作文分不高?要从词汇开始改变!

单词和短语是文章最基本的组成单位,用词是否出彩在一定程度上决定了文章是否能得高分!要想用对词,必须遵循以下原则:

1无重复原则

英语写作中经常会出现在同一文章中反复使用同一个词、词组的情况,这就是我们通常所说的重复。用词重复主要表现在名词、动词、形容词等实词的重复上。例如:

名词重复

Catherine offered him moral help and also practical help.

动词重复

I like reading while my brother likes playing football.

形容词重复

Mark Twain is famous for his short novels in America, and now he isalso becoming more and more famous with Chinese readers.

为避免用词的重复,可采用以下方法:

省略

省略是避免重复最主要的手段。它可以节省词语,使句子结构更紧凑,还可以有效避免名词、动词、形容词的重复。例如:

名词省略

They are fine actors. Smith is the finest (actor) I’ve ever seen.

动词省略

Jack needn’t stay here, but George must (stay here).

形容词省略

Robert seemed angry, and George certainly was (angry).

代词代替

这种方法主要用于解决名词的重复问题。例如:

Catherine offered him moral help and also practical help.

可改为:Catherine offered him moral help and also practical one.

再如:Can you repair this chair? I broke it yesterday.

同义词、反义词、派生词转换

名词、动词、形容词都适用这种方法。

名词同义词转换

原句:The snow was heavy last night.

修改后: It snowed heavily last night.

动词同义词转换

原句:The runner couldn’t catch up with the others in the race.

修改后:The runner fell behind the others in the race.

形容词同义词转换

原句:I am completely confident that I am competent for the new job.

修改后:I am completely confident that I am qualified for the new job.

2短语优先原则

使用短语替换单词具有两大优势:

文章显得更为地道,增加亮点;

增加字数。

例:

原句:When he was a child, he wanted to learn everything.

修改后:When he was a child, he had a strong appetite for knowledge.

与原句中的wanted to learn everything相比,修改后的例句中的had a strong appetite for knowledge更能表现出“他”的求知若渴,表达更加生动。

常见的单词转化成短语的方法有:

形容词变短语方法:of+同根名词

小编温馨提示,由于英语词义范围非常广泛,即便是同义词也只是某种程度上的近似,不可能在意义上完全对等,所以大家在选词时要注意同义词含义上的细小差别哦。

例如:

句一: So there arises the problem: What should we do to get rid of the wrong attitudes toward the migrant workers?

句二: So there arises the question: What should we do to get rid of the wrong attitudes toward the migrant workers?

problem指的是“实际存在的问题”或“需要解决的现实问题”,question指的是“可获得解释或回答的问题”,此处用question更为恰当。
