什么是真正的高阶替代?今天新航道小编要分享的是另外一个超级喜欢的呆萌的老朋友Joey。Joey主动要为Monica和Chandler夫妇recommendation letter for adoption agency 领养申请,看他闹出来的笑话是不是很像我们雅思口语中嚼文嚼字的伙伴们呢?
对话翻译参考
Hey I finished my recommendation Here 我的推荐函写好了,拿去
And I think you'll be very, very happy 我想你们会非常满意
It's the longest I ever spent on a computer without looking at porn 这是我除了看色情照片外花在电脑上最久的时间了
I don't understand 我看不懂
Some of the words a little too sophisticated for you? 有些字对你来说太难了吗?
It doesn't make any sense 这封信根本说不通啊
Well, of course it does. It's smart. I used a thesaurus 当然说的通,这封信很聪明的 我用了〝词库〞
On every word? 每个字都用吗?
Yep 对
All right, what was this sentence originally? 这一句本来是什么意思?
"They are warm, nice people with big hearts " 〝他们是最温暖 心胸最宽阔的好人〞
And that became, "They are humid, prepossessing Homo sapiens 变成〝他们是潮湿 又给人好成的人类
with full-sized aortic pumps " 有着全尺寸的大动脉〞(医学上的表达)
Yeah Yeah. And hey, I really mean it, dude 对,而且我真的这样觉得,老兄
All right, Joey, I don't think we can use this. 乔伊,我想这封信不能用
Why not? Well, because you signed it: 为什么不能?因为你的签名是
"Baby Kangaroo Tribbiani " 宝贝袋鼠崔比亚尼〞(因为有一个卡通袋鼠形象也叫Joey,所以Joey用词库查到自己的名字的“”替代了)
Why don't you stop worrying about sounding smart and just be yourself? 为什么你不能别在乎聪不聪明 当你自己就好?
You don't need a thesaurus Just write from here 你不需要字库 只要从这里写出来就好
Your full-sized aortic pump 你的全尺寸大动脉
难词并不代表好词
Joey的长难词让人啼笑皆非,晦涩难懂,虽然比较夸张,但雅思口语中很多学生会被替代所迷惑,从而走上了无人能懂的“不归路”, 回头是岸吧小伙伴们!
高阶替代只需要在个别词或者短语中有体现即可,不需要狂轰乱炸考官。
That being said(虽然说了这么多, 但是。。。)替代是要有的!他是单词评分标准中丰富度的体现,所以那些替代是高频使用并且能够highlight(高亮)我们的表达呢?
这里Cola老师分享一些常用的
表达情绪的替代表达:
I am tired.---I am beat.
I am busy.---I am tied up.
I am bored.---I am tired of…
I am happy.----I am over the moon./ on cloud nine.
I don’t feel good today.—I am under the weather today./ I am not myself today.
I don’t like him.---he gives me a headache.
I am angry.---I am really worked up now.
I can’t remember it.—It slipped my mind.
The movie is bad.---The movie is lousy.
