英文日记的正文是日记的主要部分,写在星期和日期的正下方,可以顶格写,也可以内缩3至5个字母的空间.由于记载的内容通常已经发生,谓语动词多用一般过去时。
一、英文日记格式
英文日记通常由书端和正文两个部分组成.日记常以第一人称记下当天生活中的所见、所闻、所做或所想的.事情.中、英文的日记三格式大致一样.英语日记的书端是专门写日记的日期、星期和天气的.左上角是日期(年、月、日)、星期.右上角写上当天的天气情况,如：Sunny,Fine,Rainy,Windy,Snowy,Cloudy等.
1.日期表达有多种形式.年、月、日都写时,通常以月、日、年为顺序,月份可以缩写,日和年用逗号隔开.例如：December 18,2003 或者 Dec.18,2003
A) September 1,2004或September 1st,2004也可省略写成Sept.1,2004或Sept.1st,2004;B)the 1st of September in 2004(月份不可以缩写)
B)只有月、日
September 1或September 1st(月份可以缩写)
C)只有年、月
September 2004或the September of 2004(月份不可以缩写)
以上的1或1st都应读作the first.
2.星期也可以省略不写,可将其放在日期前或后,星期和日期之间不用标点,但要空一格,星期也可缩写.如：
Saturday,October 22nd,2004;October 22nd,2004 Saturday
3.天气情况必不可少.天气一般用一个形容词如 :Sunny,Fine,Rainy,Snowy 等表示.写在日期之后,用逗号隔开,位于日记的右上角.如：
Saturday,March 4,2004,Windy;1st January,2004,Fine
1.注意日期、星期和天气的书写位置.
日期和星期要写在正文的左上角,其顺序多是“星期 + 月、日、年”,也有把星期放在后面的,如“ 2003 年 11 月 22 日,星期一”可写为“ Monday November 22,2003 或 November 22,2003 Monday ”.
日记的第一行,要写明年、月、日与星期,然后要写明当天的气候状况,如果是游记,还要写明地点.
这一部分中天气状况比较难写.下面是一些常用的描写天气的英语词语：
晴 clear 阴 overcast 多云 cloudy 小雨 light rain
大雨 heavy rain 毛毛雨 drizzle 阵雨 shower
东风 east wind 南风 south wind 西风 west wind
北风 north wind 西南风 southwester 东南风 southeaster
东北风 northeaster 西北风 northwester
气温 temperature
炎热 scorching heat 寒冷 icy cold 下雪 snow
