侃侃老师是轻课的写作老师,订阅他的侃词侃句有一年多的时间了,这次侃侃老师开《英语写作方法论》便毫不犹豫地订阅和学习了。学完之后并没有及时复习,以致于学习的效果并不好。这次拿出来复盘,并跟大家分享下。
遣词
遣词的标准:“对” + "好“
-- 词不是越高级越好,而是越准确越好。
例:
- I've found a job that can give me a lot of money.更加口语化
- I've found a job that can ensure me a decent pay. 适用于写作
-- 不要根据中文的意思去确定用哪个英文词汇,要根据英文意思去确定。
这部电影的特效很烂。
1)The special effects in this movie are terrible.更适用
2)The special effects in this movie are unsatisfactory.
-- 遣词要偏向于书面化,而不是口语化。
1)You should have enough sleep each night.
2) One people should have ample/sufficient sleep each night. 书面化
如何提升”遣词“的重要性?
1)使用英英词典:牛津、朗文、柯林斯、韦氏
2)使用语料库:corpus语料库
3)使用词典的例句功能
例1.
A healthy diet is beneficial to the body.
例2.跟debate常见的搭配
the current debate about tax.
There had been much debate on the issue of childcare.
例3.strikingly
She is strikingly beautiful.
Summary:
1)由于特别有趣或特别不同寻常而引人关注
2)通常strikingly+adj
如何做到”好“?
原则:
1)使用晚学到的词。
a.困难的:difficult/challenging
b.重要的:important/vital/essential/significant
c.美丽的:beautiful/appealing
2)能用短语就不用词汇
3)用词要具体。
