更新:2021年08月12日 11:54 雅思无忧

  现在很多同学都喜欢跟着抖音学英文,不过请大家一定要擦亮眼睛分辨清楚,哪些老师们值得关注啊!首先,给出的单词或搭配用法有理有据、出处靠谱,那基本都是真干货;如果随便扔个单词的意思却连个例句也没有,而且查遍全网也找不到用法的,同志们就要谨慎了!别费半天劲却学了个假英文…
雅思口语中发挥大作用的小词汇

  所谓“有理有据、出处靠谱”的内容,其实就是native speakers真正使用过的,例如在新闻报道、博客、影视作品、脱口秀、访谈等看到或听到的。而且渐渐你会发现,字典里背了那么多的单词,其实大部分都是给阅读题准备的。多多接触“靠谱input”之后你会发现,经常挂在老外嘴边的词,真是意想不到的“渺小”,你会不禁感叹“这几个词放在一起,原来还可以这么用!”

  下面我们就来看看,雅思口语中发挥大作用的小词汇吧。

  1. do something to death

  不要按照字面意思理解成“做什么做到死”,其实它是指to do or perform something so often that people become tired of seeing or hearing it. 就是“见多了所以腻歪了”,例如:

  That joke’s been done to death.那个笑话已经听腻了。

  还有一个跟它差不多意思的用法:get old (to be annoying or boring due to repetition)

  雅思口语里经常被问到喜欢的电影或者歌曲,我们就可以用这两个短语来表达自己对某个作品的喜爱:

  Titanic is my all-time favorite movie. Many people may think it’s been done to death, but I could watch it over and over again, I mean, it never gets old for me. (I will never get tired or bored of this movie.)

  泰坦尼克号是我一直以来最喜欢的电影。很多人可能认为已经看够它了,但我可以一遍又一遍地看它,我的意思是,它对我来说永远不会变老。我永远不会对这部电影感到厌倦或厌烦)。

  2. get out of

  看到这个短语的第一反应是不是仿佛看到对方凶狠狠的指着门让你“滚出去!”其实除了get out of here之外,它有如下两个常见用法:

  第一,指“逃避责任或义务”(to avoid a responsibility or duty),例如:

  We promised we’d go—we can’t get out of it now.

  I wish I could get out of going to that meeting.

  第二,指“摆脱某种习惯”(to stop having a particular habit, to break the habit),例如:

  I can’t get out of the habit of waking at six in the morning.

  考试时候如果聊到自己不喜欢做作业,用I wish I could get out of doing my homework.听起来就比I don’t like to do my homework.高级很多!(而且还用了wish引导的虚拟语气,看着多厉害!)

  如果聊到morning routine,说起自己的作息时间,就可以把每天早上悔恨前一天又熬夜了的情绪表现的很到位:I know I should keep good hours, but I just can’t get out of the habit of staying up late.

  3. be cut out for something

  这个短语的意思是to have the qualities and abilities needed for something. 为了帮助记忆,我们可以想象一下咱们女娲造人时候的场景,用小刀cut造型来赋予小泥人各种技能(纯属虚构)。例如:

  He’s not cut out for teaching.

  He’s not cut out to be a teacher.

  他不是当老师的料。

  考试时候如果被问到职业或能力方面的话题,我们可以套用哦,例如:

  I’m thinking about changing my career path, coz I don’t think I’m cut out to be a XX. I mean, I don’t have what it takes to be a qualified XX.

  4. stand up for

  这个短语字面意思就很好理解,为…站起来,就是“力挺”,to support or defend somebody or something. 例如:

  You must stand up for your rights.

  She had learnt to stand up for herself.

  与之类似的还有speak up for, “为...发声”, to say what you think clearly and freely, especially in order to support or defend somebody or something.

  聊到人物话题时,说起他们的quality,这个短语绝对值得一用:

  I prefer to make friends with those who can always stand up for their friends and family.

  我更喜欢和那些永远能力挺亲朋好友的人交朋友。

  5. shine

  不要看到它就只想到太阳,中文里我们说的“闪光点”就是它了!Shine可以表示to be very good at something.  

  例如:

  He failed to shine academically but he was very good at sports.

  他在学业上没有什么闪光点,但在体育方面却非常出色。

  She has set a shining example of loyal service over four decades.

  四十年来,她树立了忠诚服务的光辉榜样。

  我们在夸奖自己或别人的优点、长处的时候,用它把be good at替换下来吧!例如:

  I’m planning to find a job that’s mechanics related, coz this is where I shine.

  She was a born actor. She belongs to the stage, I mean, that’s where she shines.
