发布日期 :2017.06.27    浏览次数:2083 次


    雅思口语的评分标准中,烤鸭词汇运用的准确性和灵活性是考官非常care的一个点。

    7分的词汇评分标准是:1,能灵活地运用词汇来谈论多种话题(一词多用);2,能使用一些不常见的词语或者俗语、谚语之类的表达。

    下面我们来看一下,如何巧用look, get, make拿高分!

Look

Look back on/upon回顾,回首

Meaning: to think about something in your past 

Example: Looking back on my childhood, many silly things happened.

注:与date back to 的区别,两者都有追溯过去的意思,但是look back 偏重于个人情感,主语一般是人,date back 则是偏重于某物在过去某个时间段存在的事实,主语一般是物。

Look on… as… 看做

Meaning: to consider somebody/ something to be somebody/something.

Example: She’s looked on as the leading authority on the subject.

注:类似的表达还有很多,比如说regard…as, consider…as, take…as..等等。同学们在使用类似的表达的时候,可以考虑多变换一下。

Concentrate

Concentrate on 专心致志

Meaning: to spend more time doing one particular thing than others

Example: She gave up German in order to concentrate on her French.

注:类似的表达同学们还可以想到哪一些呢?focus on, fix one’s mind upon, put’s one’s heart into 等等都是可以的哈。

Fancy

Meaning 1: 喜欢,想要 to be attracted to somebody or want something

Example: Do you fancying going out this evening?

Meaning 2: 自我感觉良好 to think that you are very popular and attractive

Example: He started to chat to me and I could tell that he really fancied himself.

Meaning 3: 想象 to believe or image something 

Example: He fancied (that) one day he would sail to another country alone.

注:其实fancy这个词语在英剧里很常见,美剧里倒是很少。

End

end up: to find yourself in a place or situation that you did not intend or expect to be in 最终处于,最终变成

Example: I ended up doing all the work myself.

注:End是一个很灵活的动词,不仅仅在这个词本身,而是它搭配的千变万化,既可以用作动词放到很多idioms里面:end your days, end in tears等等;同时也可以用作名词,比如说,at a loose end, be at your wits’ end, make both ends meet….

Lie

Lie around 散放,闲着不干事

Meaning 1: to be left somewhere in an untidy of careless way

Example: I am kind of a cleaning freak, who never leaves any stuff lying around.

Meaning 2: to spend time doing nothing and being lazy.

Example: Not a single manager would watch his employees lying down while doing nothing.

: 这里说的lie不是说谎,而是表示平躺的那个动词,虽然长得一样,但是其实是两个动词,他们的过去式和过去分词都是不一样的。

Lie(平躺) — Lay— lain — lying; 

Lie(说谎) — lied— lied — lying.

Lie with somebody (to do something) 负责

Meaning: to be somebody’s duty or responsibility.

Example: It lies with you to accept or reject this proposal.

注:lie虽然字面表示的是平躺的动作,但是实际上可以延伸出很多意思,比如说表示不负责,不干事的时候不仅可以用上文说的lie around,也可以用lie back等等。看来外国人的思维就是:我一躺下,我就什么都不干了!

Spare

Meaning 1: 花费,给予 (时间/金钱/空间)make something such as time or money available to somebody or for something

Example: I’d love to have a break, but I can’t spare the time right now.

Meaning 2: 使某人免遭麻烦 save somebody from having to go through an unpleasant experience

Example: I could have spared myself an unnecessary trip by phoning in advance.

Meaning 3: 救命,饶命 逃过一劫 not harm/damage. 

Example: During the bombing only one house was spared.

注:spare 也有形容词形式,大家听得最多的恐怕就是spare time,表示有空。但是spare 还有一个新的,未使用的意思也比较常见,比如说,we’ve got a spare bedroom, if you’d like to stay

Get

 

Get into 打开,讨论

Meaning: to open a box, drawer or other container; to discuss something

Example: Let’s get into the reasons why we’re going to protect historic buildings.

注意:这单词虽然简单,但是在口语中出现的频率还是很高的。比较本土的用法还有享受的意思,比如说”I really get into the concert!”.

Put

Put off 推迟,延误

Meaning: to postpone something

Example: Let’s put the meeting off until next week.

注意:put off常用的是推迟和延误的意思,但是还有一个差别比较大的意思估计同学们都猜不出来,那就是招人烦,使别人不喜欢。比如说“She’s very cleaver but her manner does tend to put people off.

Make

Make up

Meaning 1 : 编造故事 invent a story

Example: I hate it when people make up excuse about being late.

Meaning 2: 重归于好 Become friends again after an argument

Example: We made it up after the game.

Meaning 3: 补偿,弥补 compensate

Example: Her intelligence makes up for her lack of experience.

Meaning 4: 组成,编写  form or compose a thing

Example: We need one more person to make up a team.

Meaning 5: 做决定Decide from a number of possibilities.

Example: It was such a life-changing decision that I couldn’t make up my mind easily.

注:make 是口语中出现频率几乎可以排在前10的一个动词了。用起来很容易陈腔滥调,所以如何懂得使用一些比较偏门的词组和表达是关键,make up 的这些意思中,总有一个是适合你的!

 

    总结的这批动词虽然说不多,但是其实却十分好用。有几个动词甚至意思跨度相当大,能够用到不同的语境和话题中。希望同学们可以熟练掌握几个哦!
