一.表主动和被动的不同。

有些由动词词根派生而来的形容词与该形容词所修饰的词之间存在这逻辑上的主动或被动关系,其中以-able,-ible,和-ed后缀结尾的形容词往往含有被动意味,而以-ful,-ous,或-tive结尾的往往含有主动意味。

Respective表示“各自的,分别的”的意思。

Go to your respective places.各就各位。

托福考试中容易用混的词(2)

托福考试中容易用混的词(2)

托福考试中容易用混的词(2)2015年托福考试中容易用混的词Mr. Smith is a lawyer, but Mr. Thompson is not my attorney.counsel是指给当事人出主意并代当事人在法庭说话的法律顾问或辩护律师,在法庭上,法官称呼参与审讯的律师也用counsel。

由于lawyer一词使用太多,加上西方社会对律师时有讥讽和诽闻,这个词多少带有贬义,因此律师一般自称attorney。

实际上这三个词经常可以互换。

avenge, revengeavenge更多地含有“伸张正义”的意义revenge侧重“报复”用avenge时,主语往往不是受害者;受害者或具体事件作为avenge的宾语。

revenge,主语通常是受害者本人,因此后可接反身代词,He revenged himself.banquet, feast从词源上看,banquet原意是bench(长凳),古时西方人同坐在长凳上吃喝就是“宴会”了,出席者一般有一定的身份,因而banquet带有正式和庄重的意味。

因此banquet多用于宴请外国首脑或较正式的公务、商务宴请。

feast则用于娱乐性的宴请,或家宴。

base, basis, foundationbase做名词时意为“底部”、“底座”等,多用于具体事物。

basis一般用于抽象事物。

base也可用于抽象事物,如:the base of a theory(理论基础),这时它和basis区别不大,然而basis在现代英语中用得越来越广泛。

尤以on a .. basis为甚:on a countract basis (合同制)foundation指具体事物时和base相似,但一般指高大建筑物的'基础;用于指抽象事物时与basis相似。

无论指哪一种,foundation 均给人以坚实和牢固的感觉。

bona fide, bona fidesbona fide: adv. adj. in good faithbona-fide enquiries 诚意的询问bona fides: n. good faithHis bona fides is beyond dou我是远方的一颗尘埃capital ,capitolcapital: the seat of government 首都、首府capitol: the buliding in which the government sits 政府大楼the Capitol --- 美国国会大厦chef , cookchef 来自法语,似乎身价更高一些,多指大酒楼的厨师cook 源于古英语,多指一般的厨师或炊事人员childish , childlikechildish 孩子气的,指孩子不如人意的地方,如不懂事、幼稚、傻气等,带有贬义childlike 孩子般的,多指孩子讨人喜欢的方面,如天真、纯洁、真诚等company , firm根据英美企业法,firm只是指partnership(合伙公司)或unincorporatedbusiness(非责任有限公司),company则可指corporation(责任有限公司)。

雅思阅读易混淆词汇解析

雅思阅读易混淆词汇解析

最权威的国际教育服务平台资料来源:教育优选 /雅思阅读易混淆词汇解析词义辨析——obviously, apparently, evidentlyobvious, apparent, evident 三个词都是“明显的”,而一旦变成副词obviously, apprently, evidently 区别就很大了,要谨慎使用。

Obviously ——used to mean that a fact can easily be noticed orunderstood.Apparently ——①used to say that you have heard that something is true, although you are not completely sure about it ② according to the way someone looks or a situation appears, although you cannot be sure.Evidently ——(slightly formal)used to say that something is true because you can see that it is true.从上面可以看出,Obviously 是依然是最地道的“明显”,跟形容词形式意思一样,evidently 虽然也是这个意思,但《剑桥高级学习者词典》指出此词略微正式,与obvious 相比,’it is usually better to choose the word obvious’,因此副词也比较正式。

最麻烦的要数apparently ,已经跟apparent 有较大区别了,里面包含着’you cannot be sure’的意思,所以中文的正确意思应该是“看似,据说”,这一点就连我认为国内最棒的英汉词典——陆谷孙老先生编的《英汉大辞典》里也找不到的。

TOEFL写作考试中容易误用的词汇

TOEFL写作考试中容易误用的词汇

TOEFL写作考试中容易误用的词汇摘要:下面介绍的是TOEFL写作考试中容易误用的词汇,看你有没有用错过?希望对大家备考托福考试有所帮助。

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。

托福写作中容易混淆的词汇

托福写作中容易混淆的词汇

托福写作中容易混淆的词汇容易混淆的词汇考生因为对形似、意近的词辨别不清,不知道他们各自的具体用法,而在托福写作中出现失误。

比如,有的词虽然意思相同,但他们表达同一个意思的水准是不同的;有的英语单词的汉语意思相同,但他们所限定修饰的词、使用的范围或者连接的成分是不同的;有的单词的文体风格不同,有正式和非正式之分。

要注意自己写文章的总体风格,在正式文体中避免使用非正式的语言。

鉴于选词的难度,考生应在平时注意多查词典,注意其中所举得例句,在看英语材料时留心写作词汇的具体使用环境,并摘录一些自己能看明白但说不出的表达。

1、Original: Bill Gates gives a definite answer that college education does count.Revised: Bill Gates gave a definitive answer: college education does count.Definite意思是“明确的”、“一定的”,指意思明确,不会误解;definitive也是“明确”的意思,但往往指“性、最后决定的”。

此话出自比尔·盖茨之口,体现性,故将definite改为definitive。

2、Original:…people may attend a university or college for various reasons...Revised:…people attend university or college for a multitude of reasons...此处将various改为短语a multitude of更为正式,体现人们读大学的原因很多。

3、Original: The kinds of education that we got onschool are formal and intense ones...Revised: The kinds of education that we receive atschool is formal and of tentimes very intense.不必用kinds of education,直接用education(教育)即可;“受教育”不同get,改为receive;“在学校”不必用at school;把one去掉,用oftentimes very intense指出学校教育常常是非常严格的。

托福考试中容易用混的词

托福考试中容易用混的词

托福考试中容易用混的词2015年托福考试中容易用混的词incredible, incredulousincredible: “无法相信的”、“难以置信的”、转义为“奇妙的”incredulous: “不相信的”、“怀疑的”alibi, excuseexcuse和alibi都有“借口”的意思。

excuse含有承认自己不对的意味,只是想找一理由借以避免或减轻责任。

alibi基本上是法律用语,指受指控的案件发生时,不在现场。

alibi在口语中可作excuse(借口)用,但这类借口往往是杜撰的。

alien, foreigner两个词都是“外国人”,但感情色彩不同。

foreigner用得比较普遍,多少带有友好的意味。

alien可作为法律用语,语气较冷峻。

allege, assert这两个词都有“宣称”的意思allege并没有让人信服的证据,因而语气较弱assert比较有根据,因而语气较强allow for, allow ofAllow for: “将。

考虑在内”Allow of: “容许”allude, referrefer (to) 用于直接提起人或事情allude (to) 用于暗指或不直接地指人或事情His leader alluded to financial difficulties, which, as a matter of pride, choicee wanted to conceal and would not refer to directly.alternate, alternativealternate: “交替的”、“轮流的”alternative: “另外可供选择的”已经有了用alternate来代替alternative的倾向。

英文报刊常提到用alternate fuels(其他燃料)来代替gasoline(汽油);飞行员遇到恶劣天气无法降落时会提到alternate landing field(另择降落机场),后者显然不是指飞行员准备施展飞行技术,轮番在不同飞行跑道尝试降落。
