归类辨析
词的辨析还可以通过将词从微观归类到某一宏观范围,如主观、客观,或者将其特性作一分析,如表示过程还是结果等方法加以辨析。如:下列两组词:
A B
look for find
look at see
listen to hear
A组词强调动作,B组词强调结果。
例一:Emergency line operators must always calm and make sure that they get all the information they need to send help.
A. grow B. appear
C. become D. stay
答案D。stay为连系动词,有“保持”的意思,是个状态词;而grow,become也可以是连系动词,但是个“变”态的动词,表示“变得”。
例二:—— Ow! I’ve burnt myself!
—— How did you do that?
—— I ________ a hot pot.
A. touched B. kept
C. felt D. held
答案A。touch是动作动词,强调“碰”,而feel是个过程动词,强调“觉出”。
形象联想辨析
辨析词是为了掌握词的用法,方便记忆。因此,有的情况下,可以通过形象联想,加深对词的理解。如:
例一:I’m putting on weight. The doctor has warned me to _________ sugar.
A. keep up B. keep back
C. keep off D. keep away
答案C。keep off有“不接近、避免”等意思,在此题中是“不(吃、喝)”之意。keep off 的这个语义,我们还可以联想中英文标示用语。“勿踏草坪”,就是用“Keep off the grass!”来表示的。
例二:The dictionary published by Oxford University Press recently has really ______ because it is of great use to the learners of English.
A. taken away
B. taken down
C. taken off
D. taken out
答案C。take off: (产品或观念)大受欢迎、(产品销售量)急升。这个词也很容易让我们联想到飞机起飞的“take off”,从而记清词义。
总之,动词和动词短语的识记和辨析,是学习英语难点,同时也是高考的流行考点,同学们在积累词汇的时候,要用心学,用心悟,这样,在遇到动词相关的词汇问题时,才会在处理上得心应手。
