新東方輔導(dǎo):邪說(shuō)超高頻詞(32)

字號(hào):

老鞋再交代:
    下劃線的一定要記搭配。
    老鞋挖空心思地選擇和安排。凡出現(xiàn)的,都是要核心詞匯,黑體的尤其如此,不要只是記哪幾個(gè)詞。
    例子很多都是老鞋要說(shuō)的話,不是為例子而例子。
    沒(méi)有更新的時(shí)候,加強(qiáng)復(fù)習(xí);腦子稍微能使,會(huì)加速更新。
    advantage: 前進(jìn),取得優(yōu)勢(shì)
    Everything can be said to be a double-edged sword. In other words, they have both advantages and disadvantages. 
    什么都能說(shuō)成是一柄雙刃劍。換言之,他們都既有優(yōu)勢(shì)也有劣勢(shì)。(議論性作文中,這可是有殺傷力的講法。想一想:你竟能說(shuō)出個(gè)“雙刃劍”!那家伙!disadvantage這個(gè)詞頭dis-還記得吧?)
    Always advance, go forward, make progress, take advantage of all conditions available, and you will get advantage in the competition and take advantage of this advantage to become advanced learners.
    永遠(yuǎn)向前,向前,進(jìn)步,利用一切可以獲得的條件,你們就會(huì)在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中獲得優(yōu)勢(shì),并利用這種優(yōu)勢(shì)成為高級(jí)的學(xué)習(xí)者。(advance就會(huì)獲得advantage,就會(huì)變得advanced, 這些詞長(zhǎng)得像一起記??;take advantage of是“利用”)
    adapt,adopt:是容易,還是選擇
    背過(guò)的說(shuō):adapt是“適應(yīng)”。老鞋問(wèn)的是:適應(yīng)環(huán)境,是adapt the environment嗎?
    如果不是太naive(天真)的同志會(huì)想:老鞋這么問(wèn),肯定是別有用心。
    不錯(cuò),確實(shí)別有用心:動(dòng)賓介(不會(huì)的看“邪說(shuō)語(yǔ)法”)。
    我很快適應(yīng)了昆明的環(huán)境。
    Soon I adapted myself to the environment in Kunming.
    adapt A to B: 使A適應(yīng)B
    老鞋再次羅嗦:這一類(lèi)的詞(動(dòng)賓介),包括各種有搭配的詞,都要記住“誰(shuí)跟誰(shuí)在一起是什么意思”,而不是“誰(shuí)是什么意思”。概言之,原則上以短語(yǔ)為單位記詞匯,而不是記“單詞”。
    adapt original books of English to beginners
    為初學(xué)者改編原版書(shū)(使原版英文書(shū)適應(yīng)初學(xué)者)
    不妨follow the fashion(趕一下時(shí)髦):try to distinguish between adapt and adopt(試圖辨析一下adapt和adopt)。
    Teenagers are apt to be impulsive.
    年輕人容易沖動(dòng)。
    不錯(cuò),雖不太常用,但apt本身也是個(gè)詞,be apt to為“易于……”。
    “改編”也好,“使適應(yīng)”也罷,都是使其變?nèi)菀椎倪^(guò)程。
    I'd rather adopt a child rather than have a baby by my wife, for by adopting I have options.
    不情愿收養(yǎng)一個(gè)小孩而不是由我老婆親自生上一個(gè),因?yàn)橥ㄟ^(guò)收養(yǎng),我可以有很多選擇(自己生,確實(shí)無(wú)論質(zhì)量成色都不易退貨)。
    對(duì)的,opt=choose,就是“選擇”。adopt的核心意義在此,可進(jìn)一步體驗(yàn)。
    It is advisable to adopt good advice.
    ____好的建議是明智的。
    We should be prudent in adopting political system of industrialized countries, it is said.
    在____工業(yè)化國(guó)家的政治體制時(shí),我們宜于謹(jǐn)慎——據(jù)說(shuō)。
    死背就背死了。明白“選擇來(lái)用”,都可輕松應(yīng)對(duì)。
    采納建議、學(xué)習(xí)引入體制。
    思考:optional subjects是什么課程?optional本身能看出詞性嗎?
    You are not in a position to choose your destiny; but you are entitled to opt for your attitude: in the face of challenges, do you choose optimism or pessimism? The optimistic opt for actions while the pessimistic choose to escape.
    你無(wú)從(be in a position to do,字面上“在那個(gè)位置”,因而“可以/有條件”)選擇你的命運(yùn),但你有權(quán)(be entitled to)選擇你的態(tài)度。面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)的時(shí)候,你是選擇樂(lè)觀還是悲觀?樂(lè)觀的人(the+形容詞=一類(lèi)事物,如the rich為“富人”),悲觀的人選擇逃避。
    alternative:選擇,就是改變的空間
    I have no alternative but to push on.
    I have no choice but to push on.
    I have no others options except pushing on.
    除了一往無(wú)前,我別無(wú)選擇。
    choice應(yīng)該會(huì)了, option剛講過(guò)。alternative看來(lái)比較酷。從頭說(shuō)起。
    alter, change, modify: 三兄弟,總認(rèn)識(shí)一個(gè)吧?
    I will never alter/change/modify my plan unless it proves wrong.
    我絕不改變我的計(jì)劃,除非它是錯(cuò)的。(不準(zhǔn)辨析:辨析是變態(tài);prove是“證明”說(shuō)不通,就是系動(dòng)詞,就當(dāng)成BE)。
    The leading style has always been changed, for different leaders alternate in controlling the country.
    領(lǐng)導(dǎo)風(fēng)格一直在變,只因不同的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人輪流掌控這個(gè)國(guó)家。(“輪流”里包含著“改變”,故alternate里包含著alter)。
    Graduates are apt to alter their career plan now that they have many alternatives: find a job, apply for further study, or go abroad.
    畢業(yè)生們易于改變他們的職業(yè)規(guī)劃,因?yàn)樗麄冇泻芏噙x擇:找工作,申請(qǐng)深造,或者出國(guó)。(所謂alternative,其實(shí)就是alter的空間)
