三、注意区分近义词
由于英语词义范畴非常广泛,即便是近义词或同义词也只是某种程度上的近似,不可能在意义上完全对等。这就需要考生在选词时斟酌其含义的微妙差别,辨析同义词在具体语境中的不同用法。
如:原句:So there arises the problem Will electronic books replace traditional books?(指“实际存在的问题”或“需要解决的现实问题”,不符合此处语境)(https://www.daowen.com)
优化:So there arises the question Will electronic books replace traditional books?(指“可获得解释或回答的问题”)
原句:After a good dinner together,all the guests relaxed and became quite careless.(指“漫不经心的,粗心的”,不符合语境)
优化:After a good dinner together,all the guests relaxed and became quite familiar.(指“随便的,熟悉的”)
