很多考生雅思考试期间以及平时没有形成英语思维,有些还是由中文直译英文来表达的,有的时候会遇到雅思词穷的情况,知道意思是什么,但单词就是想不出来,或不太清楚那个短语或句子是什么样的了。
这种情况若不能及时应对,还是非常花费时间的,特别是写作部分,大小作文就1个小时,若想了很长时间,估计能放到正文书写的时间就更少了。
那么,遇到这种情况,我们该如何应对呢?有什么好方法能缓解这类情况?一起和小编来看看有哪些好方法吧~
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。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。
再看一个例子:Are you married?=Do you have a wife/husband?
换用同义词和反义词
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:This car is expensive.=This car is not cheap.
换用迂回表达
当一个词或某些信息表达起来有困难时,要充分利用语言本身词汇丰富、句型多变等特点,进行迂回表达。因为任何一种表达形式,只要能达意便可接受。请仔细观察划线部分词语,看看是如何迂回表达的。
1.我从未见到过这样顽固的人。
I've never seen such a stubborn person.=I've never seen such a person who never listens to other's advice.
2.如果我们想得到文凭,我们必须首先通过考试。
If we want to obtain a diploma,we must first pass the exams.=If we want to get a graduation paper,we must first pass the exams.
3.工厂里的烟囱(chimney)拔地而起。
High chimneys have appeared in the factories.=The factories are full of high chimneys.=A lot of high chimneys can be seen in the factories.
4.他数学考试取得优异成绩,被大学录取了。
He passed the maths exam/succeeded in the maths exam and became a college student.
5.中午我们吃了野餐。
At noon we had a picnic.=At noon we had our lunch in the open air.
