写作语汇技巧（二）[1]

适当地使用固定搭配（如固定短语）可以使文章表达流畅、到位，考生应在平时阅读范文或其他材料时，注意摘录一些固定搭配，表明他们的用途范围，并在练习写作中留意固定搭配。当然，记忆一定要准确，特别要注意固定搭配中所使用的词性、词形等。

1、Original: ...there is no deny that a university or college really offers us great enlightment for students future development and growth.

Revised: ... there is no denying that a university diploma really offers great opportunities for student's personal growth.

there is no deny改为固定搭配there is no denying“不可否认”。原句中还存在表达不当的问题，应该是大学文凭给学生们的个人发展提供了很多机会。

2、Original: Modern technologies have improved today's factories technology and brought pollutions to the minimum.

Revised: However, with the modern technology, air and noise pollution can be kept to a minimum.

“降到最低程度”是to a minimum。

Revised: If you want to keep pace with the rhythms of the modern world, you had better get up early.

原句catch up with the pace的搭配是不对的，如果表述“和现在世界的快节奏同步”可以用keep pace with（与…同步）或catch up with(赶上…步伐）。

原句中动词spend的词组搭配不正确，spend可以表示“花费钱或时间”。常用的搭配有：spend money on sth./sb.表示“在某人或某事上花钱”；spend time with sb.表示“花时间和某人在一起”；spend time（in)doing sth. 表示“花时间做某事”等。另外，原句有些啰嗦，改后稿用while结构省略了一个句子，使句子更加简洁。

5、Original: The advertisement as the news inform us the current technologies of a country.

Revised: The ad informed us of the current technology, solar, available within that country.

“让某人得知什么消息或事情”，要用inform sb. of sth.,不能直接说inform sb. sth.。

6、Original: I do admire those people who trust their first intuition for their courage to follow what their hearts believe.

Revised: I do admire those people who trust theirSAT
