1、 你可能喜欢这些词,但是前言:同学们的雅思习作里,在用词上体现出了很多个人偏好。学以致用是好事,但恰用其所,才体现了一个词的真正含义。就像老外学中文,如果学了几个汉字,却用词不当,相信也是要闹大笑话的。今天葡萄只讲 3 个抽象名词(可以说是同学们作文里高频率出现的) ,目的是让你更“懂”他们,能够更地道去使用!1.phenomenon释义 1:something that exists and can be seen, felt, tasted, etc., especially something unusual or interestingGravity is a natural phen
2、omenon.Theres evidence to suggest that child abuse is not just a recent phenomenon.释义 2:someone or something that is extremely successful, often because of special qualities or abilitiesThe Beatles were a phenomenon - nobody had heard anything like them before.同学惯用:There exists a phenomenon today th
3、at.The phenomenon that.建议:直接描述现象内容更好,突出议题的关键词,不要绕圈子。例子:题目Recently, crimes committed by young people are increasing in major cities throughout the world.

4、 many countries. I believe that there are reasons from family, school and the society.

7、t healthy enough for hard physical exercise, as a result of not taking part in sport or other physical activities此外,condition 具有动词词性,同学们不妨去权威词典中翻阅一下。同学惯用:The chart illustrates the conditions of men and women who held different levels of post-school qualifications in a country in the year 1999.有没有发现,
8、跟之前的例句相比,这个同学 condition 的用法,有点不一样呢?用得笼统而不明确,实际上并无多大意义。建议:模仿权威例句,把它放到具体情境中,让人知道你描述的是何种 condition。不要随便一放,造成错误。3.situation释义 1:the set of things that are happening and the conditions that exist at a particular time and placethe economic/political situationHer news put me in a difficult situation.“Would
9、 you get involved in a fight?“ “It would depend on the situation.“Few journalists have managed to convey the full horror of the situation.释义 2:the position of something, especially a town, building, etc.The houses situation in the river valley is perfect.同学惯用:There is a situation nowadays that.The situation that.attracts wide attention from people.建议:尝试和形容词搭配使用,而不作为抽象名词直接放句子前面;更适用口语。小结:中国人会话中经常笼统地说“这种现象” “条件” “情况” ,英文中确实有意义对等的单词,但是使用上更加严谨,往往不是单独抽象使用的,而有具体语境,在句子结构上也有差异。原文作者:晟睿教育-方鲁娜老师
