英语四级考场写作应急方略

　　四级考场写作应急方略

　　在四级写作中，同学们往往会出现提笔忘词的现象。本来很好的构思往往被一个想不起来的单词硬生生地破坏了。如何应付这种情况使我们的写作思路如行云流水一般顺畅呢？下面三种简便易行的应急措施可能会对你有所帮助。

　　一、换用笼统词

　　词大体可分为两类：笼统词和具体词。笼统词的特点在于意义广泛、搭配性强。虽然它们独自不能精确表达一个动作，但在构成词组以后可替代很多具体词。写作中遇到一些具体词写不出来的时候，用笼统词取代，能收到异曲同工之妙。最常用的笼统词有 have，take等。

　　例：迈克经历了一个极其艰苦的时代。Mike experienced a terrible hard time.写作时，若忘记了experience可用笼统词have代替，写成Mike had a terrible hard time.同样能收到预期效果。这样的例子还很多。如：

　　Do you understand my meaning, sir? = Do you take my meaning, sir?

　　I will preside over the meeting. = I will take the meeting.

　　I will subscribe to the local newspaper. = I will take the local newspaper.

　　They occupied the city. = They took the city.

　　The boy resembles his father. = The boy takes after his father.

　　从以上的例句不难看出，具体词音节较多，使用频率不高，容易遗忘，而笼统词则不然。因此，在作文应试中，笼统词取代具体词，不失为一种应急良策。

　　二、换用同义词、反义词等相关词汇

　　遇到未曾学过的词或一时想不起的词时，可采用发散性思维，发挥想象力，尽可能想出与之有关的同义词、反义词，利用语言的内在联系、多层次、多角度地运用语言，使单词受阻现象得以解决。

　　例：昨晚李雷做了一场恶梦。

　　Li Lei had a nightmare last night.因nightmare使用率不高，不易记住。但其同义词bad dream易记。上句可换译为：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.

　　另外：

　　He is stupid. = He is foolish. = He is a fool. = He is silly.

　　The food is delicious. = The food is tasty. = The food is nice to eat.

　　They discontinued the work at five. = They stopped the work at five.

　　His temper is nasty. = His temper is terrible. = He has a bad temper.

　　英语语言中词与词之间是有联系的，词与词之间语义的共核现象即所谓的同义词。丰富的同义词给我们提供了极大的方便。

　　同样，用其反义词来取代某一遗忘了的词也是可行的，请看下面的例子：

　　He is stubborn. = He is not tame.

　　The knife is blunt. = The knife is not sharp.

　　This is expensive. = This is not cheap.

　　She is talkative. = She is never quiet.
