编者按:简单通俗的表达在英语作文中可以传情达意,挺好的,可是阅卷老师的不待见.不好好说话,搬弄一些“高分表达”反而成了作文的时尚。 坊间流行高分词,这是事实.悲呼?喜呼?英语写作需要注意些说明呢?
有些词给人的感觉确实高雅又精准,远非常见的词所能企及的境界。对这类词“咬文爵字”还是有所裨益的。
1. individuals,characters, folks替换(people ,persons)
如:Opinion about Chinese education varies from individual to individual.
试比较:Different people have different opinions about Chinese education.
又如:
Unlike the new generations, most of the old folk show little interest in popular songs.(跟年轻人不一样,大多数 上年纪的人对流行歌没什么兴趣)
2: terrific, positive, favorable, rosy, promising, perfect, gorgeous , excellent, outstanding, superior替换good
如:He is not superior to me in football.
He is inferior to me in football.
试比较:He is not so good at football as I.
3.unwanted,less impressive,unfavorable, poor, wicked,shabby, ill , leave to be desired (有害的)替换bad
如:1)The boy finds his academic grades are less impressive.
2)The unwanted grades embarrassed the boy.
(试比较:He was sorry for his bad grades.)
3)In spite of his great efforts, he has English leaving to be desired.
试比较:His English is bad though he studies hard.
