为了方便广大考生更好的复习,综合整理了雅思写作中最易用错的五组词,以供各位考生考试复习参考,希望对考生复习有所帮助。
雅思小作文因为比较模式化,相对来说用错词的情况也少一些。提醒考生们在常见错误方面应注意:在谈及价位时我们应该用高低而非大小贵贱来表达,即high/low price 而非big/small price 或者expensive/cheap price; great value而不是big value; their living condition is poor而非bad等等。其实,小作文中比较集中的错误在比较与对比搞不清楚,所以出现 compare与 contrast 的使用错误,这里我们详细说一下。
一、compare与contrast的误用
我们先从两者的定义入手来看两者的区别。Compare的定义为:to examine people or things to see how they are similar or different. Contrast的定义为:to compare two or more things to show the difference between them. 由定义不难看出前者侧重于找到两个或多个事物的异同,而后者则侧重于它们的不同。
看个例句:
It is interesting to compare their situations to ours./It is interesting to contrast their situations to ours.
前一句翻译为:对比一下我们的情况与他们的情况会很有趣。
后一句的翻译为:我们的情况与他们的情况有很大的不同,这很有趣。
再看一个引自OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNERS 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.
不难发现,Compare 翻译为 与。。。相比而contrast可译为明显不同的是。。。,切记这种翻译方式就不会用错彼此了。
二、介词使用错误
1、普通介词的误用
一般表现为固定搭配错误,如常把provide sb with sth用成provide sb sth; be satisfied with用成be satisfied for等等,虽然这样的错误看似无伤大雅,但在考官眼里就是影响顺畅阅读的,当然会影响最终成绩。解决的办法简单而古老:把常见的固定搭配牢记于心,问题自然就解决了。
2、to作为介词的误用
to最常见的用法是以动词不定式符号的形式出现的,所以同学们也已经习惯了 to do的固定搭配。对于一些如walk to me, to the left等介词to表方向等常见用法一般也不会出现错误。但是对于与动词搭配的介词to就会经常犯错:
如:
More and more students have taken to depend on their parents to make decision for them.
这里的 take to means to begin to do sth as a habit 其中 to为介词,所以后面只能接名词或相当于名词的词,如动名词。所以黑体处应改为depending on。take to的另一个常用用法也需要牢记:
He hasnt taken to his new school.
Prefer A to B中的 to也是介词,会有 prefer doing sth to doing sth/ prefer sth to sth else, 这里朗阁海外考试研究中心提醒您,prefer to do sth rather than do sth中的to可是真正的不定式符号。
类似的常用用法请同学们牢记:
Be used to doing
Be accustomed to doing
See to doing
Adapt to doing
Adjust to doing
prefer doing sth. to doing sth.
以上就是雅思写作考试中考生最易用错的五组词,考生们在复习备考时要多加注意,以防在考试中出现哦。
