gre阅读考试时遇到陌生词汇怎么办?与其胡乱猜想,还不如让我们从词汇的后缀下手。下面将给大家举例介绍:
We believe,pehaps unimaginative, that this...
考点就是这个unimaginative
正确选项是A pedestrian 这个词本身没有必要讲解,如果你查阅韦氏字典这个单词的解释就是 unimaginative /commonplace
问题出在,不明确unimaginative 和 unimaginable的差别,是错误选择NOVEL的原因。前者是没有想象力的后者是不可想象的
-tive 这个后缀的含义:having a tendency to do, or tending to, 倾向于
unimaginative 在朗文字典的解释比较准确:
lacking the ability to think of new or unusaul ideas, ordinary and boring
-able 表示能力,所以unimaginable是不可想象的,not imaginable or comprehensible ,too extraordinary or improbable to believe,INCREDIABLE
Synonymsfantastic, implausible, inconceivable, unbelievable,unconvincing, unimaginable, unthinkable Related Wordsdoubtful, dubious,far-fetched, fishy, flimsy, questionable, suspect, unlikely,unreasonable; hopeless, impossible; absurd, outlandish, preposterous,ridiculous; indefensible, insupportable, untenable Near Antonymslikely,possible, probable; reasonable.
