忘词,是很多同学在考试或平时的练习中经常会遇到的。有时候越想要表达“它”的时候,就越找不到合适的词。也许你想说的就在嘴边,但就是忘了怎么拼写。
在AEIS作文中,往往因为一个单词不会写而使得意思表达不清。如何应付这种情况,使作文顺利进行下去呢?下面是三种简便易学的应急措施,可能对你有所帮助!
试用笼统词
英语中的笼统词有have、take 等,笼统词的重要特点在于意义广泛,搭配性强,构成词组后可以替代众多具体动词。虽然不能精确表达一个动作,却能大致表达意思。
在一些具体动词写不出来的时候,用这些笼统词取代,也能收到异曲同工的效果。
例如:
我经历了一个极其艰苦的时代。
I experienced a terrible hard time.
这一句中,experience被遗忘时,用have代替,成为:I had a terrible hard time. 其效果及表达的意义决不亚于第一句。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。
联想有关词汇
当遗忘某个单词,或遇到未曾学过的单词时,应采取放射性思维,发挥想象力,想出一切与之有关的单词。利用语言的内在联系,多层次,多角度地运用语言。
一般情况下,联想可按下列思路进行:
(1)联想同义词
(2)联想反义词
英语语言中众多的同义词在许多情况下是可以通用的。来看下面的句子:
I had a nightmare last night. = I had a bad dream last night.
nightmare使用频率不高,很多同学都不认识。而其同义词 bad dream 则很容易记。以后者取代前者丝毫不影响原句的意义。
再比如:I don‘t understand this word. 也可以说成 I don’t know this word.
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:
The knife is blunt. = The knife is not sharp.
This is expensive. = This is not cheap.
She is talkative. = She is never quiet.
试用解释性语句
语言的功能在于表达,而表达的方式是多种多样的。当一个词影响到表达,可以用英语中的多功能解释性语句。请看下面的句子:
He is a dumb. = He is a person who can not speak.
He refused. = He said “no”.
I’ve never seen such a stubborn person. = I’ve never seen such a person who never listens to other‘s advice.
解释性语句能帮助我们巧妙地避开一些大词、难词,又能使意思表达流畅,不失为一聪明之举。
