5、erent. 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：对比一下我们的状况与他们的状况会很好玩。 后一句的翻译为：我们的状况与他们的状况有很大的不同,这很好玩。

6、 再看一个引自OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNERS 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. 不难发觉,Compare翻译为“与。相比”而co

7、ntrast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。 2.assume及claim运用不够精确 我们知道, think, assume, claim是争论文中常用引出观点的动词。在实际作文中,同学们往往认为几个词的意思是一样的,完全可以代换,所以拿过来就用。甚至还有同学把consider也拿过来与之混用。我们首先还是从定义来看这几个词的不同： Think：to have opinion or belief about sth. 翻译为“认为”,通常接宾语从句来表达比较确定的观点。 Assume：to think or accept that sth is true but

8、without having proof of it. 翻译为“假设、假定”,是否有事实依据是不确定的。 Claim：to say sth is true although it has not been proved and other people may not believe it. 翻译为“声称”,用这个词往往意味着不赞同紧跟其后的观点,所以很少用作I claim that Scientist are claiming a breakthrough in the fight against cancer, but in fact,。 所以It is claimed that通常翻译为

9、“有报道称。”。和it is reported that的区分在于后者翻译为“据报道”,往往代表着作者赞同报告的内容, Consider：to think about sth carefully, especially in order to make a decision 翻译为“考虑”,一般不用作引出观点,看个例子： We are considering buying a new car. 所以,千万不要在托福写作的第一段(观点表达段)就因为用词把握不准而导致对整篇文章的低分印象。 3.表“建议”的词汇后面遗忘用虚拟从句 这是摘自学生托福作文中的一个病句： I suggest he con

10、tinues his study instead of working after graduation from high school. 因为suggest翻译为“建议”,所以后面的从句应当用虚拟语气,黑体部分应当改为“(should) continue” 所以考生肯定要牢记以下常见表“建议”的词汇,而且要记住这些词接从句时要用虚拟语气： Recommend, suggest, advise 4.such as与for example的混用 我们知道,在表示举例子的时候,such as与like是完全等同的,如：Wild flowers such as/like orchids and p

11、rimroses are becoming rare. 但是同学们对于Such as、for example的把握还是不够精确。我们都知道,后者接句子前者接词语表示举例子。于是就有了下面的写法： There is a similar word in many languages, such as in French and Italian. 这里的such as改为for example为好,因为“in French and Italian”其实是“there is a similar word in French and Italian”的简化,所以要用for example来引出例证。再来

12、看几个类似的例子： It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects, for example physics. 托福考试作文独立写作范文：中学生应当在上高校前花时间工作旅行吗 Students should spend at least one year working or travelling before they go to the university. 【题目大意】： 中学生是否应当在上高校之前拿出至少一年去工作或旅行。主观点可以同意，因为一让学生放松，二可以让学生学到新的技能。 题目：Do you ag

16、rests have been deprived relentlessly, which has proven to be a detriment of their growth. Instead of pursuing their bachelor degree without pause in the college, traveling can help them regain chances to cultivate and perfect their personalities and release pressure. For instance, many more college

17、 graduates are reported to be indifferent to the society and show no mercy on those in need, part of which owes a lot to the fact that schools lay more emphasis on cultivating students academic abilities and downplay the importance of developing their overall qualities. Traveling to those places in

26、igh school and college, has become a trend among many American and European students theses years. As the popularity of gap year has grown, so to has its appeal.

27、 projects) or unconstructed (travelling, figuring out what to do as it comes). The idea of gap year has been strongly questioned by some nervous parents, however, some supporters contend that it will be a lifelong treasure which enables one to have the full command of his life. From my perspective,

28、taking a year to work or travel before college brings about more advantages than shortcomings. To begin with, a gap year helps guide students future education and life goals. Most of young students do not know exactly what they wanted to do once they left high school or even half way through college

29、. Working or travelling a year will give them some “real world experience” as well as insight into their interests and strengths which will help them shape a path to a successful career.

35、 skills. During the gap year, there will be less chances for them to participate in actual classes in college. Without attending lectures given by famous professor and communicating face-to-face with classmates, the whole learning process will be incomplete. Many of study skills could not be develop

When

39、it comes to the pros and cons of spending at least one year working or travelling before attending university, people preference may vary from one to another. As for me, it is advisable for high schoolers to have a year off to work or travel, in order to relax themselves and gain new skills. In the

41、s the vent for releasing all the tensions and pressures accuring in the rapid rhythm campus life.
