高中英语新高考-英语作文:推敲词汇之make的替换词(附:实战作文批改实录)
我在前面讲过抽象名词的使用,例如:
If we are exposed to much TV, we will lose imagination.
我们可以把if的从句换成:
Rich exposure to TV
但是一个问题是:谓语怎么处理?
同学们普遍这样来的:
Rich exposure to TV will make us lose imagination.
当然句子是对的,但是,英语中老使用make,会让人感到词穷。实际上这样表达:
Rich exposure to TV will cost us imagination.
Cost本身就可以表示“使某人失去”。比较以下例子:
The result made me disappointed.
The result disappointed me.
The Internet makes me learn English more conveniently.
The Internet facilitate my English study.
The interference makes the country involved in a war.
The interference involves the country in a war.
但是这样的词到此有哪些?我把牛津词典从头翻到尾,挑出130个这样的词汇解决大家的难题。这里节选最常用的31个:
必要性:necessitate
激发,鼓励:inspire, encourage
增加,减少:minimize, multiply, expose, rid
联系:associate, involve, alienate
使得: allow, leave, keep, set
感情色彩:convince, impress, satisfy, excite, amaze
有助于:help, facilitate, smooth, sharpen
能力:enable, equip, entitle
消极:anger, frustrate, burden, cost, blind, ruin

改写句子,请替换其中的make:
1. The newspapers make me k
