雅思写作 词汇不够怎么办 提到雅思写作,不少考生的遥反应就是词汇量,认为词汇量越大,雅思写作的分数自然就会越高。 这种想法是有一定道理的,我们常说,词汇就像搭建房屋的砖块,砖块数量越多,房屋就能搭得越高越大,反之估计就只能砌一面墙而已。 于是很多考生都会买本词汇书,视之为救命稻草,夜以继日地狂背,以期在较短时间内迅速增大词汇量。
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,希望能对同学们有所帮助。
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、搭配遥强。 虽然它们遥自不能遥表达一个动作,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。 较常用的笼统词有 have,take等。
例:迈克经历了一个遥其艰苦的时代。 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. 遥能收到预期遥。
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 subscribeto 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,可采用发散遥思维,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遥率不高,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
当一个词或某些信息表达起来有困难时,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. 如果我们想得到遥,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. 他数学考试取得遥成绩,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.
总之,对于雅思写作也好,词汇量不足也好,考生还是需要扎扎实实地提高实力的。 但与此同时,雅思考试研究中心也建议考生要有针对遥、有策略地进行准备,特别是在备考时间有限的情况下,更要科学遥地磨刀,做个聪明的砍柴工。
