相信不少考生都堅(jiān)信托福寫(xiě)作字?jǐn)?shù)越多越好,其實(shí)不然,如果明明可以使用一個(gè)高級(jí)詞匯或者句式就能夠正確表達(dá)的話,完全不需要寫(xiě)太多不必要的文字,在此小編提醒考生托福寫(xiě)作講究煉句,精練的語(yǔ)句才是托福寫(xiě)作高分的秘密。

例如:At this point in time,we should pull together for our goal.(現(xiàn)在我們應(yīng)該為我們的目標(biāo)團(tuán)結(jié)一致)這句話中“At this point in time”表示“現(xiàn)在”,我們完全可以用now來(lái)代替。

In the majority of cases,he likes to ride bike to the office.(他通常喜歡騎單車(chē)到辦公室)。很簡(jiǎn)單的一句話,完全可以寫(xiě)成 He usually likes to ride bike to the office.

托福寫(xiě)作經(jīng)驗(yàn)提出平時(shí)我們所說(shuō)的用詞多樣化和地道并不是體現(xiàn)在這些時(shí)間副詞或者是完全可以簡(jiǎn)化的啰嗦句型上,而是指實(shí)用性極強(qiáng)的詞如動(dòng)詞和形容詞,比如:

Original:Solving trivial problems in the dorm will add your socialexperience and help you to understand other people's feelings and learn to bekind.

Revised: Solving trivial problems in the dorm will enrich your socialexperience and help you to understand other people's feelings and learn to beconsiderate.

add,kind表達(dá)的含義都比較寬泛。add可以指數(shù)量上的增加,也可以指程度的加強(qiáng),對(duì)于“豐富經(jīng)驗(yàn)、增加知識(shí)”這個(gè)意思,用enrich會(huì)使表達(dá)更準(zhǔn)確。kind從字面意義上講是“好的、善良的”,用kind來(lái)形容人無(wú)法具體地表現(xiàn)出一個(gè)人的性格特征到底怎樣,原句中是想表達(dá)“考慮周到、體貼入微”的特點(diǎn),要準(zhǔn)確表達(dá)這個(gè)含義應(yīng)選擇considerate。

另外,我們常見(jiàn)的一些累贅用詞表現(xiàn)在句意的理解上,比如:He has had many years of (actual) experience inbusiness.(他有多年經(jīng)商的經(jīng)驗(yàn))actual是多余的,因?yàn)閑xperience已經(jīng)有actual的意味了。

We assembled(together) all the parts for our radio.(我們裝好收音機(jī)的零件)assemble本身就有together的意思,因此together是多余的?!捌降认嗵幵瓌t”的意思是行文不出現(xiàn)明顯的帶歧視或偏見(jiàn)的字眼,包括男女性別,也要避免區(qū)別,以示“平等”。例如:

Many businessmen(businesswomen) feel their jobs are very stressful.(許多商人覺(jué)得工作壓力很大) 這句話寫(xiě) businessmen或是businesswomen都是不妥當(dāng)?shù)模梢愿臑?business people或business executives或business managers就可以包括男女了。
