  •     在托福獨立寫作的滿分標準中第四項提到“Display consistent facility in the use of language ,demonstrating syntactic variety, appropriate word choice, and idiomaticity, though it may have minor lexical or grammatical errors.”不言而喻,一篇高分的作文在做到邏輯順暢,展開充實的基礎(chǔ)上還必須滿足語言的多樣性,即句式多樣和詞匯的多樣。今天筆者蔡蔡就從詞匯表達多樣性展開分析,將寫作中考生必用,但又苦于用詞“別無選擇”的詞匯表達進行歸類,補充其多樣表達和同義替換,以助力考生。
        一. “有”
        在任何一篇文章中,表達“有”這一含義是不可避免的,然而多數(shù)考生只會沉迷于“have”這一詞。該如何表達這一概念?考生應(yīng)根據(jù)語境選用適當替換。
        褒義“有”:
        possess, boast, be blessed with, be equipped with
        如:1.由于科技的進步,人們有各種交流方式的選擇。
        Thanks to the development of science and technology, people are blessed with various choices of communicating.
        2. 參與社會活動能讓大學生有更多實用技能。
        College students are equipped with various practical skills by engaging in social activities.
        貶義“有”:
        be overwhelmed with, be flooded by, be bombarded with, be loaded with
        1. 現(xiàn)代社會,人們有很大的壓力。
        In modern society, people are loaded with/flooded by heavy pressure.
        2. 學生有很多作業(yè),經(jīng)常熬夜學習。
        Overwhelmed with piles of homework, students always burn the midnight oil.
        二.“因為”
        因果關(guān)系是任何一篇議論文中不可或缺的表達,在推理分析時,需要適當?shù)谋磉_因果的表達。而且一篇文章中可能會多次使用。如何避免單一重復(fù)呢?且看蔡蔡慢慢道來。
        褒貶皆可“因為”
        (原因)result in(結(jié)果)
        (結(jié)果)result from(原因)
        because(+句子),because of(+名詞)
        since (句子)
        (原因)contribute to (結(jié)果)
        褒義“多虧了”
        Thanks to
        貶義“歸咎于,導致”
        Cause, lead to
        (結(jié)果)should be blamed on (原因)
        (原因)be responsible for (結(jié)果)
        (原因)be the culprit of (結(jié)果)
        如:1.人類活動導致了環(huán)境污染。
        Human activities are responsible for/the culprit of the environmental pollution.
        Environmental pollution should be blamed on human activities.
        三.“非?!?BR>    在強調(diào)程度時,必會用到“非?!边@一概念。然而,大多數(shù)考生所能想到的無外乎“very, pretty, extremely”。事實上,“非?!闭娴挠小胺浅!倍嗟谋磉_形式。
        褒義“非?!?BR>    Extraordinarily, Amazingly, remarkably
        褒貶皆可“非?!?BR>    Considerably, tremendously, enormously,
        Surprisingly, noticeably, shockingly
        貶義“非常”
        Notoriously
        如:1.長城是中國文化的標志,非常美。
        As the symbol of the Chinese culture, the Great Wall is amazingly magnificent.
        2.年輕人很叛逆,不像過去那么聽從于父母。
        Youngsters who are notoriously rebellious are not as obedient as they were in the past.
        四.“越來越”
        在文章中表達變化趨勢及程度時,會用到“越來越”。多數(shù)考生能想到的只有 “more and more”。實則,“越來越”也可以多樣表達。
        名詞前用
        An increasing number of
        An expanding number of
        A growing number of
        形容詞前用
        Increasingly
        如:越來越多的剛剛畢業(yè)的大學生發(fā)現(xiàn)找好工作越來越難。
        An increasing number of fresh college graduates find that obtaining a decent job is increasingly difficult.
        此外,還可將形容詞轉(zhuǎn)化詞性,變?yōu)槊~,用“名詞+be on the rise”。還是這個句子,就可以表達為:
        The difficulty of obtaining a decent job is on the rise, as the number of fresh college graduates grows.
        五.“重要性”
        在獨立寫作中,利弊類話題若是支持一方觀點,也就是默認其“重要性”。但是表達重要性時,除了“important”,還有其它方式嗎?且看下文。
        A 對B重要可表達為如下:
        1. A is essential/crucial/indispensable/vital to B.
        2. A is of importance/significance to B.
        3. The importance of A to B can never be ignored/denied.
        4. A cannot survive/develop/be achieved without B.
        5. Nothing is more important to B than A.
        6. A paves the way for B.
        7. A plays an important role in B.
        8. A is to B what C is to D (water is to fish/foundation is to skyscraper).
        若想表達“運氣對成功重要。”,運用這些表達,就可輕松做到多樣表達。
        1. Luck is essential/crucial/indispensable/vital to success.
        2. Luck is of importance/significance to success.
        3. The importance of luck to success can never be ignored/denied.
        4. Success cannot be achieved without luck.
        5. Nothing is more important to success than luck.
        6. Luck paves the way for success.
        7. Luck plays an important role in achieving success.
        8. Luck is to success what foundation is to skyscraper.
        若想在寫作中實現(xiàn)語言的多樣性,不在于背誦大量生澀難懂的高難詞匯,加大記憶的負荷,而在于將記憶庫中已有的積累進行梳理和歸納,為己所用。望筆者蔡蔡精心整理的“多樣性必備五大表達”為考生助一臂之力。
