第四讲 不落俗套的亮点词汇
写作最基本的要求是考查考生遣词造句的能力,遣词的原则是表达准确、地道自然、生动形象。如果考生在掌握了最基本词汇的基础上,能够将一些常用词汇进行升华,就将成为高考作文获得高分的亮点之一。
(一)运用高级词汇三原则
1.标新立异
恰当地使用一些蕴含感情色彩或其他考生不容易想到的高级词汇,会彰显自己的水平。
◆I finally came out of the contest as the first prize winner.
→Eventually/At last, I won the first prize of the contest.
◆I’ll thank you if you think about my suggestion.
→I’ll appreciate it if you take my suggestion into consideration.
◆We’ll try our best to improve the working conditions.
→We’ll spare no effort to promote the working conditions.(山东高考书面表达)
2.短语优先
写作中,要想写出“亮点”就要注意挖掘自己现存的词汇潜力,多使用词组、习语来代替一些单词,会使短文内容丰富,表达更有力度,增添文采。
◆Your art skills are excellent and admirable, which impress me greatly.
→Your art skills are excellent and admirable, which leave me a deep impression.(天津高考书面表达)
◆We should try to improve ourselves through learning and prepare for the future.
→We should take pains to improve ourselves through learning and get prepared for the future.(福建高考书面表达)
◆What’s more, we can pour out the troubles we face, and release our pressure from different aspects.
→What’s more, we can pour out the troubles we are faced with, and release our pressure from different aspects. (重庆高考)
3.手法多样
在表达相同或相近的意思时,要尽量避免过多地使用同一个单词,用其他相应的词或短语来代替,这样能让阅卷老师感觉到你词汇量丰富。实在找不到,可以变更说法,“曲径通幽”或许会有更好的效果。
◆We may have different opinions in organizing class activities. We may have different ways to deal with such a situation.
→We may have different opinions in organizing class activities. We may have various ways to deal with such a situation.(浙江高考书面表达)
◆It showed me that the way of education in Canada is quite different from the way of education in China.
