關于雅思口語評分標準里詞匯多樣性的一點解讀

2015-11-17

雅思口語第二條評分標準是詞匯多樣性(Lexical resource)。所謂詞匯多樣性,就是指同一個詞重復次數(shù)不能太多。在考試以外的日常交流中,詞匯只要能夠把我們的意思傳達到位就可以了,不需要考慮重復不重復,但在雅思考試中,重復用詞應盡量避免。此外,多樣性并不意味著用一些所謂的大詞、難詞,也不是說要用一些偏詞、怪詞。不管是什么樣的詞,如果重復使用過多次,在考試中都不大可能獲得太好的分數(shù)。

Band
Lexical resource
7
uses vocabulary resource flexibly to discuss a variety of topics
uses some less common and idiomatic vocabulary and shows some awareness of style and collocation, with some inappropriate choices
uses paraphrase effectively
6
has a wide enough vocabulary to discuss topics at length and make meaning clear in spite of inappropriacies
generally paraphrases successfully
5
manages to talk about familiar and unfamiliar topics but uses vocabulary with limited flexibility
attempts to use paraphrase but with mixed success

我們來看雅思口語官方評分標準中對6分詞匯多樣性的規(guī)定:has a wide enough vocabulary to discuss topics at lengthand make meaning clear in spite of inappropriacies;generally paraphrasessuccessfully

由此我們可以看出,要想在詞匯多樣性方面拿到6分,考生首先要具備a wide enough vocabulary。這里,關鍵的部分是wide, 強調(diào)用詞范圍的廣度,而不是所謂的big或difficult, 也就是說并不需要用太大太難的詞。例如,在表達“他學習很用功”時,很多考生不想說“He studies very hard.”, 覺得這樣太沒水平了。在查過字典后,不少考生可能會說“He studies very diligently.”?!癲iligently”這個詞用在這里并沒有什么不好,意義也比較準確。但是,有些考生會有一個習慣,那就是每次在遇到同樣的表達時,總會不斷地重復使用剛學會的詞,如不少考生在遇到要表達“勤奮”或“用功”時,想到的詞就只有“diligently”, 除此之外再想不到其它更好的詞了。過多重復使用“diligently”這個詞,效果和使用“hard”這個詞沒什么差別,甚至更會給考官留下詞匯有限這一印象。因此,雅思6分的用詞,更強調(diào)的是同義詞替換。

其次,6分的用詞還強調(diào)“make meaning clear”這一點。換句話說,就是考生在使用一個詞之前,一定要確保它的意義是準確無誤的。例如,在表達“他正在為這次校園活動做宣傳”這句話時,很多考生不知道“宣傳”應該用哪個詞來表達,在查了詞典之后,選用了第一個看到的“propaganda”這個詞,將這句說成“He is conducting propaganda for this campus activity”。但是,在《麥克米蘭辭典(Macmillan Dictionary)》中,“propaganda”這個詞表示的是“information, especially false information, that a governmentor organization spreads in order to influence people’s opinions and beliefs”, 即“propaganda”其實指的是“政治宣傳”,而不能用來表示“校園宣傳”。因此,“propaganda”即便看起來非常高端,但因其表達意義出錯,是無法幫助考生拿到高分的。如果考生使用“promote”這個詞,將表達改為“He is promoting for this campus activity”, 這樣分數(shù)肯定會比用“propaganda”來得高。

第三,在6分的詞匯多樣性中,“paraphrase”技巧也不能忽視。何謂“paraphrase”?簡單說來,就是“釋義”或“意譯”。具體地說,就是“用詞組或是句子來解釋某個單詞”。舉一個例子,在表達“他學習很用功”這句話時,考生們除了說“He studies very hard.”之外,還可以用類似“He studies almost day and night.”或“He spends a lot of time in studying.”等說法來表達。因此,如果考生在表達時遇到不會說的單詞,要學會用“paraphrase”技巧,換一種說法來說,這也是一種同義轉(zhuǎn)換的形式。同時,“paraphrase”也是一種重要的擴充技巧。例如,我們在表達一個人很樂觀時,可能只會說“He is an optimistic person.” 但是,如果運用“paraphrase”這個技巧進行擴充,我們就可以這樣說“He is an optimistic person, that is to say, he is ahappy person and always has a positive attitude towards life.” 也就是說,我們可以在每句話之后,用類似定語從句的結(jié)構(gòu),對前句中某個特定的詞匯進行釋義,更加具體地擴充自己的回答。

接下來,我們來對比一下詞匯多樣性5分的評分標準。在這一分數(shù)段中,考生必須做到manages to talk about familiar and unfamiliar topicsbut uses vocabulary with limited flexibility, 同時還要attempts to use paraphrase but with mixed success。由“l(fā)imited flexibility”這一點我們可以看出,6分詞匯和5分的大區(qū)別,不在于6分詞匯有多大多難,而在于“a wide enough vocabulary”, 也就是說,6分詞匯和5分詞匯大的區(qū)別就是“同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換”。而作為一項重要的技巧,“paraphrase”也在5分的詞匯多樣性中被要求使用。

那么詞匯多樣性要從6分提高到7分,又要注意哪些方面呢?從評分標準中可以看出,7分的詞匯同樣強調(diào)的是vocabularyresource和paraphrase, 即同義轉(zhuǎn)換和釋義技巧。與此同時,7分詞匯和6分詞匯的區(qū)別還在于,7分強調(diào)使用lesscommon and idiomatic vocabulary, 并注意collocation。那么,什么是lesscommon vocabulary呢?當我們談到“粉絲”的時候,很多考生腦中的第一個反映就是“fans”。但是,如果考生能推陳出新,說出類似“groupie”之類的詞,這就屬于使用lesscommon vocabulary了。但是,更重要的是,考生們要學會使用idiomaticvocabulary, 即“習慣用語”。例如前面提到的“他學習很用功”,考生如果能使用“hit the book”這一“習慣用語”表達“學習用功”,效果要比使用同義轉(zhuǎn)換和釋義技巧來得好。后,在使用詞組時,還要注意不能在“collocation”上出錯,即不能有太多詞組搭配的錯誤。例如,不能把“beproficient in”說成“be proficient at”。因此,7分詞匯也不強調(diào)使用難詞大詞,而是習慣用語的運用和詞組搭配的準確。

后,我們來看一些例子,體會詞匯多樣性在不同分數(shù)段的變化。

Question: What kindof music is popular now in China?

詞匯多樣性5分回答:

Different people have different tastes. In China, some people like classical music,they can get inner peace from it.
