5.词语的搭配

1)动词的搭配(do 和make的搭配能力较强,要常记,记牢,记熟)

do(a job, work, shopping, cooking, reading, typing, sewing, good, wrong, damage, harm, a favor, an injury, etc.)

make(a study, an appointment, arrangements, a breakthrough, a call, a comparison, contribution, a deal, a decision, a discovery, distinctionn, a guess, preparations, a start,  a survey, an attempt, an error, a profit, a fortune, a living, one’s way, sense, point, peace, bed, coffee, a fuss, etc.)

2)名词的搭配

形容词与名词的搭配有的具有一定的文化背景,学生要注意“貌合神离”的词语。如:

lucky dog"幸运儿"; right hand"得力助手";

narrow escape"死里逃生"; dark horse"出人意料的获胜者"

3)形容词的搭配

有些形容词可以加一个形容词修饰,表示强调,使表达更加生动。常见的有:pitch dark(漆黑的), brand new (崭新的),crystal clear(水晶般的),wide open(张得大大的), fast asleep(睡得很熟的), wide awake(完全醒着的), icy cold(冰冷的), etc.

有些形容词可以和不同的介词搭配,学生应注意比较、归纳。如:

sick for "渴望"; tired from"因而疲劳"; engaged in "忙于";

sick of "厌倦"; tired of "对厌倦"; engaged to "与某人订婚"

(二)篇章技巧的运用

一个完整的语篇,一篇内容充实、结构合理、行文流畅的短文所依赖的不只是词汇和语法,更多的是篇章结构技巧。作者借助于篇章技巧成文,学生在复现作者的语言时同样可以借助篇章技巧。

1.复现

“词汇的复现”是指某一词以原词、同义词/近义词、反义词、同源词、概括词(总分关系)以及其他形式重复出现在语篇之中。词汇复现的语用意义是使得语篇中的句子相互衔接和连贯,从而构成一个完整和有机的意义整体。

eg.First of all he was a window-cleaner and in his first week he managed to ______ six windows.

A. rub         B. drop        C. break       D. clean

析:【D】同源词复现,由window-cleaner可知为clean the window.
