  不少同学容易将单词混淆导致失分,雅思写作中有哪些易混淆词?新航道小编为大家整理了相关资讯,希望能够对大家有帮助。

  一、compare与contrast的误用

  我们先从两者的定义入手来看两者的区别。 Compare的定义为:to examine people or things to see how they are similar or different. Contrast的定义为:to compare two or more things to show the difference between them. 由定义不难看出前者侧重于找到两个或多个事物的异同,而后者则侧重于它们的不同。

  看个例句:

  It is interesting to compare their situations to ours./It is interesting to contrast their situations to ours.

  前一句翻译为:对比一下我们的情况与他们的情况会很有趣。

  后一句的翻译为:我们的情况与他们的情况有很大的不同,这很有趣。

  再看一个引自OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNER’S DICTIONARY的例子:

  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.

  不难发现,Compare 翻译为“ 与…相比”而contrast可译为“明显不同的是…”,切记这种翻译方式就不会用错彼此了。

  二、介词使用错误

  1、普通介词的误用

  一般表现为固定搭配错误,如常把 provide sb with sth用成provide sb sth; be satisfied with用成be satisfied for等等,虽然这样的错误看似无伤大雅,但在考官眼里就是影响顺畅阅读的,当然会影响最终成绩。解决的办法简单而古老:把常见的固定搭配牢记于心,问题自然就解决了。

  2、“to”作为介词的误用

  “to”最常见的用法是以动词不定式符号的形式出现的,所以同学们也已经习惯了 “to do”的固定搭配。对于一些如walk to me,to the left等介词to表方向等常见用法一般也不会出现错误。但是对于与动词搭配的介词to就会经常犯错:

  如:

  More and more students have taken to depend on their parents to make decision for them.

  这里的 ‘take to’ means ‘to begin to do sth as a habit’ 其中 ‘to’为介词,所以后面只能接名词或相当于名词的词如动名词。所以黑体处应改为“depending on”。“take to”的另一个常用用法也需要牢记:

  He hasn’t taken to his new school. (这里‘take to’ means ‘to start liking sb or sth’)

  Prefer A to B中的 “to”也是介词,会有 prefer doing sth to doing sth/ prefer sth to sth else,小编提醒同学:“prefer to do sth rather than do sth”中的“to”可是真正的不定式符号。

  类似的常用用法请同学们牢记:

  Be used to doing

  Be accustomed to doing

  See to doing

  Adapt to doing

  Adjust to doing

  prefer doing sth to doing sth.

  等等请注意平时仔细积累。

  三、assume及claim使用不够准确

  我们知道, think, assume, claim是议论文中常用引出观点的动词。在实际作文中同学们往往认为几个词的意思是一样的,完全可以替代因此拿过来就用。甚至还有同学把 consider也拿过来与之混用。首先还是从定义来看这几个词的不同:

  Think: to have opinion or belief about sth.

  翻译为“认为”,通常接宾语从句来表达比较确定的观点。

  Assume: to think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it.

  翻译为“假设、假定”,是否有事实依据是不确定的。

  Claim: to say sth is true although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it.

  翻译为"称"用这个词意味着不赞同紧跟其后的观点所以很少用作 ‘I claim that…

  Scientist are claiming a breakthrough in the fight against cancer, but in fact, …。

  ‘It is claimed that’通常翻译成“有报道称…”。和‘it is reported that ’的区别在于后者翻译为“据报道”,往往代表着作者赞同报告的内容

  Consider: to think about sth carefully,especially in order to make a decision

  翻译为“考虑”一般不用作引出观点,看个例子:

  We are considering buying a new car.

  小编提醒您千万不要在雅思大作文的段(观点表达段)就因为用词把握不准而导致对整篇文章的低分印象。

  四、表“建议”的词汇后面忘记用虚拟从句

  这是摘自学生雅思作文中的一个病句:

  I suggest he continues his study instead of working after graduation from high school.

  ‘suggest’翻译为“建议”,所以后面的从句应该用虚拟语气,黑体部分应该改为 “(should) continue”,要牢记常见表“建议”的词汇,而且要记住这些词接从句时要用虚拟语气:

  Recommend, suggest, advise

  五、such as与for example的混用

  我们知道,在表示举例子的时候,such as 与like是完全等同的,如:Wild flowers such as/like orchids and primroses are becoming rare.

  但是同学们对于Such as、for example 的把握还是不够准确。后者接句子前者接词语表示举例子于是就有了下面的写法:

  There is a similar word in many languages,such as in French and Italian.

  这里的such as改为 for example为好,因为“in French and Italian”其实是“there is a similar word in French and Italian”的简化,所以要用 for example来引出例证。再来看几个类似的例子:

  It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects,for example physics.

年7月17雅思大作文题目

  Some people say that the main aim of advertising is to improve the sales of products that people do not really need.

  To what extent do you agree or disagree?

  范文及解析

  Introduction

  Advertising has been an integral part of our economic and social life now. However, as a powerful technique of promoting sales, it has been censured by some people for its “main aim”: to encourage shoppers to buy unnecessary goods. I tend to think that this view presents a very one-sided picture of advertising.

  【解析】

  integral part 不可或缺的部分

  censure 谴责v.

  one-sided 片面的adj.

  Body Paragraph 1

  The commentary is understandable that advertising creates unconscious desires. People holding this view may ascribe their over-consumption to advertisers’ exaggerated claims of their marketing pitches, which means advertising puts goods in a positive light, creating unrealistic expectations, all for the benefit of selling. Enticed by these messages, consumers would buy goods of little or no value to themselves on impulse, be it a new cell phone or a massage armchair.

  【解析】

  ascribe … to … 归咎于

  marketing pitch 市场营销

  entice 怂恿 v.

  on impulse 一时冲动

  Body Paragraph 2

  To persuade potential customers through evoking their psychological appeals, indeed, is one objective of advertising. However, I would argue that there is a controversy in what constitutes necessities versus non-essentials. This ambiguous notion is changing, along with the change in generations. To explain, what seems nonessential now – a massage armchair, for example – may fulfill its function years later, whereas what seems required now – a cell phone, for example – may soon lose its value if operating systems suddenly upgrade.

  【解析】

  evoke 唤醒 v.

  psychological appeals

  controversy 争议 n.

  Body Paragraph 3

  My firm conviction is that the real objective of advertising is to promote effective communication between producers and consumers. When a new product is to be introduced in the market, producers create memorable advertising campaigns that boost brans recognition, from which potential customers can be informed more about product advantages and know what suits their requirements and budget. Not only that, advertising helps maintain the demand for existing products and services.

  【解析】

  introduce 引入v.

  Conclusion

  In conclusion, I would say that the main aim of advertising is to prepare a ground for the sales of products, but we cannot affirm that the promoted goods are unnecessary.

  【解析】

  prepare a ground for 为…打基础

  affirm 断言v.
