雅思語(yǔ)法使用誤區(qū)一、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 example 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(yǔ)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)閕n 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(lái)引出例證。再來(lái)看幾個(gè)類似的例子:
It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects, for example physics。
雅思語(yǔ)法使用誤區(qū)二、assume 及claim 使用不夠準(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(guò)來(lái)就用。甚至還有同學(xué)把consider也拿過(guò)來(lái)與之混用。我們首先還是從定義來(lái)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(yǔ)從句來(lái)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
Scientist are claiming a breakthrough in the fight against cancer, but in fact, 。
所以It is claimed that通常翻譯為有報(bào)道稱。。。。和it is reported that 的區(qū)別在于后者翻譯為據(jù)報(bào)道,往往代表著作者贊同報(bào)告的內(nèi)容,
