英语复习之交际用语(五) 答题误区 选择答案的基本依据是-----达到交际最基本的要求是:委婉、有礼、得体、连贯、符合文化习惯。 在答题时, 不少考生犯的错误主要有下面四点: 1、受母语思维干扰,错误应用汉语式英语。 很多考生由于受思维定势和母语习惯的影响,在解答情景交际题时,往往不能使用地道的英语,而是按照汉语的表达方式、结构和习惯去套用英语,去选答案,结果出现汉语式英语,从而导致错误答案。 2、对英语中同义词和多义词用法模糊不清。 英语中有很多同义词、近义词,另外还有很多词具有多义性,它们在不同语境中会呈现不同的词义,而学生往往对这些词义模糊不清,做题时无从下手。如: --–Why haven’t you bought any butter? –--I _______ to,but I forgot about it. A. liked B. wished C. meant D. expected 【解析】答案为 C。 本题既考查语言运用能力,又考查词义的辨析。根据语境可知此处表示“我本来打算去……,但……”,故答案为C。like喜欢;wish愿望;expect期望,都不符合题意。 3、把握不住英语中问答的固定搭配习惯,答非所问。 英语中有很多口头习惯、对话固定搭配,需要考生了解、比较并掌握,如:对别人的感谢,一般用Not at all, You are welcome, It’s my pleasure等应答;对别人的道歉,一般用Not at all, It doesn’t matter, Don’t mention it等应答;对别人的夸赞,一般用Thank you, I’m glad to hear that. It’s very kind of you to say so等应答。 --–It’s been a wonderful evening. Thank you very much. --–________. A. My pleasure B. I’m glad to hear that C. No, thanks D. It’s OK. 【解析】答案为 A 。这是一组表达谢意的对话情景。前一句是表达谢意,英美人对别人表示谢意的话一般用My pleasure, Not at all作答。 4、弄不清题干语境,错误理解对话人意图. 许多情景交际试题都是寓语言知识考查于情景交际之中,而一些学生只从语法的角度入手,不考虑语境,不能真正把握对话双方的谈话意图,结果走入选择的误区。 - Do you think our basketball team played very well yesterday? - ____________. A. they were not nervous at all. B. They were still young C. They played naturally. D. They couldn’t have done better 【解析】答案选D。题干提供的语境:询问“你”有关我们的篮球运动员打得好的看法,真正体味对话人的意图,对“我们篮球打得好” 作出赞美,“他们打得确实好”,才能对此作出正确判断,选出答案D。
(六)答题注意事项---“四忌” 一忌上词下用: 上词下用指的是答句部分延用了题干句子的重点词、信息词,按表层意思似乎合情合理,但往往为错误的“虚像”,需经进一步分析后才能确定正确选项。典型的例子如用“I don't”应答“Don't forget to come to my birthday party tomorrow”,用“Don't be sorry”回答“I'm sorry I broke your mirror”,以及用“No thanks”回答“Thank you ever so much for the book you sent me.” 避免“上词下用”的误区,一是确认题目涉及的交际功能项目,二是确认句子上下文语境,三是确认正确的话语方式。 —I wonder if I could use your telephone. —________. A.I wonder how B. I don’t wonder C. Sorry,it's out of order D. No wonder, here it is 尽管该题中反复出现“wonder”一词,但通过仔细审题可确定其考查的功能项目为征求对方意见,问句相当于“Could I use your telephone?”综合语境和话题的分析,正确的答话方式一般为“Of course you can”(肯定)或“Sorry, you can’t”(否定),也只有C项符合题意,A、B、D项均属典型的“上词下用”现象,而且D项中的“No wonder”意思为“难怪 ”,更是和题干内容相差甚远。
二忌中文思维: 与上词下用比较,这一误区更具迷惑力,因为无论按题目内容或是按思维方式来考虑,都非常符合中国学生的习惯。显然,掌握英汉两种语言和文化之间的相同和相异之处,对于准确解题至关重要。学生解题失误之一是按汉语的表达方式和结构去套英语,去选答案,这属于语言知识的“负迁移”。 —Do you think it’s going to rain over the weekend? —________. A. I don’t believe B. I don’t believe it C. I believe not so D. I believe not 以Do you think…? 这样的句子来提问,用D项来回答表示否定,显然不符合中文的表达习惯,这也正是许多学生选了A、B、C项的原因。另一个更常见的失误是套用中国文化模式。违背英语国家的思维方式和文化习俗,这属于文化方面的“负迁移”。此类例子有: 1.—I'd like to invite you to dinner tomorrow.—Oh, no. That'll be too much trouble. (正确答话为:I'm very sorry, but…) 2.—Thank you ever so much for the book you sent me. —Please don't say so. (正确答话:I'm glad you like it.) 3.—Hi, haven't seen you for ages! You look fine! —Oh, no. (正确答话为:Thanks. You look well, too). 三忌直接回绝: 这主要是指在对方要求得到帮助,提出请求或邀请时,回答过于直接,不够委婉,尽管从语义角度分析是没毛病的,但不符合英语国家的交际习惯。“请求”方面的问话有May I…?/Can I…?/I wonder if I could…/Do you mind if I…?等,“邀请”方面的问话有Will you…?/Would you like to…?/I'd like to invite to…等。在作否定回答时,为了表示礼貌和委婉,通常要用一些委婉词,如but, I'm afraid, I'm sorry, thanks, please, had better等。 —I didn’t know this was a one-way street, officer. —________ A. That’s all right. B.I don’t believe you. C. How dare you say that? D. Sorry, but that’s no excuse. 许多考生可能选了B、C项,这是没有注意到西方人生活、工作中交往的必要礼节,答话时过于生硬,没有顾及他人感情,而正确答案D项正是在充分考虑到说话双方的身份,彼此之间的关系以及说话人的立场和态度的基础上做出的选择。 四忌答非所问: 应该说答非所问的错误比较容易察觉,如果问话与答话的内容风马牛不相及的话,学生可以迅速排除。但有时双方会话内容有所关联,但仔细推敲发现其实答语并不切题。 最典型的例子是With pleasure和It's a pleasure。前者一般在事前回答,表示“非常愿意”。后者一般在事后回答,表示“不用客气”。
