SAT写作功力的提升是SAT考试中很重要的一个环节,想要取得SAT写作高分,我们需要及早积累地道的SAT写作词汇和句子。为了帮助大家全面提升SAT写作功力,澳际小编为大家整理了TOEFL&SAT写作中常用的经典词汇。
1. Futile
讲解:having no purpose because there is no chance of success徒劳的。例句:
It is futile to dwell on the past.总想着过去是没有用的。(注:dwell on:老是想着。It’s no use dwelling on the past.老是想着过去是没有用的。)
an utterly futile struggle for justice一场完全无望的争取正义的斗争
The president described these activities as futile.总统把这些活动形容为白费功夫。
2. Mobility
讲解:the ability to move easily from one place, social class, or job to another(住处、社会阶层、职业方面的)流动能力:
Social/geographical/career mobility社会地位/区域/职业流动性
Education was the key to upward social mobility.教育是提高社会地位的关键。
Recent years have witnessed a growing social mobility.近年来人们的社会流动性越来越大。
Limited upward mobility(=moving towards a higher social position and becoming richer) can lead to discontent among young people.如果走入社会高层的机会受限,那么会引起年轻人的不满。
注意:托福写作有一道考题:现如今人们是否不像过去那么依赖邻居了?如果回答是,那么可以用到“geographical mobility”这个原因。因为交通发达,区域流动性增强,所以邻里之间生疏。互相都不认识,不熟悉,自然也不会相互帮助了。
3. Reserved
讲解:(of a person or their character)slow or unwilling to show feelings or express opinions内向的;寡言少语的;矜持的
She is shy, reserved and timid, unsure of how to approach a person and start a conversation.她很害羞,胆小,内向,不知道如何接近别人,如何开始对话。
我们经常会在写作的时候碰到写交朋友的话题。这个时候我们可能会说某人很内向,或者某人来到一个新的环境,不知道如何接近别人,如何开始对话等等。这个时候我们就可以根据上面的句子,写成我们想写的句子。比如,大家试着翻译:她很内向,害羞,不知道如何交朋友。
4. Lose connection/contact with
讲解:与......失去联系
Many people often times lose connection/contact with their friends because they’re either busy, or just don’t value their friends enough. When you lose connection with a friend, the friendship may collapse, and when you do try to contact them again, it is hard to rire the friendship.很多人常常与朋友失去联系。要么因为他们太忙,要不因为不够重视这些友情。当你与朋友失去联系,朋友关系很有可能就结束了。当你再试着去联系朋友的时候,会发现很难再续友谊。
鉴于有关朋友的话题经常成为各大考试的考点,笔者摘取一些经典有关朋友的句子,同学们可以熟记,运用。
1)Spend time around people. Remember friends seldom come knocking on your door while you sit at home playing computer games.
2)You don’t necessarily need to have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them. In fact, some of the more rewarding friendships are between two people who don’t have much in common at all.
3)Joining a sports team. A common misconception about this is that you have to be really good at playing a particular sport in order to make friends with others on the team, but not all teams are so competitive. As long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates, joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends.
4)Volunteer.Volunteering is also a great way for people of all ages to meet others. By working together you build bonds with people, and you might meet others who have a passion for changing things in the same way you do (a common cause).
5)Make eye contact and smile. If you have an unfriendly countenance, people are less likely to be receptive to your friendship. Try not squinting, looking bored, frowning or appearing blankly deadpan, folding your arms(this practically screams don’t talk to me) or hanging our in a corner; such habits may make you look troubled or disinterested.
5. Thwart
讲解:to prevent sb from doing what they want to do阻止
例句:However, too many optional courses would thwart students’ ability to develop a single main area of expertise, with detrimental consequences to their future careers.但是,太多的选修课会阻碍学生在某一领域形成自己的专长,这样对今后的职业生涯有害。
No one can thwart his ambition.没有人能阻挠他实现雄心壮志。
6. Versatile
讲解:“多才多艺的”是我们写作经常会用到的词。Versatile就是这个意思啦。
Showing a diverse academic background, along with your career focus, demonstrates that you are versatile and enjoy learning.有职业重点,同时展现出你多样化的学术背景,可以证明你多才多艺、热爱学习。
He’s a versatile actor who has played a wide variety of parts.他是个多才多艺的演员,扮演过各种各样的角色。
7. Varied
讲解:of many different types/not staying the same, but changing often多样的;丰富的
尤其注意这句话:He led a full and varied life.他过着丰富多彩的生活。
A wide and varied selection of cheeses种类繁多的可供选购的奶酪
Varied opinions各种不同的意见
这些SAT写作词汇的例句全部选自权威词典、主流报刊杂志、名人演讲、TOEFL&SAT写作高分范文等,都是SAT写作中常用的经典词汇,语言地道实用,希望大家认真背诵,熟练使用。
