填空常见转折误区:
简短总结: 当一个句子中,有多个转折词时,一般只会有一次转折(从句 与 主句 相反,多余的转折词忽略)
遇到 A,... is surprising 则 ... 内容与 A 对立。(遇到surprising / surprisingly / remarkable, 则相当于出现转折) 当surprisingly前已经有转折词时,surprisingly xxx 意味着 xxx is strongly supported.
遇到 A,... is surprising only to B 则 ... 内容与 A 相同,... 与B取反 ( only当作对立词,在only从句中的并列部分,看成同向 )
遇到 。。。:even 。。。 冒号两侧趋同,even表“甚至”
A until B, 单独使用时,可当作before。 A与B时间上会有对比关系,A、B间可能会有转折(如 城堡坚不可摧,直到US毫不费力的拿下它前)
sharp juxtaposition 看到此,则前后形成对比
seemingly ... 表面上看起来是...(实际与此相反) e.g: seemingly innocuous clouds = bad weather
as A as B 通常 A = B (e.g: not as uncanny as he led the public to believe)
while not ... , nevertheless ... 两者递进关系
so ... vs more ... : so 表负向, more 与当前形容词同向(so familiar != more familiar)
even :不表示让步时, 会表递进, 即比前面的描述更进一步(√ reduce, even preclude; X reduce, even diminish)
so ... that ... : 非常。。。所以。。。(有因果关系)
nevertheless = nonetheless
1. 如果前面有转折词,如even though,however, surprisingly等,则该词可忽略
2. 如果单独出现,表转折
and 连接两个动词 = 因果关系 = 等价 = so
albeit = although = though
in attempting to A, only B —— A与B 反向
表否定的词:
no = not = hardly = little = few = rarely = seldom = anything but
X , not because A, but B 其中X与A同向,B与A对立,但X与B不一定相反,B会变相支持X。 ( 民众支持焚化,不是因为他们支持焚化,而是因为他们不愿意减少土地资源 )
阅读注意点:
While/Though Observation, Assertion
一般让步从句,描述的为基本事实,而后面的主句 很可能是 作者的主观评价,因此主句需特别注意。
倒装:虚拟语气- 只有从句才倒装(看到倒装,看成从句)
各类态度:
indifferent 漠不关心的
perplexed 困惑的
pretentious 炫耀的,自命不凡的
insincere 虚伪的,不诚恳的
apprehensive 担心的
qualified disagreement 有保留的反对
unquestioning approval 完全赞成
strong disparagement 非常贬低
euphoric 狂喜的
enthusiastic 热心支持的
concerned 担心的
critical 批评的
disputatious 好争论的
pedestrian 缺乏想象的
clear-cut disagreement 明确的分歧
