托福考试要想取得高分,一定要注意细节。我平时练习托福阅读和听力的时候,常常会遇到一些很常见的词组,但是,却不知道具体意思。托福听力短语承载了大部分托福听力段子的意思,如果搞错了这些短语的意思,可能就不能正确理解文意了。
最近小编也遇到了这样的情况:前两天有个同事问我:“pull one's leg和hold me back”哪个是“拖……后退”的意思,托福小编心想,她这样问的话,肯定不能看表面意思。
果真,“pull one’s leg”是“同……开玩笑”;“hold sb. back”才是“拖……后腿”。
下面,就为大家整理了一些易混淆的托福听力短语,希望对大家有帮助。
1) a big lime:尽兴,高兴的时刻
e.g. I had a big time there.
the big time:第一流,最高级
e.g. don’t worry, you are in the big time now.
一个简单的冠词,就会使两个短语意思大相径庭。
2) according to:按照,根据
e.g. They were commended or criticized according to their work.
according as:随……而定
e.g. The thermometer rises or falls according as the air is hot or cold.
3) admit to:承认
e.g. I have to admit to a dislike for modern music.
Admit sb. (in) to:允许某人进入某地或加入某组织、行业
e.g. They have admitted me into their club.
4) all for:完全赞成
e.g. I am all for holding a meeting to discuss it.
for all:
e.g. They could not open the box for all their forces.
5) all in all:总的说来
e.g. All in all, it is a success.
all in: 筋疲力尽
e.g. He was all in, but he stuck it out.
6) as it is (was):照目前的情况来看
e.g. As it is, we shall be able to complete our task in time.
as it were:可以说,姑且这样说
e.g. He is, as it were, a walking dictionary.
7) as much as:几乎,实际上
e.g. By running away he as much as admitted that he had taken the money.
as much...as:与 一样多
e.g. It is as much our responsibility as yours.
8) as well:也,还是……为好
e.g. He gave me advice, and money as well.
Since you have begun to do it, you may as well finish it.
as well as:不仅……而且,除……之外
e.g. With television, we see a picture as well as hearing sound.
Small towns as well as big cities are being rapidly industrialized.
9) at one time从前某个时期
e.g. At one time, we met frequently.
at a time:每次,一次
e.g. You can borrow only two hooks at a time.
10) attach to:属于,归因于
e.g. No blame attaches to him.
attach oneself to;参加,加入
e.g. He attached himself to the group of climbers.
11) bear in mind:记住
e.g. I hope you will hear in mind all t am saying.
have in mind:考虑
e.g. Don't give your confidence to others regarding the plan you have in mind.
这些词组和短语都是托福听力中经常遇到的。每一组短语,看起来都很像,所以会造成混淆。所以,在平时做题目的过程中,遇到此类问题,要总结,归类,牢记意思,避免会错意。
