基本知识点清单

在英语中词组与固定搭配也是一个重要问题,一个名词有什么形容词能和它一起用,一个动词能用什么名词作它的宾语,这都是搭配问题。英语中存在习惯用法的问题,以gorgeous为例,可以说:

a gorgeous dress华丽的衣服

peacock's gorgeous tail美丽的孔雀尾

gorgeous scenery美丽的风景

a gorgeous girl漂亮的姑娘

a gorgeous room豪华的房间

又如brilliant这个字,可有以下搭配:

brilliant sunlight明亮的阳光

brilliant light耀眼的灯光

brilliant colors鲜艳的颜色

brilliant jewels闪亮的珠宝

a brilliant blouse颜色艳丽的女衬衣

brilliant plumage艳丽的羽毛

a brilliant future光明的前途

brilliant victories辉煌的胜利

a gorgeous cake可口的蛋糕

a gorgeous sunset艳丽的落日

a gorgeous dinner盛宴

gorgeous weather好天气

a gorgeous time愉快的时光

brilliant thoughts光辉的思想

a brilliant man聪慧的人

a brilliant idea聪明的想法

a brilliant mind杰出的头脑

a brilliant pianist杰出的钢琴家

a brilliant scientist卓越的科学家

a brilliant success辉煌的成就

a brilliant novel精彩的小说

尽管近年来这类考题单独出现的几率减小,但它已经混入动词、名词、形容词、副词辨义中综合考查。所以通过总结历年试题,可以加快学习的进程。
