試用籠統(tǒng)詞
英語語言中籠統(tǒng)詞有have, take 等,籠統(tǒng)詞的重要特點在于意義廣泛,搭配性強,構成詞組后可以替代眾多具體動詞。雖然不能精確表達一個動作,卻能大致表達意思。在一些具體動詞寫不出來的時候,用這些籠統(tǒng)詞取代,也能收到異曲同工的效果。
例如:我經歷了一個極其艱苦的時代。
I experienced a terrible hard time.
這一句中,experience被遺忘時,用have代替,成為:I had a terrible hard time. 其效果及表達的意義決不亞于第一句。這樣的例子還很多。如:
Do you understand my meaning, sir? = Do you take my meaning, sir?
I will preside over the meeting. = I will take the meeting.
I will subscribe to the local newspaper. = I will take the local newspaper.
They occupied the city. = They took the city.
The boy resembles his father. = The boy takes after his father.
從以上的例句不難看出,具體詞音節(jié)較多,使用頻率不高,容易遺忘,而籠統(tǒng)詞則不然。因此,在英語六級作文應試中,籠統(tǒng)詞取代具體詞,不失為一種應急良策。
