“写文章”常见的英文表达是 “write an article” 或 “write an essay”(根据文章类型,essay 更侧重于论述性、学术性的短文,而 article 适用范围更广,可指各类文章)。
此外,根据具体语境还可以有以下表达:
compose an article (“compose” 强调创作、精心撰写,比 “write” 更正式、更具文学性)
pen an article (“pen” 在这里作动词,意思是“写(文章、信等)”,比较形象、口语化 )
例句:
I need to write an article about environmental protection for the school magazine. (我需要为校刊写一篇关于环境保护的文章。)
She often composes articles for literary journals. (她经常为文学杂志撰写文章。)
He penned an article criticizing the new policy. (他写了一篇文章批评新政策。)
