如何應對托福寫作中的提筆忘詞?學會如何替換用詞
對于托福考試來說,考場緊張是難免的事情。而最讓人尷尬的事情,就是在寫作過程中的提筆忘詞。那么,在考場中遇到這樣的情況應該怎么辦呢?下面為你帶來三種方法,讓你在考場中應對提筆忘詞也迎仍自如。
一、換用籠統詞
詞大體可分為兩類:籠統詞和具體詞。籠統詞的特點在于意義廣泛、搭配性強。雖然它們獨自不能精確表達一個動作,但在構成詞組以后可替代很多具體詞。寫作中遇到一些具體詞寫不出來的時候,用籠統詞取代,能收到異曲同工之妙。最常用的籠統詞有 have,take等。
例:邁克經歷了一個極其艱苦的時代。M ike experienced a terrible hard time.寫作時,若忘記了experience可用籠統詞have代替,寫成M ike had a terrible hard time.同樣能收到預期效果。
再看幾例:
Are you married?= Do you have a wife /husband?
Do you understand my meaning?=Do you take my meaning?
She will subscribe(訂閱)to Chi- na Today.=She will take China To- day.
二、換用同義詞、反義詞
遇到未曾學過的詞或一時想不起的詞時,可采用發散性思維,發揮想象力,盡可能想出與之有關的同義詞、反義詞,利用語言的內在聯系、多層次、多角度地運用語言,使單詞受阻現象得以解決。
例:昨晚李雷做了一場惡夢。
Li Lei had a nightmare last night. 因nightmare使用率不高,不易記住。但其同義詞bad dream易記。上句可換譯為:Li Lei had a bad dream last night.
再如:The food is tasty.=The food is nice toeat.=The food is delicious.
We discontinued the work at nine.=We stopped the work at nine.
This woman is talkative.=This woman is never quiet.
This car is expensive.=This car is not cheap.
三、換用迂回表達
當一個詞或某些信息表達起來有困難時,要充分利用語言本身詞匯豐富、句型多變等特點,進行迂回表達。因為任何一種表達形式,只要能達意便可接受。請仔細觀察劃線部分詞語,看看是如何迂回表達的。
例:1.我從未見到過這樣頑固的人。
I've never seen such a stubborn person.=I've never seen such a person who never listens to other's advice.
2.如果我們想得到文憑,我們必須首先通過考試。
If we want to obtain a diploma,we must first pass the exams.=If we want to get a graduation paper,we must first pass the exams.
3.工廠里的煙囪(chimney)拔地而起。
High chimneys have appeared in the factories.=The factories are full of high chimneys.=A lot of high chimneys can be seen in the factories.
4.他數學考試取得優異成績,被大學錄取了。
He passed the maths exam /succeeded in the maths exam and became a college student.
5.中午我們吃了野餐。
At noon we had a picnic.=At noon we had our lunch in the open air.
