请别在托福备考之路上越走越错!摒弃模板,拥抱真实。

2016-11-17 Tony Tian NativeStudy


你打开百度,输入“托福作文模板”,会跳出180万个结果。但你指望从这一大堆的模板中获取一个好分数,你错了。从你打开百度的那一刻起,你就错了。


托福考试的本质是测试英语能力,非英语母语人士的英语能力,分数只是能力的表象。如果抛弃本源,而刻意追逐表象,只会越做越错。


托福作文的给分已越来越严苛,拿高分要从语法、结构、用词、逻辑等多方位把控。丢掉模板,重视真正的学习方法才是正途。通过Tony老师所教授的满分句子仿写方法,将好词佳句转化为自己的语料库,写作时,遇题而化,直抒胸臆,这才是能力的真实提升。

▼一起跟着我练一遍


Step 1:

看中文句,口译成英文,并将口译的内容重新笔译到纸上


近些年随着信息技术的飞速发展,大量的信息可以通过计算机和互联网轻易并且即时地获得。


学生口译:

These years, with the fast development of technology, a great amount of information can be easily gotten in time by computer and internet.


Step 2:

读英文原句,对比翻译之间的差异


英文原句:

With the exponential leaps of the information technology in the recent years, massive amount of information can be easily and instantaneously obtained through computers and the Internet.


我的差距:

These years, with the fast development of technology, a great amount of informationcan be easily gotten in time by computer and internet.


Step 3:

积累好的单词、短语、语块、句型


These years -> in the recent years

the fast development of -> the exponential leaps of the information

a great amount of -> massive

in time -> instantaneously

get by -> obtain through


Step 4:

重新口译本句


  • with the exponential leaps 

  • of the information technology

  • in the recent years

  • massive amount of information

  • can be easily and instantaneously obtained

  • through computers and the Internet


近些年随着信息技术的飞速发展,大量的信息可以通过计算机和互联网轻易并且即时地获得。


反复以上步骤,直到自然地口译出正确的原句版本(清楚地表达本意):

With the exponential leaps of the information technology in the recent years, massive amount of information can be easily and instantaneously obtained through computers and the Internet.


 简要解析:


  • “近些年”可以用these years,但是in the recent years也要会用。表示时间的副词需要大家尽可能多地积累,很多时候,寻找规律不如直接积累高效。


  • Exponential leap 是非常好的“具象”表达,用“指数级的”代替“飞速”,用“跨越”代替“发展”,是优秀的替换策略。


  • A great amount of可以替换成massive amount of。massive作为great有益的替换,可以学习。


  • Instantaneously的记忆方法:可以用instant来记。


  • 可以多积累表示“获得”的单词:这里的obtain替换get就是一例。


  • Internet前面要加the。



以下内容欢迎同学们自行练习,注意务必:


1. 不要直接看答案,需要自己思考的过程和对比改错,才能修正自己的表达,更加印象深刻。

2. 同一句句子,务必注意多次反复去练习才会更加有效。简单的背诵,而不试图去体会表达的含义,是很低效的学习哦。
