还在因为写作文说口语,无话可说而发愁吗?想不想用精彩的一句话,代替出你那一长串英文句子?本期不仅介绍英文名言,还与托福写作题目挂钩哟!不可错过,快快收藏吧! 【高能预警,下面即将出现重点!】
小编为大家精心挑选了各种托福口语、写作的题目,并翻译成了中文,提供了参考思路,还做了知识点补充。
1.To be both a speaker of words and a doer of deeds. 既当演说家,又做实干家
(1)doer “实干家”= someone who does things instead of just thinking or talking about them
(2)与doer-“实干家”相对的是talker/ a speaker of words-“演说家”/dreamer “空想家”
(3)请注意:“空想家”可不是“thinker”哦!thinker是“思想家”的意思! = someone who thinks carefully about important subjects such as science or philosophy, especially someone who is famous for thinking of new ideas: 比如Schopenhauer(哲学家叔本华)
(4)deed /di:d/发音上要和did/did/相区别,这里是长元音。这个词的意思是“行为” = 【formal,正式的说法,适合用在写作之中】 something someone does, especially something that is very good or very bad.【既可以指做好事的行为,也可以指做坏事的行为】
Question:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Communication skill is the most important element in a successful leadership.
沟通技巧对于一位成功的领导者来说是最重要的。【原题,用这句话无法反驳。因为“也重要”“同样的重要”不能用来反驳“最重要”。】
2.There is no royal road to learning.求知无坦途
【no royal road to sth. = no shortcut 没有捷径 Learning things requires work.】
Question:
Some students prefer to have their final grades determined by many small assignments, whereas others prefer to have their final grades determined by only a few big assignments. Which do you prefer and why?
有些学生喜欢最终成绩取决于很多小作业,而另一些学生则更愿意最终成绩取决于为数不多的几次大作业,你更喜欢哪种?为什么?
【Many small assignments 因为这样可以不断巩固知识。当然,这会费一些时间和经历,但毕竟:After all, there is no royal road to learning.嘛!】
3.Doubt is the key to knowledge.怀疑是知识的钥匙
【the key to sth. 是……的钥匙,相当于“是……的秘诀”。我们也可以仿写:Doubt is the key to success. 怀疑是成功的钥匙。】
Question:
Some parents do not agree with the way teachers are teaching their children. Do you think that parents should express their disapproval to the teachers?
有些家长不同意老师教育他们孩子的方式。你认为这些家长应该把他们的不认同表达给老师吗?【agree】
4.The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.世界上对勇气的最大考验是忍受失败而不丧失信心
【on earth的意思是“在世界上”;bear动词是“忍受”,名词是“熊”; lose heart = lose confidence 丧失信心,如果失恋了很伤心可不是lose heart而是break heart】
