短文寫作的用詞是否得當主要應考慮其對文章是否能產生預期的效果,應屆畢業生求職網告誡大家通常應注意以下幾點:
一、 選用通俗易懂的詞
考研詞匯表中的詞匯均為常用詞,如果能把這些常用詞較熟練地應用到寫作中,文章就非常不錯。有的考生別出心裁地使用了一些華麗的詞藻,結果讓評卷人看了反而覺不倫不類,效果適得其反。常用詞通俗易懂,直接明了,不常用的一些所謂高級詞則抽象難懂,意思難以捉摸,對于考生來說應盡量避免,例如:
| 常用詞 | 非常用詞 |
| make | manufacture |
| buy | purchase |
| ask | interrogate |
| finish | accomplish |
| begin | commence |
| end | terminate |
| use | utilize |
| love | affection |
| agree | accord |
| discussion | controversy |
| tell | inform |
| enough | sufficient |
| speed | velocity |
| car | vehicle |
| live | dwell |
| open | unclose |
| put | dispose |
| choice | alternative |
詞從語義上可分以具體與抽象兩種類別,例如:
| 抽象 | 具體 |
| good |
kind, honest, just, generous warm-hearted, selfless, friendly |
| laugh |
smile, chuckle, snigger. Titter, chuckle, snigger. |
| Scientist | physicist, biologist, chemist. |
| Fish | shark, turbot, salmon, perch, eel. |
| Tree |
shrub, bush, pollard, oak, Beech, plane, pine, willow. |
