1、选用英语中最常见的单词(名词、动词、形容词和副词),基于Corpus of Contemporary American English(COCA当代美国英语语料库) 找出这些词的搭配(根据词性),然后按照频率列出每个词的1030个最高搭配及汉语翻译(有些搭配少甚至少到一两个:如动词+介词、形容词+介词),选择给出典型例句(从COCA语料库中抽取)及汉语翻译, 同时对一些适用于特定语域的搭配,词典给予标注SFMNA,分别表示口语、小说、杂志、报纸和学术性的语言。下面按词类对搭配种类进行描述:1. 在google上查找Corpus of Contemporary American English(
2、COCA当代美国英语语料库), 进入并注册,注意:注册时在用途一栏,千万不要选择commercial use。2. 下次使用时在首页右上角填入你的邮箱地址、密码,点击下面的log in, 即可使用。3. 在左边words那里打入词目,点击下面的context, 选择context后面的数字,第一个数字表示词目前面出现词的频率,如你点击它(前面出现词),就呈现该词的上下文;第二个数字表示词目后面出现词的频率。4. 常用的词性符号:名词:n; 动词:v; 形容词:j; 副词:r; 介词:p5. n表示某名词单数和复数,如book包括book 和 books.6. v表示某动词的所有形式,如talk
3、包括talk, talks; talked; talking。7. 对于多词性的词,一定要在words栏中标注:如:walk.n*表示walk作为名词;walk.v*;表示walk作为动词;well.n*;表示well作为名词;well.r*;表示well作为副词;well.j*;表示well作为形容词;1名词:(1) 形容词+名词(以名词为中心词目): harsh/intense light (1-0)(2) 动词+名词: emit/shed light (4-0)(3) 名词+动词: light glows/shines (0-4)(4) 名词+名词: a light source (0-
4、1)2动词:(5) 动词+名词(以动词为中心词目): emit gas/light (0-4)(6) 动词+副词 (以动词为中心词目): choose freely, put out a fire/statement (4-4)(7) 名词+动词(以动词为中心词目): plane crashed (4-0)(8) 动词+介词: choose between two things (0-1)3形容词:(9) 形容词+名词: candid camera (0-1)(10) 副词+形容词(以形容词为中心词目): environmentally safe (1-0)(11) 形容词+介词: safe
5、from attack (0-1)4副词(12) 副词+动词 (以副词为中心词目): stand awkwardly (4-4)(13) 副词+形容词词(以副词为中心词目): pretty good/well/soon (0-1)(14) 副词(程度副词)+副词: fairly regularly (1-0)(15) 副词+介词: well above the average (0-1)8. 有些形容词不能修饰名词,如afraid, 因此就没有形名搭配了。9. 有些动词不能带名词,如agree; aim, 因此就没有动词+名词搭配了。10. “ 副词+副词”中,第一个副词常常是程度副词,如:f
6、airly regularly。其它副词通常不修饰副词,如: environmentally 等,它们只修饰形容词。11. 对于那些有显著语域特征(语料库里用深蓝色标注的)的搭配,要标注, 共有五种:SFMNA,分别代表spoken, fiction, magazine, newspaper, academic. 如: pretty faceF12. 很多动词前的名词主要指人,属于自由搭配,所以就不要“名词+动词”搭配,如:abandon. 但有些动词前的名词比较固定,就必须要“名词+动词”搭配,如:bloom.13. 不少动词后的介词其实不依附于动词,和动词不属于同一义群,所以就不要“动词+
7、介词”搭配,如:abolish.14. 有的形容词只有“形容词+名词”的搭配,如absolute, 没有“副词+absolute”和“absolute+介词”的搭配。15. 翻译搭配和例句时,经常要回到COCA里找到原句,甚至找到原段落,以求准确(COCA里的翻译不可靠)。16. 如果context的设定在前后2个及以上,一定要把有限搭配打开看。如:abolish+noun:context 0-4. 里面发现death, education等,death这里是death penalty, education是education department,fee等。17. 例证可以是句子或短语,但必
8、须从COCA里取,目的是给搭配词使用提供一个语境,选择时要(1)有代表性;(2)尽量取短句子;(3)例证里避免有生词、人名等。(4)避免选生词的句子。18. 搭配翻译注意词目的“多种意义”,如:“absorb”有多种意思,一定要参考词目的原始意义。19. 翻译时,多使用金山词霸、百度,google搜索,词典等。如:partial birth abortion.20. evidence+动词中的动词选主动,如: indicate, show, prove 但不选found,而动词+evidence中的动词选主动, 如: find, provide, present, offer。21. You
9、look absolutely beautiful. 这里absolutely不修饰look。所以,不确定的要看原句22. 翻译搭配时,可选择项用“/”隔开,如ability measure能力量度/测量尺度。23. 翻译搭配时,不要重复词条的翻译,应该这样做:perceivedA, uncanny, cognitiveA, academicA感知, 超人的, 认知, 学术能力。24. 翻译搭配时,应在金山词霸里查“词目”的基本意思作为参考。25. 同类的搭配只需例举一两个。如:”accent”, 表示国家的accent, 例举British, American accent就够了。26. 搭
