文章概括的英文

One day a begger was begging,he wondered why the rich never satisfied.He remember a rich man he knew,he thought the rich man had gained enough that he could stop his business and had comfort once for all.But he didn't.His ship broke because of the storm,and his great wealth has gone like the dreams of a night.He thought he would be satisfied if only he could get something to eat.As he thought,a Fortune appeared,the Fortune offered him gold,which would be really gold only if lying in his bag,and every piece that falls upon the ground shall become dust.But the begger didn't react as he thought,he wasn't satisefied with the whole bag and still wanted more.At last the bag burst and he became poorer than before.

大家一看这一句一句，连个段落格式都没有，直接就关掉了，哪会看完给总结呢。。。。

analyze and synthesize 是读文章时、学习时要做的最基本的事。也就是“分析和综合”。所谓分析就是理解内容、理清关系等，而综合就是提炼要点。单独说概括准确说是generalize，也就是用一两句话点明主旨。而summarize则是进行总结、综述，也就是用比较简洁的一段话描述故事的梗概，要包含故事的开始、发展过程及结束。

新概念英语的课后练习之一就是概括文章大意，用的是summary，动词是summarize,用sum up也可以。
