托福写作快换掉这些老掉牙的词
2017-08-11编辑: 环球教育整理来自: 环球教育整理
13.All
Just like “never,” “all” is an encompassing, absolute term. Not only is “all” unoriginal, it’s not usually factual. Try using “each” and “copious” instead.
和never的问题一样,all也是过于绝对。
比如练习题目:了解意大利文化的最佳方式是什么?有同学说是:上烹饪课。在论证中提到:Food represents the culture of all countreis。这就有点绝对,并不是任何一个国家的文化都可以为美食所代表,我们倒是可以说:大部分国家如此。In a majority of countreis, local cuisine can be seen as a cultural symbol.
当然,如果大家是想要表强调的时候,是没有问题哒!比如:想要强调这些全都是我自己做的,那可以说:I have done it all by myself.
14.Feel
“Feel” is also in the company of common English words. Try using “sense,” or “discern” instead. You can also move your sentence into a more active tense: “I feel hungry” could become “I’m famished,” for example.
在换词的时候,我们要注意:的确,最常用的词是最不容易错的,feel几乎可以用在任何“感觉”的句子中,但sense和discern则要因context来决定是否合适:
feel = experience a particular physical feeling or emotion 感知(通过五官的感受,或情绪的感受)
sense = feel that it exists or is true without being told or having proof 这种感受很微妙,有点第六感的感觉,比如:I could sense that something was wrong.
discern = to notice or understand something by thinking about it carefully(formal的表达)觉察出,是经过深思熟虑之后才觉察到的
15.Seem
“Seem” is bad habit word we are all guilty of using. Regardless of how well you think your sentence is constructed, try switching “seem” out for “shows signs of.” “Comes across as” is another good option to give your writing more power.
这组替换,主页君只想说:为了提升B格的成分比较多。类似的,我们在写作中可以把about换成concerning/ regarding,会把very important改成of great importance,把pursue改成in pursuit of 确实会B格满满~
16.Almost
Another easy adjective to let slip by, “almost” is a wasted opportunity to engage your readers. “Almost” is more interesting if you say “practically,” “nearly” or “verging on” instead.
汉语考试有一道题难到了一批外国人:要倒还没倒,没倒正要倒,到底倒没倒?差点摔倒了和差点没摔倒,哪个真倒了?其实,almost也是类似会让读者感到表意不清的说法,almost = nearly, but not completely or not quite从这个英英翻译中,我们不难看出,nearly其实是比almost表达了更确切的可能性的副词。
另外两词:
practically = virtually = very nearly 别看这个词看着蛮正式的,当“几乎,差不多”这个意思讲的时候,它可是相当口语化而表达哦!尽量不要用到写作中。
verging 常用的说法是:be verging on,Many of his activities are verging on the illegal. 他的很多行为都近乎违法的。
17.Just
“Just mak ing” it or “just barely” affording something isn’t very deive. To truly grab a reader, we must do better. Try “narrowly,” “simply” or “hardly” to give your phrasing more weight.
为了抓住读者,我们可以尝试把just换成一些更具有描述性质的词类似的改变就是昨天的Good啦~ 我们来温习 + 再补充一些更棒的转述Good:
杰出的:excellent, outstanding, exceptional, incomparable, first-rate, fantastic, fantabulous, splendid(壮丽的,辉煌的hall, reputation), magnificent(宏伟的palace, cathedral), phenomenal(非凡的), extraordinary(非比寻常的)
不可思议的:marvelous, unbelievable, unimaginable, fabulous,
吸引人的:appealing, attractive, enchanting, mesmerizing, engaging, absorbing,
令人满意的:decent, gorgeous
令人愉快的:agreeable, pleasant
精髓的:quintessential
高档的:fancy, high-quality
有利的:beneficial
