小作文中比较会集的错在“比较与比照”搞不清楚,所以出现 ‘compare’与 ‘contrast’ 的运用错误,辛达雅思为咱们详细说一下。


一、compare与contrast的误用

咱们先从两者的界说下手来看两者的差异。Compare的界说为:to examine people or things to see how they are similar or different. Contrast的界说为:to compare two or more things to show the difference between them. 由界说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:比照一下咱们的状况与他们的状况会很风趣。

后一句的翻译为:咱们的状况与他们的状况有很大的不同,这很风趣。

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“显着不同的是。。。”,切记这种翻译方法就不会用错互相了。

二、介词运用过错

1、普通介词的误用

一般表现为固定调配过错,如常把provide sb with sth用成provide sb sth; be satisfied with用成be satisfied for等等,尽管这样的过错看似无伤大雅,但在考官眼里便是影响顺利阅读的,当然会影响最终成绩。解决的方法简略而陈旧:把常见的固定调配紧记于心,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方式出现的,所以同学们也已经习惯了 “to do”的固定调配。关于一些如walk to me, to the left等介词to表方向等常见用法一般也不会出现过错。但是关于与动词调配的介词to就会常常犯错:

如:

More and more students have taken to depend on their parents to make decision for them.

这儿的 ‘take to’ means ‘to begin to do sth as a habit’ 其中 ‘to’为介词,所以后边只能接名词或相当于名词的词,如动名词。所以黑体处应改为“depending on”。“take to”的另一个常用用法也需求紧记:

He hasn’t taken to his new school. (这儿‘take to’ means ‘to start liking sb or sth’)

Prefer A to B中的 “to”也是介词,会有 prefer doing sth to doing sth/ prefer sth to sth else, 这儿提醒您,“prefer to do sth rather than do sth”中的“to”可是真实的不定式符号。

类似的常用用法请同学们紧记:

Be used to doing

Be accustomed to doing

See to doing

Adapt to doing

Adjust to doing

prefer doing sth. to doing sth.

等等,请注意平常细心堆集。这便是辛达雅思为大家带来的雅思小作文常见错词,大家一定要留神哟。
