  常见写作中的错误用词整理。对于雅思写作而言,最为基本的错误往往就是雅思写作用词错误,分享给大家,希望对大家有所帮助,文中观点仅供参考。下面和澳际小编一起来看看吧:

  雅思写作用词错误一、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 primroses are becoming rare.

  但是同学们对于such as、for example 的把握还是不够准确。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。再来看几个类似的例子:

  It is possible to combine computer science with other subjects, for example physics.

  雅思写作用词错误二、assume 及claim 使用不够准确

  我们知道,think, assume, claim是议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 beli 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 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“有报道称。。。”。和“it is reported that ”的区别在于后者翻译为“据报道”,往往代表着作者赞同报告的内容。

  Consider: to think about sth carully, 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,千万不要在雅思大作文的第一段(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。

  雅思写作用词错误三、介词使用错误

  1、普通介词的误用

  一般表现为固定搭配错误,如常把provide sb with sth用成provide sb sth; be satisfied with用成be satisfied for等等,虽然这样的错误看似无伤大雅,但在考官眼里就是影响顺畅阅读的,当然会影响最终成绩。解决的办法简单而古老:把常见的固定搭配牢记于心,问题自然就解决了。

  2、 “to”作为介词的误用

  “to”最常见的用法是以动词不定式符号的形式出现的,所以同学们也已经习惯了“to do”的固定搭配。对于一些如walk to me, to the lt等介词to表方向等常见用法一般也不会出现错误。但是对于与动词搭配的介词to就会经常犯错:

  如:More and more students have taken to depend on their parents to make decision for them。

  这里的“take to“means “to begin to do sth as a habit”其中”to“为介词,所以后面只能接名词或相当于名词的词,如动名词。所以句中depend on 应改为“depending on”。“take to”的另一个常用用法也需要牢记:

  He hasn’t taken to his new school. (这里”take to” means “to start liking sb or sth”)

  Prer A to B中的“to”也是介词,会有prer doing sth to doing sth/ prer sth to sth else,另外,“prer to do sth rather than do sth”中的“to”可是真正的不定式符号。

  类似的常用用法请同学们牢记:

  Be used to doing

  Adapt to doing

  Adjust to doing

  prer doing sth. to doing sth。

  Be accustomed to doing

  See to doing 等等,请注意平时仔细积累。

  雅思写作用词错误四、表“建议”的词汇后面忘记用虚拟从句

  这是摘自学生雅思作文中的一个病句:I suggest he continues his study instead of working after graduation from high school.

  因为"suggest"翻译为“建议”,所以后面的从句应该用虚拟语气,句中“continues”部分应该改为“(should) continue”。

  在此,提醒您,一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

  雅思写作用词错误五、compare与contrast的误用

  我们先从两者的定义入手来看两者的区别。 Compare的定义为:to examine people or things to see how they are similar or different. 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:对比一下我们的情况与他们的情况会很有趣。

  后一句的翻译为:我们的情况与他们的情况有很大的不同,这很有趣。

  再看一个引自OXFORD ADBANCED LEARNER’S 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.

  不难发现,Compare翻译为“与。。。相比”而contrast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。

  以上就是雅思写作用词错误的相关介绍,希望对大家有所帮助,最后澳际小编祝大家都能考出好成绩。
