写作词汇量不足时如何应急_雅思词汇
做书面表达时,我们常常会碰到这种情况:一个意思往往因一个单词不会而表达不清;一个好的句子因一个单词想不起来而不能完成。面对这种情况,该如何应对呢?下面介绍三种简便易行的应急措施,希望能对们有所帮助。
一、换用笼统词
词大体可分为两类:笼统词和具体词。笼统词的特点在于意义广泛、搭配性强。虽然它们独自不能精确表达一个动作,但在构成词组以后可替代很多具体词。写作中遇到一些具体词写不出来的时候,用笼统词取代,能收到异曲同工之妙。最常用的笼统词有 have,take等。
例:迈克经历了一个极其艰苦的时代。m ike experienced a terrible hard time.写作时,若忘记了experience可用笼统词have代替,写成m ike had a terrible hard time.同样能收到预期效果。
再看几例:are you married?= do you have a wife /husband?
do you understand my meaning?=do you take my meaning?
she will subscribe(订阅)to chi- na today.=she will take china to- day.
二、换用同义词、反义词
遇到未曾学过的词或一时想不起的词时,可采用发散性思维,发挥想象力,尽可能想出与之有关的同义词、反义词,利用语言的内在联系、多层次、多角度地运用语言,使单词受阻现象得以解决。
例:昨晚李雷做了一场恶梦。
li lei had a nightmare last night.因nightmare使用率不高,不易记住。但其同义词bad dream易记。上句可换译为:li lei had a bad dream last night.
再如:the food is tasty.=the food is nice toeat.=the food is delicious.
we discontinued the work at nine.=we stopped the work at nine.
this woman is talkative.=this woman is never quiet.
this car is expensive.=this car is not cheap.
三、换用迂回表达
当一个词或某些表达起来有困难时,要充分利用语言本身词汇丰富、句型多变等特点,进行迂回表达。因为任何一种表达形式,只要能达意便可接受。请仔细观察划线部分词语,看看是如何迂回表达的。
例:1.我从未见到过这样顽固的人。
ive never seen such a stubborn person.=ive never seen such a person who never listens to others advice.
2.如果我们想得到文凭,我们必须首先通过考试。
if we want to obtain a diploma,we must first pass the exams.=if we want to get a graduation paper,we must first pass the exams.
3.工厂里的烟囱(chimney)拔地而起。
high chimneys have appeared in the factories.=the factories are full of high chimneys.=a lot of high chimneys can be seen in the factories.
4.他考试取得优异成绩,被大学录取了。
he passed the maths exam /succeeded in the maths exam and became a college student.
5.中午我们吃了野餐。
at noon we had a picnic.=at noon we had our lunch in the open air.
