英语作文如何选用词语
英语作文如何恰当选用词语 性。在我国，古人写文章时常为一个词语的选用具思苦想，因而有“语不惊人死不休”的说法。 成语“一字值千金”也说明了选择词语的极端重要性。有时“一字之差”造成令人遗憾的败笔，或招致成千上万损失。这些反面的教训也告诉我们必须重视词语选用的问题。 词语选择的可能性。我们每个人的脑子里都有一个词库，只要我们肯去对比发掘，往往可以得到更好的表达方式。这是我们做好词语选用的主观条件。从客观条件，我们有各种类型的词典，只要我们平时多翻译、多阅读，写作时勤查考，就会在词语选用上不断进步。当然，一部好词典也不会毫无缺点，更难以面面俱到，因此在这里我们应牢牢记住著名英国作家、评论家和辞书编纂家Johson的话：Dictionaries are like watches: the worst is better than none, and the best cannot be expected to go quite true. 词语选择的三项标准。关于择语标准，人们说法不一，但准确、鲜明、生动三项原则是公认的。当然，某词语用得是否符合要求，不可孤立地从词语本身的含义上着眼，还要看其具体使用场合，包括同其他词语搭配等。 1)择语的准确性。准确性，就是要根据使用场合选用确切的语言形式，正如有句英语俗语所言：Do not write so that your words may be undetstood, but write so that your words must be understood. 著名美国作家马克·吐温说：“用词准确与用词几乎准确，这两者之间的差异就如闪电与萤火虫之间的差异。为了择语准确，必须熟悉词语的多义性。例如depression对心理学家、经济学家或地质学家来说，含义各不相同。反之，也常常有几个词语可以表示类似的含义，如心理学上的“depression”也能用melancholia，the blues，the dismal in the dumps，low 等词语表示。要做到准确选择，有必要注意词语的两种意义：“基本意义”和"引申意义"。前者指该词语的本身，或客观的固有含义，后者指该词语在一定搭配或上下句中出现的其他意义，往往比较含蓄，带有词语使用者的主观态度或感情色彩。如inexpensive和cheap都表示便宜的基本意思，如顾客问营业员：“May I have some thing cheaper?”意思是希望要价钱便宜一点的，当然并不是说质量可以不好，但cheap在其他句式或使用场合可引出“低劣”、“平庸”、“吝啬”、等多种意思。选用词语的准确性还表现在区分表示大体/抽象含义的词语和表示具体/特定含义的词语上，需要根据不同的使用场合做出正确的选择。抽象含义词语和具体含义词语不是两个对立的家族，在一定的条件下可以转化，如：labor一词通常带抽象含义，但并非一成不变。试比较：A)Honest labor creates wealth for the society. B)In the GM contract dispute, labor seeks a five-cent per hour wage increase. 上述A句中labor一词为抽象含义，泛指各种社会劳动，B句中labor为具体含义，特指W AW，即美国汽车、飞机、农业机械工人联合会。 2)择语的鲜明度。准确性是鲜明度的前提，也是提高鲜明度的基础。然而，鲜明与简练相关。我们说话、写文章都要以“言简意赅”四字为目标，为此，应从两个方面加以注意： A．在可以运用较简短的常见词语表达意思时不要用复杂而少的词语，如：do something for （不用perform，accomplish)，用end／finish a letter (不用terminate，conclude)。 B．多余的或转弯抹角的词语都不利于明白地表达思想的词语避免使用。多从自己的所学的词汇中选用简明易懂的词汇来表达中心。 3)择语的生动感。生动感也可以叫做优美感(gracefulness)，它是建筑在准确性和鲜明度的基础上的，否则，单纯追求生动或优雅，就会出现辞藻华丽(flower 这里就作文写作给点建议。作文是要小心，按英语习惯来写句子; 认清常见错误，避免再次写错；建立错题集，不断提醒自己；多背些范文，模仿它们来写．该课通过学生错误的分类归纳，给学生以警示作用，学生能避免犯同样的错误，最后写出优美的句子。学生反映
