近义实词辨析

近义实词辨析 近义词意义上的细微差别, 构词 成分——词素形成的, 分析词素 入手来辨析近义词的词义, 中不 熟悉的部分拿出来扩展为比较熟 悉的 词,然后把组好的词代入原题看是否讲得 通,即可迅速得出答案。 一、存异组词法 现代汉语中有相当一部分近义词, 它们都有 共同语素,我们在辨析这类词时,可以分两 步来进行: 1.查找异处,组成新词 这就要求我们先找出不同语素, 以这一语素 另外组词。 例 1 :对古典诗歌的学习,不仅要做到知人 论世、沿波探源,努力挖掘出诗歌的形象与 思想,还应在反复 _________________________ 的基础上领会它 们各自的艺术风格。 (吟诵 吟颂 ) “吟诵”和“吟颂”的不同语素是“诵”和 “颂”,而这两个词词义侧重点的区别也就 诵”可以理解为 “诵 往往是由不同的 所以我们应该从 将词语 在这两个相异语素 读”“朗诵”等; , a 。“ a 颂”可以组词为“颂扬”

“歌颂”等。在组词时,要尽量组与原词词 义相近的词语,组自己熟悉的词语。 2.代入原文,得出答案 选择新组定的两组词代入所给的句子, 一组中的某个词语更 适用, 1 中,将“诵 歌颂” 分别代入 “反 中会发现, 用“颂扬” 歌颂” 显然与语境不符, 而用“诵读”“朗 读”就能讲得通,所以综合考虑后,可以确 定原句中应用“吟诵”一词,而不能用“吟 颂”。 二、分解组词法 对于两个语素都不相同的近义词, 无法进行 存异组词时,就可以采用分解组词法。 1.分解原词,得出短语 先把原词分解成两个语素,再分别组词,得 到一个与原词意义相近的短语。 例 2 :勇往直前的汩汩泉水相信,在岁月的 过滤与涤荡下自己将永远一脉 ______________________ ( 轻盈 清莹 ) “轻盈”和“清莹”没有任何相同语素,这 若某 则表明带有这个 语素的词是正确答案。如在例 读”“朗读”和“颂扬 复 _________ 的基础 a

高级英语近义词辨析整理

第1 课 1.destroy一词最为常见,主要强调破坏的力度之大和彻底,一般不带感情或修辞色彩。demolish和raze通常用于巨大物体,如大型建筑物等。demolish常用引申义,指任何复合体的被毁,如demolish a theory with a few incisive comments。意即“用几句锋利的评语推翻某种理论”。而raze几乎无一例外地用于指建筑物的被毁。annihilate在这些词中所表示的损坏程度最为强烈,字面意思是“化为乌有”,但实际上往往用于指对人或物的严重损伤。如说annihilate an enemy force,是指使敌军遭到重创,不仅没有还手之力。而且没有招架之功。如说annihilate one?s opponent in a debate,是指彻底驳倒对手。 2. decay常指某物自然而然地逐渐衰败腐化。如:His teeth have begun to decay.(他的牙齿开始老化变坏。) rot指有机物质,如蔬菜等因菌毒感染而腐败变质,如:rotting apples(烂了的苹果)。 spoil用于非正式文体,常指食物变质。如:Fish spoils quickly in summer。(鱼在夏天极易变质。) molder用于指物体缓慢、逐步地腐朽。如:Old buildings molder away.(老房子渐渐腐烂了。) disintegrate意指把某物从整体变为碎片或一个个部分。如:rocks disintegrated by frost and rain(被霜和雨蚀裂成碎块的岩石)。 decompose指将物质分解为其构成成分。如:Water can be decomposed(be decomposed)into hydrogen and oxygen.(水可分解成氧和氧。)该词还可用来替代rot,使语气略显委婉。 在给出答案之前,首先将该题中的几个语法术语解释一下。 The sentence fragment:片断句。一个合乎语法的完整句子必须具有主语和谓语这两种基本成分。从结构上来说,它应该是可以独立运用的语言单位。片断句是指像短语、从句、同位语以及其他诸如此类不能够独立使用的语言单位。写作时若错误地使用标点符号.将这类不能独立使用的语法结构当成句子分列出来,那便叫做片断句,练习中的第1、第3和第4句就是这样的非完整句,即片断句。 The run-on sentence:误用逗号连接句。该断句的地方没有正确地使用标点符号断句,而将两个或两个以上结构上各自独立完整而又互不从属的句子融合在一起成为一个不合语法、结构松散的句子称融合句。如果两个完整的句子中间只用逗号隔开而被错误地并成一个句子,这种句子便叫误用逗号连接句,练习中的第2句即是。The dangling modifier:垂悬修饰语。由非谓语动词(分词、动名词、不定式)组成的短语若使用不当,与其所修饰的成分没有实质上的联系,这种结构便叫垂悬修饰语。垂悬修饰语并非语法上的错误,只是修辞上的毛病,但仍应避免使用这样的结构,尤其是不要使用那些会产生歧义、引起误解的垂悬修饰语。练习中的第5、6、7、8句均含垂悬修饰语。 The illogical or faulty parallelism:误用平行句法。误用平行句法指用平行结构来表达并非平行的思想内容。这是应该避免的修辞上的毛病。不能将which或who引导的从句用and 与主句相联。关联连词(both…and,either…or等)只能用于联接句中起同一语法作用的平行成分。练习中的第9、10、11、12句都是误用平行结构的例句。 The shift in point of view:角度转换。不必要的甚至错误的角度转换是应该避免的。若非必须如此。一般不由主动语态转换成被动语态。人称及单复数也不应随便转换。练习中的第13、14、15句都是角度转换的例子。练习中的错句可改正如下:The basketball game was canceled because half of the players were in bed with flu. These snakes are dangerous. However,most snakes are quite harmless. 3.Looking out toward the horizon,she Saw only the old cabin in which Mary was born,a single cottonwood that had escaped the drought and the apparently boundless expanse of sunburned prairie. 4.We knew that although the documents have been stolen they have not yet been seen by a foreign agent. 5.Last year,after I had graduated from high school.my father put me to work in his office. 6.To appreciate the poem,one must read it aloud. 7.1 missed that film because l had to stay home to help my mother wash clothes last Sunday. 8.Driving across the state,one saw many beautiful lakes. 9.Unselfish people are not only happier but also more successful. 1O.I finally realized that my daydreaming was not making me beautiful and slender or bringing me friends. 11.He is a man of wide experience and also of great popularity among the farmers. 12.I am interested in electronics,which is a new field and which offers interesting opportunities 10 one who knows science.
