Contrast 的定義為:to compare two or more things to show the difference between them. 由定義不難看出前者側(cè)重于找到兩個(gè)或多個(gè)事物的異同 , 而后者則側(cè)重于它們的不同??磦€(gè)例句: It is interesting to compare their situations to ours./It is interesting to contrast their situations to ours. 前一句翻譯為:對(duì)比一下我們的情況與他們的情況會(huì)很有趣。 后一句的翻譯為:我們的情況與他們的情況有很大的不同 , 這很有趣。 再看一個(gè)引自 OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNER ’ S DICTIONARY 的例子: There is an obvious contrast between the culture of East and West. The company lost $7 million in contrast to a profit of $6.2 million a year earlier. When you look at their new system, ours seems very old-fashioned by contrast. 不難發(fā)現(xiàn) ,Compare 翻譯為 " 與。。。相比 " 而 contrast 可譯為 " 明顯不同的是。。。", 切記這種翻譯方式就不會(huì)用錯(cuò)彼此了。 2.assume 及 claim 使用不夠準(zhǔn)確 我們知道 , think, assume, claim 是議論文中常用引出觀點(diǎn)的動(dòng)詞。在實(shí)際作文中 , 同學(xué)們往往認(rèn)為幾個(gè)詞的意思是一樣的 , 完全可以代換 , 所以拿過來就用。甚至還有同學(xué)把 consider 也拿過來與之混用。我們首先還是從定義來看這幾個(gè)詞的不同: Think:to have opinion or belief about sth. 翻譯為 " 認(rèn)為 ", 通常接賓語從句來表達(dá)比較確定的觀點(diǎn)。 Assume:to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it. 翻譯為 " 假設(shè)、假定 ", 是否有事實(shí)依據(jù)是不確定的。 Claim:to say sth is true although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it. 翻譯為 " 聲稱 ", 用這個(gè)詞往往意味著不贊同緊跟其后的觀點(diǎn) , 所以很少用作‘ I claim that … Scientist are claiming a breakthrough in the fight against cancer, but in fact, …。 所以‘ It is claimed that ’通常翻譯為 " 有報(bào)道稱。。。"。和‘ it is reported that ’的區(qū)別在于后者翻譯為 " 據(jù)報(bào)道 ", 往往代表著作者贊同報(bào)告的內(nèi)容 , Consider:to think about sth carefully, especially in order to make a decision 翻譯為 " 考慮 ", 一般不用作引出觀點(diǎn) , 看個(gè)例子: We are considering buying a new car. 所以 , 千萬不要在托福寫作的*段 ( 觀點(diǎn)表達(dá)段 ) 就因?yàn)橛迷~把握不準(zhǔn)而導(dǎo)致對(duì)整篇文章的低分印象。 3. 表 " 建議 " 的詞匯后面忘記用虛擬從句 這是摘自學(xué)生托福作文中的一個(gè)病句: I suggest he continues his study instead of working after graduation from high school. 因?yàn)椤?suggest ’翻譯為 " 建議 ", 所以后面的從句應(yīng)該用虛擬語氣 , 黑體部分應(yīng)該改為 " ( should ) continue" 所以考生一定要牢記以下常見表 " 建議 " 的詞匯 , 而且要記住這些詞接從句時(shí)要用虛擬語氣: Recommend, suggest, advise 4.such as 與 for example 的混用 我們知道 , 在表示舉例子的時(shí)候 ,such as 與 like 是完全等同的 , 如:Wild flowers such as/like orchids and primroses are becoming rare.
但是同學(xué)們對(duì)于 Such as、for example 的把握還是不夠準(zhǔn)確。我們都知道 , 后者接句子前者接詞語表示舉例子。于是就有了下面的寫法: There is a similar word in many languages, such as in French and Italian. 這里的 such as 改為 for example 為好 , 因?yàn)?"in French and Italian" 其實(shí)是 "there is a similar word in French and Italian" 的簡化 , 所以要用 for example 來引出例證。再來看幾個(gè)類似的例子: It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects, for example physics. 以上是小編為大家整理的關(guān)于托福寫作常見詞匯的內(nèi)容,希望對(duì)大家備考有幫助。大家在平時(shí)寫作練習(xí)中,除了積累一些寫作常用詞匯外,還要積累寫作的素材,組建寫作模板,這些對(duì)于寫作提升都是非常有幫助的。
