高一（上）美词点评 (1、2 模块)1. Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me. 该句中的enjoyable表达了作者的喜悦之情，其同义的词汇为pleasant，为何不使用pleasant而用enjoyable呢？因为enjoyable与后面的exciting，experience同为e字母开头的词汇，三个以e开头的词汇构成了英语的修辞头韵法，实乃为巧合之作,读上去在音韵上给人以美的感觉2. He also told us that the best way to earn respect of the school was to devote ourselves to study and achieve high grades.学生对devote oneself to 和achieve high grades的短语的理解并非十分深刻，两个短语把学生应努力学习才能取得良好的成绩并列在一起，实乃为异曲同工之作，如果在实际写作中加以运用，定会远远胜过work hard 或make progress。

3. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle to remember all the faces and names.不少学生喜欢用difficult一词来表明其艰难性，两词相比struggle更突出了其艰难的程度，且使个人神态跃然纸上因此在高一阶段学会遣词造句，领悟词汇的内涵意义对英语学习会起着极大的帮助4. However, it was a bit challenging for me at first, because all the homework was in English. 该句中的challenging一词用得极为贴切，其实在此句中也可以用difficult来代替，但相比之下，challenging一词更胜一筹，它既表现了其难度，又突出了作者向此挑战的心理，给人以准确又传神之感有时用该词来代替能体现高级词汇的特点5. It must have been quite a struggle for you to become used to academic life in a British school. 该句把作者在英国学校的学习生活用academic来形容，别具一格，浓笔渲染了该校的学习氛围，为典型的文雅用词。

运用得当，可为句子增辉6. He approved the idea, and two years layer I am in charge of the clubas the oldest student member. 在以往的学习中学生多喜欢用agree一词来表达“同意”或“赞成”之义，而很少使用该词来表达而使用approve既能显示个人的词汇量，同时又可以使自己的表达与众不同7. The money for dog food is gone, but Spot looks like he is starving !在表示“挨饿”或“饥饿”时，学生常用的词汇为hungry，而该词在句中呈现的只是某种状态，用is starving 的形式更形象生动，表示“饿极了”的含义，动感十足，其韵味更浓8. You don’t hate them. I can tell them we had an emergency. Then they won’t be mad any more.该句中的had an emergency化动为静，突出了情况的意外性和突发性，如果用what happened来表示父母离家后所发生的事，仅仅平淡地说明了事情的前因后果，而起不到不测之因，用此结构读之更耐人寻味。

9. How can we trust you any more? We won’t tolerate such behavior in our house! 句中的tolerate一词恰倒好处地表明了父母的态度，因为该词除了容忍痛苦、难堪的人、物和事项外，有时可用于容忍程度较轻，不一定给主语带来强烈的痛苦之义用在该句中更符合当时特定的场景10. I failed the Maths test! I’m so upset. I don’t know how to tell Mum and Dad. 该句中的upset一词表把作者忐忑不安的心理表现得入木三分该词把worried, scared, nervous等词的意义集于一体，把作者的内心感受表露无疑，换用其它词汇，定是黯然失色11. My father gets annoyed if I play foreign music. 该句中的annoyed一词把“烦恼”与“生气”集于一体，充分表明了父亲的心情如果仅用angry则不能表露父亲心烦意乱的复杂心情因此在英语学习中有时在选词时应从多层次的角度考虑，仔细揣摩，细细品味，才能领悟12. He even forbids me from chatting with my friends in the Internet café! 该句中的动词forbids可谓经典用词，既可用于forbid sb. from doing sth.又可用于forbid sb. to do sth.也可用无生物名词作为主语。

而许多学生习惯用don’t allow sb. to do sth. 的结构，如果换用该词表达也许会别有风味13. I’m trying to losing weight because I’m so ashamed of my body. 句中的ashamed一词为作者内心感受所表露的心理表现，常构成be ashamed of 的短语该词用在句中把作者的欲要通过服用减肥药的强烈愿望和盘托出，从而与整个文章的情节一脉相承14. However, sometimes I don’t feel energetic.句中的energetic为“精力充沛的”“充满活力的”，使用energetic来点明了其精神状态，用否定句的形式来表达既起到了降格陈述的功能作用又体现了高级词汇的使用如果使用陈述句be tired and weak表示服了减肥药后作者的身体状况，就会给人味感平淡15. You’re right. We shouldn’t be embarrassed about our weight. I think you look great as you are, and you ‘re a wonderful person.该句中的embarrassed一词既表现了个人的窘迫又把尴尬的神情表露无疑。

使用其它其它词汇很难表现出其内在的涵义，该词把个人心理局促不安的神态跃然纸上学习时留神这些能反映人特定心理词汇的使用，对于刻画人物形象大有益处16. Instead, I prefer to exercise at home, and it seems that I am always going on a diet.句中的prefer一词甚为恰当，因为从文章的上文中可以看出，作者不愿意去健身房锻炼，更宁愿在家通过节食的方式进行换用like则脱离了上下文的关系使用该词有两者取舍之意，恰如其分地表达了其心理感受17. Walking and riding your bike count, and so do school sports. 该句中的count为绝妙用词，其言简意赅，含义深刻，常为一般学生所忽视该词在英语中含有“有重要性”“有价值”的意思，在该句中特别地贴切如换成普通用词are very important会显得平淡无味，不能给人以清新之感18. As a matter of fact, loss of sleep can make you look tired, and even cause you to gain weight. 增加体重可以使用put on weight的短语，但作者别出心裁，换用了gain一词，巧妙地表达了此义，体现了惜墨如金的特点。

既简洁又合意，实为佳词美词的巧用19. She assumed that Kelly was having a bad dream, and sent her back to bed. 句中的assumed 一词学生在平时的学习中使用频率较低，该词往往意味着把一件尚未证实或尚存在意见分歧的事作为自己论断的基础，语气比suppose强该词用在文中更符合当时特定的情境20. So, while we have not dismissed the idea, we are looking into other possibilities as well. 该句中的dismiss是个含义较多的动词，如果运用得当，实为精彩之词在该句中意为“打消想法”因此在学习中应认真思索文章中所选定的动词，细细品味其妙用，才能真正领悟其精髓之魂21. It could have made its way to other parts of the world and lived on until today.句中的短语made its way多指在雪地或泥泞的道路上行走，文章用此短语把野人在远古时期艰难跋涉的过程活灵活现地表露出来。

如若换成具体的动词gone或 moved，其艰难的程度就无法突显出来, 因而味感程度会大为逊色22. We are going to visit so many exciting places and do a lot of extraordinary things. 该句中的extraordinary给人以无限的想象空间，何为extraordinary，其英文释义为“not usual”, extraordinary所包含的意义深刻，它不仅指“独特”之意，而且还有“不两寻常”、“非凡的”的意思，其语气绝非astonishing或unusual所能比，因而更胜一筹23. Take a night train to Fenghuang to view a traditional way of life. 该句中的view在学生的印象中为“风景”，“景色”之义，但在此句中则化为动词，起到一语双关的功能作用既突出了景色之美，又让人饱览了传统生活方式，换用其它动词see或 watch ，都不能达到该词所特定的内涵，可谓精巧之作24. Three mountains, Meili, Baimang and Haba, which are covered with snow, tower over the land.该句中的tower原为名词“塔”，此处转为动词，与over连用，喻为“拔地而起”。

把山的雄浑、高耸表露得恰倒好处，其美感也就应运而生若用其它词汇就会显得相形见绌25. Their snowy mountaintops form a beautiful picyure that will leave you at a loss for words. 该句的精彩之处在于句子的后半部leave you at a loss for words. 让人为之叹服，它把游客的赞美之情和惊谔之情恰倒好处地表现出来at a loss for words所表达的是此时无声胜有声的味感，换用它词，其味难以溢出 26. Sheep, catt。
