增加语言多样性之同义词替换 托福写作对语言提出了明确要求,一方面要求作文中出现尽量少的错误,另一方面要求语言要有多样性。但是,大部分中国考生都面临这样一个问题,一个词从头用到尾,一点变化都没有,经常“I think ”到底,或是“more and more important”,这样怎么能达到托福写作所要求的“语言多样性”呢?其实这个问题并不难解决,我们可以通过记忆常用词的同义词,在写作中进行同义词替换,以此来增加文章语言的多样性。 细心的同学们可能会发现,英语中其实存在着大量的同义词,这是由英语独特的发展历程造成的。英语在过去几个世纪不断从别的语言中吸收字词,使英语词汇量大大增加。 11世纪诺曼底人征服英国之后,大量法语词汇涌入英语,使英语的词汇量增加了一倍。文艺复兴时期,由于对古典文学研究风气很盛,因此源于拉丁语和希腊语的字和词又不断引入英语。在近代又因为海外战争,贸易和殖民的活动,英语中又不断引入世界各地,包括非洲、亚洲等地的语言的词汇。举例来说,英语中表示“马”的词汇除了常见的horse,还有charger, steed, hag, plug等等。由此可见,英语中的同义词资源是很丰富的。下面是几组托福写作中常用的同义词。 表达某种观点:think, believe, insist, maintain, assert, conclude, deem, hold, argue, contend, allege, assert, declare, claim, show, reveal, illustrate, demonstrate, depict, present, represent, describe, illustrate 解决: solve, deal with, cope with, handle, resolve, address, tackle, grapple with 损害: damage, hurt, injure, harm, impair, undermine, jeopardize 给与:give, offer, render, impart, provide, supply, afford 培养::develop, cultivate, foster 优势:advantage, merit, virtue, benefit, upside, strength 缺陷:disadvantage, demerit, drawback, downside, weakness 重要的:key, crucial, critical, important, significant, vital, substantial, indispensable, imperative 有害的: bad, baneful evil, harmful, detrimental 导致: lead to, bring about, result in, cause, spark off, conduce to, procure, induce, generate 因此:so, therefore, thus, hence, consequently, as a consequence, accordingly, as a result, because of this, as a result of this, owing the fact that 增长 grow,rise,increase,go up,climb,ascend,lift 急剧地:dramatically,drastically,sharply,hugely,enormously,steeply,substantially,considerably,significantly,markedly,surprisingly,strikingly,radically,remarkably,vastly,noticeably 发展:development, advance, progress 有益的:useful, helpful, beneficial, profitable, rewarding, advantageous 影响:influence, impact, effect 希望大家平时能够细心观察,多积累一些同义词,我们平时可以积累很多的同义词,在考场上灵活应用,这样就能够避免语言的单调,让文章增色不少。 本文来源:https://www.wddqw.com/doc/8dc9128c524de518964b7d84.html
