英语写作准确用词四“C”标准

篇1:英文准确用词四C标准

英文准确用词四C标准

准确用词关系到表达的正确和地道,一般而言涉及四个“C”:

第一个“C”为connotation(内涵),它比meaning(意义)更为深入。例如,discount的意思为“折扣”,但英语中“30% discount”指原价100元现在卖70元;而汉语中“三折”指原价100元现在卖30元。汉语表达的很多意思在英语中没有完全对应的说法,但可以尽量找接近的,以提高表达的“精确度”。《新东方英语》第1期29页一篇讲词汇知识的文章说“有时候会犯些小错(mistake),有时候会闹大笑话(blunder)”,其实blunder是强调错误的'“严重”和“非故意”,howler才和“大笑话”对应。

第二个“C”为collocation(搭配)。它除了影响地道性(如big rain不如heavy rain地道),还与词义有关,例如apply与for和to搭配时意思分别为“申请”和“运用”。须注意的是entitle若和to搭配意思就不是通常的“冠名,命名”,而是“拥有某种权利、地位、荣誉等”。“be entitled to”的用法首先出现于1995年研究生入学考试第25题,上海高考第53题“再现”时答对率仅11%(显然其中还有许多是猜对的)。

第三个“C”为contest(上下文)。上下文会影响词的意义,笔者曾讨论过不同上下文中词义截然相反的情况(本报.10.3)。当然,广义的contest还包括场合。例如,“生意兴隆通四海,财源茂盛达三江”可以简单地表达为“Far and wide trade booms;here and there money comes”,但在正式场合译为“Home and abroad business thrives;hither and thither profit arrives”更好,因为这样用词较为庄重和古雅(hither and thither是here and there在古英语中的说法)。

第四个“C”为culture(文化),这需要考虑使用不同语言的人的思维方式、风俗习惯和可能的心理反应等因素。例如,东西方对狗的情感态度不同,狗在西方并不像在东方一样可鄙。英语中“dog-eat-dog”并不像汉语中“狗咬狗”一样带有鄙夷甚至幸灾乐祸的感情色彩,而是强调残酷甚至有点痛惜。这一差异在英译汉的时候尤其应该重视。口译时若把“as faithful as a dog”译为“像狗一样忠实”很容易引起东方人的反感,活译为“像老黄牛一样忠诚”则效果会好得多。又如,海燕(storm petrel)在中、俄两国是进步和新锐力量的象征,但在西方经济界则指引起恐慌和震荡的人或事物,因此可以视具体情况用pioneer, vanguard,gazelle或bellwether等词替代。

篇2:英语写作用词的准确表达

英语写作用词的准确表达

一个词的意思有两方面:denotation和connotation。Denototion是词的字面意思,正如字典上所定义的一样;Connotation是由词引申联想到的意思和情感。例如country,nation,state和land,它们的字面意思多少有相似之处,都可以译成“国家”,但它们的涵义却相差甚远。Country主要指国土及国民;Nation强调民族,种族;state多指国家的政府及政府机构;而land指国家虽不够精确,但更富有文学的色彩,比country一词带有更多的感情。初学写作的人有时会选错词,但更多的时候是选词不全错,而是不够准确、地道,导致词不达意,甚至导致冒犯和误解。固此在英语写作中要学会选择准确的词来表达自己的思想。

一般来说,要把握选词的准确性, 可以从下面三方面入手。

一、要有广泛的阅读积累,才能了解词与社会、历史、文化及政治因素的关系,选词时才能符合语言习惯并与社会文化诸多背景一致。例如,英美人对landlord和peasant两词的理解与中国人截然不同。英美人对前者的理解首先是“房东”,然后才是“地主”;而peasant一词对他们来说意味着“粗俗”与“无知”,此词多少带有贬义色彩。再如propaganda一词在中国并不带有西方人所理解的贬意;而First lady(第一夫人)绝不能理解为汉语的原配夫人,因此在写作中应特别注意这类词,否则会导致冒犯和误解。

由于东西方社会历史文化的差异,许多词所引申或代表的内容也大相径庭,Phoenix在西方象征“复活”、“再生”,而汉语的这一词却表示“祥瑞”。Peach在汉语中象征“长寿”而在英语中却用以指代“特别讨人喜爱的人或物”。又比如在表示色彩的词中green是青春的颜色,常表示希望、活力,但在英语中green又与“妒忌” (to be green with envy,green-eyed)和“没有经验的”(a greeh horn)联系起来。

如果没有广泛的阅读积累,养成经常查字典的`良好习惯,单凭想当然地选词,势必会词不达意。即使同一事物,在美国和英国也可能有不同的表达。例如:corn一词在美国指“玉米”而在英国泛扮“谷物”;“地铁”在英国用tube或under-groud美国则用subway。此类的例子还有pave-ment/sidewalk, Chemists' shop/drug store等。

二、在英语写作中特别要注意区分同义词,选词时要考虑主题、对象及情景(subject, audi-enc, situation)。由于历史的原因,现代英语除本族语外,还包括大量的法语和拉丁来源的饲,这就使英语的同义词相当丰富。总的来讲,英语本族语大多是短词,小词,听起来朴素)亲切,大量用于口头表达:法语来源的词庄重文雅,多与行政、宗教、军事、服饰等有关;拉丁来源的词,书卷味浓, 如ask,question,inter-rogate这三个不同来源的同义词在不同的主题、对象、情景下用法就不一样。

同义词除了来源的不同会影响措词的选择外,它们在程度、感情色彩上也有不同。比如“瘦”可以用slender,slim,lean, thin,underweight,gaunt, lanky,skinny等来表达,而sleder表示“苗条”是褒义的,skinny却是贬义的,underweight则是中性的词。

即使同是褒义词,表达的感情色彩也不同。比如little和petite两个同义词当用来描绘女子时,都意为“个子小”的,但petite同时还有“匀称”的意义,而little更强调“可爱的”或“可怜的”,根据不同的上下文,它还有“纤小”、“娇小”或“弱小”等不同意义。因此在选词表达思想时,一定要分清主题,对象及情景。

另外让中国学生头痛的是一些同义词的习惯搭配。比如large和big都指“大”,但large通常用来修饰诸如number,amount及quantity(a large nunlber of students,a large almount of money,a large quantity of wine,etc)。但象“勇气”,“信心”,”能力”、“智慧”等表示个人素质的名词,人们通常用呷碰而不用big或large来修饰。由此可见,在英语写作实践中,区分同义词的用法是相当重要的。

三、选择措词应把握好英语和汉语词汇无法对应的部分

不是所有的英语词汇都有相应的汉语表达,一些不同的英语词汇也有可能用同样的汉语来表达,这就使我们在用英语来表达思想对面临更多选择上的困难。比如family和home两词都可译成汉语的“家”,但它们却不是同义词。Family主要指家庭成员,与人有关,而home主要指所居住的地点、住宅。Except和besides有时都译成同样的汉语“除了”,但他们的意思却是相反的。因此我们不能依赖于单纯的汉语译意。否则我们可能会被误导。尽管许多英语对应的汉语词汇都能表达它们真正的意思,但往往有些英语词汇没有准确的汉语对应词;所以只有在不同的上下文中才能确定它们真正的意思,比如send一词,如果单把它理解成汉语的“送”的话,象这样的句子“她送信给我”也许会被写成she sent me the letter.而英语准确的表达应是she brought me the letter.再如“他将送朋友去机场”,如果写成He will send his friend to the airpot。就又错了。正确的表达应该是He will go to the airpot with his friend to see him off. 实际上send sth to a place 应该是请别人送去,自己不去。因此,要确定我们所选的词是否准确、恰当,单凭查词典还不行。

托福备考策略和技巧-写作如何得高分

1.你的时间预算

你只有半个小时来应对托福独立写作,你必须要把时间估算好,这其中可能包括:计划和记录2-3分钟;写文章大约20分钟;检查文章3-5分钟。这其中可能有的考生还需要理思路和列提纲等,反正大家要把考试时间计算精确,千万别等时间到了,你还没有写完,更别谈检查了。

2.仔细阅读问题

对于托福独立写作,最重要的就是审题,就是考生必须要准确地写这个题目。如果你对题目都理解得不清不楚,那么你写出来的文章或许也不能算是一篇成功或者说高分作文。

3.头脑风暴

在进行托福独立写作之前,考生应该花一些时间来进行“头脑风暴”,思考这个话题和最好的方法。也只有这样才能让你在看到题目之后把所以可能会出现的情况都提前封上,以求写出高分作文。

4.写你计划的文章

你不必用罗马数字、大写字母等写出正式的大纲。但是,你应该做一些笔记。通过你的笔记,你可以根据你列出思路进行写作,把你想要写的点都写到,以充实你的托福写作文章。

5.确保你的笔迹是尽可能清晰

因为现代托福考试都是机考,这些这里的笔迹清晰你可以理解成你的文章逻辑思路,不要让读者即你的批改考官看到一篇没有逻辑的文章,这样会影响你的得分的。

6.遵循一个明确,逻辑结构

这其实和第5点差不多,就是要说你的文章结构要清楚,这样阅读人才会有兴趣读下去。一般好的文章一般是这样的结构:

主题段:提出观点或者主旨。

正文:由2-3段组成,这其中包括例子叙述等内容。

结尾段:最后总结一些为什么选择这个,可能还会运用到让步段,即如果选择另一个观点会怎么样。

7.使用具体的例子,具体原因

对于文章的例子,这个我们在这里也单独说一下,一般置于文章的正文部分,必须要有例子来支撑你的论点。

8.使用信号词来表示的转换

在你的文章当中,信号词可以用来连接段落到段落和句子到句子。

9.使用不同的句子类型

好的文章是由大部分的简单句+少许的长句组成。如果全篇都是简单句,就会让考官觉得你的文章太单调,这样的文章评分一般不会太高,所以在写作时,考生要努力的使用不同长度的句子来体现你的英文水平。

10.检查作文错误

在托福写作当中,往往会因一些小的错误让你的托福写作得不了高分,因此不要跨越长的部分或者尝试添加很多新的材料。在标点符号、拼写和大写以及常见的语法错误中找出明显的错误。这也是托福写作高分很重要的一个部分,所以大家要尽可能抽出些时间来进行检查。

托福写作模板:看电影看书放松比做运动更好吗

托福写作题目:看电影看书放松比做运动更好吗?

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: It is better to relax by a movie or reading a book than doing physical exercise.

托福写作模板:英文例文

Preference in methods of relaxation varies from person to person. Among these methods, staying indoors and reading or watching a movie is more popular than going outside and doing physical exercise. As for me, I prefer relaxing by reading a book and watching a movie.

Reading books or watching movies helps me relax physically. My days are busy with finishing all of my work, commuting to my office on the other side of the city, , and doing household chores that I do not have much time or energy to exercise. However, opening a book or playing a movie helps me slow down and restore my vitality. For example, when I read or watch a movie, I can sit back on a sofa or recline in bed. In this way, my muscles can rest. In contrast, when I exercise, I by no means rest or relax my body. In addition, I have to add washing my workout clothes to my already long list of chores.

Reading books and watching movies also helps me relax mentally. The tedious meetings, repeated routines and limited new tasks of my job makes me mentally exhausted. At these moments I like to enjoy an interesting story from a book or a famous movie. Then, all of the disturbing feelings, like boredom and depression, go away and I come away feeling inspired. For instance, I recently read the Biography of Steve Jobs and learned how this leader conquered adversity. In one of my favorite movies, The Shawshank Redemption, the main character Andy shows that no matter what difficulty we may confront, as long as we keep hope in our hearts, all the pressure will pass and the sun will still shine tomorrow.

Admittedly, exercising can help us relax to some degree. Football matches with co-workers, playing badminton in the backyard with family, and even a basketball game with some strangers could provide an escape from daily stress. However, viewed from a different perspective, doing physical activity has some potential risks. For instance, it is not uncommon to hear that people get physical injuries during physical exercise. What is worse, even some people have died suddenly from overstress their already tired bodies during exercise.

In conclusion, even though doing sports sometimes makes me feel more relaxed, I prefer reading a book or watching a movie when I want to relax.

篇5:托福写作如何提升用词准确性技巧实例精讲

托福写作如何提升用词准确性技巧实例精讲

托福写作用词不准确问题很常见

写作中用词不准确是很容易犯的毛病,good,terrible,see,nice,kind,greatly,think,know,something 等词汇在学生作文中反复出现。这些词本身并没有问题,是英语常用词,但是它们表达的意思过于模糊,很多情况下,应该使用意义更加准确的词。况且,学生老是使用这几个词会给人以表达形式单调,词汇量贫乏,文章缺乏感染力的印象。

实例讲解托福写作词汇使用技巧

下面的一些例子,通过换用一、两个准确生动的词语或是运用一些固定搭配及习语就使整个句子增色不少。

1.Original: Solving trivial problems in the dorm will add your social experience and helpyou to understand other people’s feelings and learn to be kind.

Revised: Solving trivial problems in the dorm will enrich your social experience andhelp you to understand other people’s feelings andlearn to be considerate.

亮点评析

add,kind表达的含义都比较宽泛。

add可以指数量上的增加,也可以指程度的加强,对于“丰富经验、增加知识”这个意思,用enrich会使表达更准确。

kind从字面意义上讲是“好的、善良的”,用kind来形容人无法具体地表现出一个人的性格特征到底怎样,原句中是想表达“考虑周到、体贴入微”的特点,要准确表达这个含义应选择considerate。

2. Original:Science and technology have greatly influenced our lives and our society ischanging very rapidly.

Revised:Science and technology have come to pervade every aspect of our lives and, as aresult, society is changing at a speed which is quite unprecedented.

亮点评析

greatly,rapidly 属于常用词,表示程度高、速度快,这样的词在表达效果上不够具体,缺乏说服力,在修改后的句子中用了pervade every aspect of our lives就具体生动地表现出科技的影响力到底有多大,其影响力已渗透到我们生活的方方面面,at a speed which is quite unprecedented意为“以一种前所未有的速度”,形象地道出了变化速度之快。

3.Original: Young people tend to think that real life is as nice and interestingas it is in the novels and movies, while more experienced adults think thiskind of naive daydream will only be destroyed by later experiences and everyone should learn to get used to common everyday life.

Revised:Young people tend to think that real life is as dramatic and fascinating as itis in the novels and movies, while more experienced adults think this kind ofnaive daydream will only be destroyed by later experiences and every one shouldlearn to get used to tedious everyday life.

亮点评析

nice,interesting,common都属于普通词汇,用到句子中也显得平淡苍白。nice的意思是“好的,令人愉快的”,interesting是“有趣的”,这两个词都不能准确地描绘出年轻人所憧憬的美好生活,句中想表达的是年轻人认为生活如同小说、电影一般充满戏剧变化,激动人心,要体现这层含义应该用dramatic,fascinating。dramatic表示“刺激的,戏剧性的,给人深刻印象的”,fascinating表示“具有强烈吸引力的,迷人的,使人神魂颠倒的”,这两个词的程度要比nice,interesting深得多,表现力也更强。

原句用common表达实际的现实生活的枯燥无味是不准确的,common的意思是“普通的,平常的”,普通平常的东西不一定是枯燥的,tedious是表示“(因过长、过慢或单调)令人厌倦的,烦人的”,恰好传达出现实生活由于琐碎和重复而变得索然无味这种含义。

托福写作解析:An important skill

托福写作题目:

Topic:An important skill

What is a very important skill a person should learn in order to be successful in the world today? Choose one skill and use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.

参考范文:

计算机技能是最重要的:

(1)计算机是工作中必须的。不会计算机软件的话,无法进行工作和学习。

(2)计算机已经成为人们互相交流的重要方面,如电子邮件等等。

(3)计算机技能能够大量的节省时间。一个成功的人必须把精力抽出来放在最重要的事情上。

Success has been an issue broadly discussed and defined by different approaches. Some say that being successful means being wealthy. Others associate success with popularity and power. A third approach would relate success with social and emotional well-being. So we come to the questions: “When can be someone considered successful?” and “What skills make success easier to achieve?"

In order to answer the second question, we should have a point of view about what success is. I consider that someone is really successful when that person is able to handle and enjoy social relationships. A leader can be powerful and recognized, but if he is unable to enjoy his leadership and feels lonely because he cannot establish a deep friendship, can we really say such leader is successful? On the other hand, a wealthy person may have all the possessions money can buy, but again, what if he cannot manage a marriage or a friendship? This person is likely to feel lonely and unsatisfied.

Developing social abilities may be a very helpful skill for a person to learn, in order to be successful in the social emotional side of his or her life. One ability to develop could be effective and assertive communication. Many misunderstandings and conflicts can be prevented if we express our ideas clearly and respectfully, and if we learn to ask for clarification when we feel threatened or offended by something someone told us. Another ability could be learning to handle teamwork. We need to learn to work with others at work, at home, at school, in our community. Getting into an agreement with our parents, children, coworkers and friends is a situation that can become hard to handle sometimes. Dealing with teamwork can be really helpful. Finally we could add the ability to deal with conflicts with others and conflicts with our own wishes or decisions. We will always find obstacles in our paths; it can be quite useful to know how to overcome them.

In my opinion, I would define success as being able to enjoy what you have, what you do and who you deal with everyday. And to achieve success, you should have skills that help you handle relationships with your peers. We are social creatures; we need each other to succeed, and to enjoy our success.

托福写作解析:A vehicle that changed people's lives

托福写作题目:A vehicle that changed people's lives

Choose one of the following transportation vehicles and explain why you think it has changed people's lives.

automobiles

bicycles

airplanes

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

参考分析:

应该选择automobiles。注意,要回答为什么汽车改变了人们的生活。

汽车改变了人们的时间、空间观念,进而改变了人们的生活。

汽车使货物的远程运输成为可能,进而使人们可以购买更多的商品。

汽车使汽油变得格外重要,直接间接导致了很多中东地区的战争。

汽车使空气污染更加严重,导致人们的健康受到影响。

范文:

An airplane is a form of transportation that has changed people's lives. Thanks to the plane, our lives are now faster, more exciting, and more convenient that before. You cannot deny that a plane is fast. For example, the Concorde flies at supersonic speed. A businessman can leave Paris at 11 a.m. in the morning and arrive in New York at 8 a.m. the same morning in time for a day's work. Many business people in Europe will fly to London for a noon meeting and then return home to Rome or Madrid for dinner.

It is always exciting to take a plane trip. When you take a trip by plane, you know that you might cross many time zones, many oceans, and many countries. When you get off the plane, you could be in a place that speaks a different language. A plane is like a magician's trick. You get in a box and you come out somewhere totally different.

Nothing can beat the convenience of a plane. In the old days, it might take you days to do what the plane can do it an hour. Boats, for example, only leave on certain days of the week and take a long time to get to their destination. Planes give you the option to leave several times a day and get you to your destination quickly.

Although other forms of transportation may be more comfortable ,none has changed the way we do business and live our lives more than the plane. Thanks to the speed, excitement, and convenience of the planes, our lives are richer.

托福写作解析:Why people attend college

托福写作题目:

Why people attend college?

People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

解析:

说明人们选择上大学的具体原因(一个或者多个):增加经验、拓展知识、开阔视野

为了实现理想(ideal; idealistic)为了保证将来的就业机会 父母要求子女上大学 别人都上大学了,所以自己也选择读书 找不到工作。

参考范文:

After graduating from high school many young people have the option to directly enter the work force. Most students who have the opportunity, however, decide to go to college before finding jobs (They attend college to obtain more choices,higher salaries, and more opportunities for advancement in an increasingly competitive job market. Before attending college, students have a limited opportunity to specialize. After obtaining a specific college degree a job applicant can be competitive for previously unavailable jobs.

For instance, applicants with Computer Science degrees would not only be qualified for jobs in hightech companies, they would also be well prepared for any job with computer skills as a prerequisite. With a larger range of potential jobs to choose from, degree holders are more likely to find a job that suits their particular needs and interests.

Additionally, employers are willing to pay a premium for highly qualified applicants. For example, many companies desire employees who are competent in more than one language and offer higher salaries to attract them.

Even if a job applicant without a college degree has high standardized test scores, employers may still place a higher value on an applicant with similar test scores who also possesses credentials from a wellknown university. Because of the extent to which a college degree is accepted by employers as proof of competence in a given field, college graduates are not only more likely to receive more job offers, they can also command higher salaries than applicants who lack college diplomas.

Finally, in addition to offering more choices and higher salaries, a college degree offers access to jobs with a clear path towards professional advancement. A B.S. in biology, for example, could allow a student to find a job in a lab after graduation, a first step on the road towards a career in scientific research. The same major could also be used to apply to medical school, and a career as a doctor. Both of these avenues would

篇6:英语用词正确和地道的四个“C”

关于英语用词正确和地道的四个“C”

准确用词关系到表达的正确和地道,一般而言涉及四个“C”:

第一个“C”为connotation(内涵),它比meaning(意义)更为深入。例如,discount的意思为“折扣”,但英语中“30% discount”指原价100元现在卖70元;而汉语中“三折”指原价100元现在卖30元。汉语表达的很多意思在英语中没有完全对应的`说法,但可以尽量找接近的,以提高表达的“精确度”。

第二个“C”为collocation(搭配),它除了影响地道性(如big rain不如heavy rain地道),还与词义有关,例如apply与for和to搭配时意思分别为“申请”和“运用”。

第三个“C”为contest(上下文),上下文会影响词的意义。广义的contest还包括场合,例如,“生意兴隆通四海,财源茂盛达三江”可以简单地表达为“Far and wide trade booms;here andthere money comes”,但在正式场合译为“Home and abroad business thrives;hither and thither profit arrives”更好,因为这样用词较为庄重和古雅(hither and thither是here and there在古英语中的说法)。

第四个“C”为culture(文化),这需要考虑使用不同语言的人的思维方式、风俗习惯和可能的心理反应等因素。例如,东西方对狗的情感态度不同,狗在西方并不像在东方一样可鄙。英语中“dog-eat-dog”并不像汉语中“狗咬狗”一样带有鄙夷甚至幸灾乐祸的感情色彩,而是强调残酷甚至有点痛惜。
