little
sister who had long felt a duty to keep them safe.
“We’ve got to get going!” she shouted to Todd. She went to open the front door. It would not move. The
weight of the water on the other side had shut it tight.
She rushed to try the door to the garage, where Todd’s walker was stored. It, too, was stuck.
That’s when the house the three brothers shared began to flood.
The only way to go was up.
Bishop guided Todd to the stairs, and he grabbed the banister(栏杆). She helped him pull himself slowly up to
the top where he waited in a chair.
But stairs were impossible for Russell, who could neither walk nor bend his stiff legs.
Bishop dragged on the belt around Russell’s waist, but he was nearly 77 kilograms. She tried every position
possible, switching from pushing to pulling, and managed to get him up a few carpeted steps.
But the water followed.
Bishop called 911 and was told someone would come soon. But out the window she could already see
furniture, boats and cars floating by.

At the cafeteria table, I overheard my new colleague say, “I hate going home tonight, because we have to get
rid of our dog.” I said, “Oh, no! Is your dog ill?” She replied, “No, she’s fine, just not a fit for our family. No one
wants her, so it’s best we give it away.”
Coming from a family whose home could be a petting zoo, I was shocked to think that people could be so
heartless. Worried by this dog’s fate, I asked my new co-worker a few questions. She shared that the dog’s name
was Lady. She was a German Shepherd and had been trained for a year and a half as a guide dog for the blind.
Unfortunately, Lady failed her final test because she demanded too many hugs after completing her tasks. I begged
the woman to give me a little time to reach out to my mom as we would consider taking her. With my talent for
dramatic storytelling and my mom’s compassionate heart, I knew Lady would have a home with us.
After work, I drove to pick up Lady. An old woman greeted me at the door, leading me to the kitchen. There
sat the beautiful but very thin dog, sitting in the corner licking and scratching her right paw. “She did that to
herself,” the woman said as she pointed to the injured paw. She continued, “That dog is hopeless!” The woman then
took a broom and pushed the dog to stand. Lady had tears in her eyes when I led her outside.
There were no goodbyes from this family, just a sense of relief that Lady was no longer their problem. I sat on
the sidewalk with her and introduced myself. For me, it was love at first sight. She had perfect markings, a delicate,
beautiful face, but the saddest eyes. “Lady,” I said, “I’m taking you to your new home with my family who will
always love you. Please give us a chance.”

He was 50 years old when I was born. I didn’t know why he was home instead of Mom, but I was young and
the only one of my friends who had their dad around. I considered myself very lucky.
Dad did so many things for me during my grade school years. He convinced the school bus driver to pick me
up at my house instead of the usual bus stop that was six blocks away. He always had my lunch ready for me when
I came home.
As I got a little older, I wanted to move away from those “childish” signs of his love. But he wasn’t going to
give up. In high school and no longer able to go home for lunch, I began taking my own. Dad would get up a little
earlier and make it for me. The outside of the sack might be covered with a heart inscribed with “Dad-n-Angie K.
K.”. Inside there would be a napkin (餐巾纸) with that same heart or an “I love you.”
I used to hide my lunch so no one would see the bag or read the napkin, but that didn’t last long. One of my
friends saw the napkin one day, grabbed it, and passed it around the lunch room. My face burned with
embarrassment. To my astonishment, the next day all my friends were waiting to see the napkin. From the way they
acted, I thought they all wished they had someone who showed them that kind of love. I felt so proud!
When I left home for college, I thought the messages would stop. But my friends and I were glad that his
gestures continued. I began getting letters almost every Friday. The front-desk staff always knew who the letters
were from. Many times the envelopes were addressed in crayon, and along with the enclosed letters were usually
drawings of our cat and dog, stick figures of him and Mom.

参考答案
1．
【答案】
Meanwhile, Bishop was crazy and desperate. She would pull Russell up one step, only to see the water rise
with them. Her nervousness was comforted by Russell’s funny behavior. Grabbing the banister, he counted the
pictures on the wall. “Look, Darcy: one, two, three, four.” “That’s very good, Russ” Bishop said with tears rolling
down her cheeks. It took them a good hour, but they finally made it up eight steps to the first small landing, then
three steps to the second, and then a handful of steps more. She sat down beside him, and waited.
At around 6:30 p. m., Russell said, “Somebody’s downstairs.” Full of hope, Bishop called out, “Hello?!
Hello?! Who’s there?” It was her neighbour, Hance Walters. Learning she was in trouble, Walters went to his house
and fetched a boat. Bishop tried to bring her brothers outside. There, they were lifted into the boats. Todd and
Russell were safe. They have not said much about the sufferings they survived, only saying that they wanted things
to return to normal. “I don’t want no more hurricane” they both repeated.
2．
【答案】
As I pulled into our driveway, my mom was waiting with open arms and delicious dog treats. We led Lady toour family room where my mom had placed a huge comforter on the floor just for her. My mom hoped to build a
relationship with Lady with an act of love. Days passed and my mom made many more generous moves to Lady,
but she remained distant. Lady just spent most of the time hiding in her place, licking and scratching her paw,
refusing Mom to help her with the injured paw. This went on for a few frustrating weeks.
One day, to win Lady’s trust, my mom led Lady to her bedroom. She had a face-to-face talk with Lady. Hours
passed, by the end of the day Lady’s paw was bandaged, and both she and my mom walked out of the room side by
side. It was as though Lady did understand my mom’s words of acceptance. From then on, Lady became a member
of our family. We had a combination of playmate and protector who shared our secrets, laughs, tears and hugs.
Every night at 2:00 a. m., Lady regularly made her rounds, checking to see that we were all at home. Only then
would she rest.
3．
【答案】
It was during this time that Dad became stricken with cancer. When the letters didn’t come on Friday, I knew
that he had been sick and wasn’t able to write. He used to get up at 4:00 a.m. So he could sit in the quiet house and
do his letters. If he missed his Friday delivery, the letters would usually come a day or two later. But they always
came. My friends used to call him “Coolest Dad in the Universe”.
Then the time came when I decided to come home because he was growing sicker. And I knew that our time
together was limited. Those were the hardest days to go through. To watch this man, who always acted so young,
age passed his years. In the end he didn’t recognize who I was. Even though I knew it was due to his illness, it still
hurt that he couldn’t remember my name. I was alone with him in his hospital room a couple of days before he
died. We held hands and watched TV. As I was getting ready to leave, he said,“Angie, I love you.”
