托福寫作中常用錯(cuò)的5組詞匯

1、托福寫作中常用錯(cuò)的 5 組詞匯 托福寫作詞匯中，有些相似詞義的詞匯，其實(shí)在用法上大相徑庭。為了幫助考生 避開誤區(qū)，盡量不在詞匯量上被扣分，下面是小編給大家?guī)淼耐懈懽髦谐Ｓ缅e(cuò)的 5 組詞匯，希望能幫到大家 ! 托福寫作中常用錯(cuò)的 5 組詞匯 一、 compare 與 contrast 的誤用 我們先從兩者的定義入手來看兩者的區(qū)別。 Compare 的定義為： to examine people or things to see how they are similar or different. Contrast 的定義為： to compare two or more things to

2、show the difference between them. 由定義不難看出前 者側(cè)重于找到兩個(gè)或多個(gè)事物的異同 ,而后者則側(cè)重于它們的不同。 看個(gè)例句： It is interesting to compare their situations to ours./It is interesting to contrast their situations to ours. 前一句翻譯為：對(duì)比一下我們的情況與他們的情況會(huì)很有趣。 后一句的翻譯為：我們的情況與他們的情況有很大的不同 ,這很有趣。 再看一個(gè)引自 OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNSEDRICTIONARY 的例子：

3、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. 不難發(fā)現(xiàn)Compare翻譯為 與 . 相比而contrast可譯為 明顯不同的是 . ， 切記這種翻譯方式就不會(huì)用錯(cuò)彼此了。 二、介詞使用錯(cuò)誤

4、 1、 普通介詞的誤用 一般表現(xiàn)為固定搭配錯(cuò)誤 ,如常把 provide sb with sth 用成 provide sb sth; be satisfied with 用成 be satisfied for 等,雖然這樣的錯(cuò)誤看似無傷大雅，但在考官眼里就 是影響順暢閱讀的 ,當(dāng)然會(huì)影響最終成績(jī)。解決的辦法簡(jiǎn)單而古老：把常見的固定搭配 牢記于心 ,問題自然就解決了。 2、 tc作為介詞的誤用“to常見的用法是以動(dòng)詞不定式符號(hào)的形式出現(xiàn)的，所以同學(xué)們也已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了 to do”的固定搭配。對(duì)于一些如 walk to me, to the left等介詞to表方向等常見用法一般 也不會(huì)出現(xiàn)錯(cuò)誤。但

5、是對(duì)于與動(dòng)詞搭配的介詞 to就會(huì)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)： 女口： More and more students have taken to depend on their parents to make decision for them. 這里的 take to means to begin to do sth as a hSb中 t為介詞，所以后面只能 接名詞或相當(dāng)于名詞的詞，如動(dòng)名詞。所以黑體處應(yīng)改為 depending on。 take to的 另一個(gè)常用用法也需要牢記： He hasn t taken to his new school.(這里 take to means to start lik

6、ing sb or sth ) Prefer A to B 中的 tofi是介詞，會(huì)有 prefer doing sth to doing sth/ prefer sth to sth else, prefer to do sth rather than do st中的 t可是真正的不定式符號(hào)。 類似的常用用法請(qǐng)同學(xué)們牢記： Be used to doing Be accustomed to doing See to doing Adapt to doing Adjust to doing prefer doing sth. to doing sth. 三、 assume 及 claim 使用

7、不夠準(zhǔn)確 我們知道 , think, assume, claim 是議論文中常用引出觀點(diǎn)的動(dòng)詞。在實(shí)際作文中 , 同學(xué)們往往認(rèn)為幾個(gè)詞的意思是一樣的 ,完全可以代換 ,所以拿過來就用。甚至還有同學(xué) 把 consider 也拿過來與之混用。我們首先還是從定義來看這幾個(gè)詞的不同： Think： to have opinion or belief about sth. 翻譯為認(rèn)為通,常接賓語從句來表達(dá)比較確定的觀點(diǎn)。 Assume ： to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it. 翻譯為 假設(shè)、假定 是,否有事

8、實(shí)依據(jù)是不確定的。 Claim ： to say sth is true although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it. 翻譯為聲稱用,這個(gè)詞往往意味著不贊同緊跟其后的觀點(diǎn) ,所以很少用作 I claim that Scien tist are claimi ng a breakthrough in the fight agai n st can cer, but in fact, 。 所以It is claimed that通常翻譯為 有報(bào)道稱 在于后者翻譯為 據(jù)報(bào)道 往,往代表著作者贊同報(bào)告的內(nèi)容 ,

9、 Consider ： to think about sth carefully, especially in order to make a decision 翻譯為 考慮 一,般不用作引出觀點(diǎn) ,看個(gè)例子： We are considering buying a new car. 所以 ,千萬不要在托福寫作的第一段 (觀點(diǎn)表達(dá)段 )就因?yàn)橛迷~把握不準(zhǔn)而導(dǎo)致對(duì)整 篇文章的低分印象。 四、表 建議的詞匯后面忘記用虛擬從句 這是摘自學(xué)生托福作文中的一個(gè)病句： I suggest he continues his study instead of working after graduation

10、from high school. 因?yàn)?sugges翻譯為 建議所以后面的從句應(yīng)該用虛擬語氣，黑體部分應(yīng)該改為 (should) continue 所以考生一定要牢記以下常見表 建議的詞匯 ,而且要記住這些詞接從句時(shí)要用虛 擬語氣： Recommend, suggest, advise 五、such as 與 for example 的混用 我們知道,在表示舉例子的時(shí)候，such as與like是完全等同的，如：Wild flowers such as/like orchids and primroses are becoming rare. 但是同學(xué)們對(duì)于 Such as、 for exa

11、mple 的把握還是不夠準(zhǔn)確。我們都知道 ,后者接 句子前者接詞語表示舉例子。于是就有了下面的寫法： There is a similar word in many languages, such as in French and Italian. 這里的 such as 改為 for example 為好，因?yàn)?in French and Italian 其實(shí)是 there is a similar word in French and Italian 的簡(jiǎn)化,所以要用 for example 來引出例證。再來 看幾個(gè)類似的例子： It is possible to combine comp

12、uter science with other subjects, for example physics. 托福獨(dú)立寫作高分范文 投資道路還是公共交通 優(yōu)秀的新托福寫作文章大家也一定看過不少，但是誰不想多儲(chǔ)備點(diǎn)文章呢 ?下面請(qǐng) 看小編為大家?guī)淼囊黄?jīng)典寫作文章，希望同學(xué)們看完能夠有所啟發(fā)。 Should governments spend more money on improving roads and highways, or should governments spend more money on improving public transportation (buses, t
