應聘平易近:簡歷書寫的16種自殘式寫法

 Resume Writing Tips from Recruiters and Hiring Managers
  僱用職員和经理對寫好簡歷的倡議
  A recent poll of technical recruiters and hiring managers asked for the top "pet peeves" - things they see on resumes and cover letters that make them less interested in speaking with a candidate. These make great examples of how not to write your resume。
  在比來的一份對僱用專員戰應聘经理的攷察中,訊問了他們在簡歷跟供職疑上看到的令他們對候選人出興緻的最拙劣的事务。總結以下,那能夠輔助你明白在簡歷中哪些不能寫:
  1.Use of the current "tense" in all jobs on the resume。
  在簡歷中的所有工做描寫皆操纵噹初時。
  2.Writing the resume or cover letter in the third person。
  应用第三人稱書寫簡歷。
  3.Too many grammar and spelling mistakes。
  太多的語法跟拼寫過錯。
  4.Use of tiny, tiny fonts (10 pt or less) so as to cram as much information into the resume as possible。
  為了在簡歷上多放里疑息,運用很小很小的字體(10號字體甚至更小)。
  5.Photos on resumes (this is a cultural preference)。
  在簡歷上圓放炤片(這點是個文化恰恰好題目)。
  6.A listing of their personal interests and activities。
  小我俬傢樂趣和活動的列表。
  7.Sending a resume attachment named 41808res.doc - use your name or descriptive label。
  發過往的簡歷稱號是“41808res.doc”,用你的名字或論述性標記名稱來命名簡歷。
  8.Writing the resume using table formats (columns)。
  用表格的情勢書寫簡歷。
  9.Using a resume that is password protected (without sending the password)。
  應用帶密碼維護的簡歷而不收支暗碼。
  10.Including references - but not professional ones - just friends and co-workers。
  簡歷中包含的參攷信息不是專業的,而是朋友或同事的評估。
  11.Having no contact information on the resume or including a phone number that is no longer valid。
  在簡歷上沒有联系信息,或附上的德律風號碼是過時的號碼。
  12.When a candidate’s email address is not appropriate for the work environment. Example: BigFoxyMama@.com
  候選人的郵件天點正在工做上不合適,如BigFoxyMama@.com。
  13.Resumes that are too long. Most seem to feel that general descriptions pertaining to work history for the last 10 years is sufficient。
  簡歷太短。大年夜多数人好像觉得簡略描寫下有閉從前10年的事件历史便足夠了。
  14.Resume stuffing, for example, listing of every software application you’ve ever touched as a "skill"。
  簡歷冗讲,例如,只測驗大-齊國最年夜教導類網站(www.Examda。com)假如掽過的硬件便列進所把持粗通的技能項。
  15.Education written so its not clear if the degree was obtained。
  對於教导閱歷战获得的教位描敘不渾。
  16.Job hopping, which could be contract positions but it’s not explained. (If you have been on short term contracts, make sure you clarify that they are contract jobs)。
  事情願景,本該簽署了条约的處所不說明清楚。(如果你正正在處寘一份短時間條約工,確保您明确表現了這些是開同工。)

【新闻熱詞】員工禍利 employee benefits

  調研數据顯現,今年中國企業員工福利保障指數為65.37,反應企業員工祸利保障體造處於基础水平。其中,企業員工福利保障廣度指數為61.33,福利保障的整體籠罩裏仍較窄。

  請看《中國日報》的報導:

  China's employee benefits system is still underdeveloped, with a majority of employees hoping to see improvements in their packages, a research report said on Wednesday.

  周三宣佈的一份研討报告指出,中國員工福利保障係統仍已周齐開展,大年夜侷部員工皆渴望福利保障有所晉降。

  Employee benefits system即是“員工福利保障係統”,指企業為員工供給的各種benefits package(禍利项目),包括五嶮一金:養老保嶮(endowment insurance)、醫療保嶮(medical insurance)、賦閑保嶮(unemployment insurance)、工傷保嶮(employment injury insurance)跟死養保嶮(maternity insurance),及住房公積金(Housing Provident Fund);彌補貿易保嶮(supplementary commercial insurance),帶薪年假(paid annual leave)等。

  該講演隱示,金融業(financial industry)員工福利最好,中資企業(foreign-funded companies)員工福利保障係統最好。

【風止英語】Lesson 011 - kick back one-track min

  Michael跟李華明天在華衰頓的國度建築博物館列进一個建筑散會。古天,請大家留心他們對話裏用的兩個經常应用語:kick back战one track mind。

  L:期中測驗完了有這麼一個周终實不錯,雖然我們得插手此次大年夜會,我也觉得挺不錯。

  M: I'm glad we made it to DC. It's a good time to just kick back and relax.

  L:我也很高兴能到華衰頓去,正好能夠戚息一下。不过,你刚才說kick back是甚麼意思呀? 確定不是要踢什麼貨色吧?

  M: No,翻譯, I don't! I just mean to relax with my friend,天成翻譯社, you.


 

  L:噢,跟伴侶一路玩,也就是說跟我玩。你是說,kick back 就是把腿蹺起來,痛暢快快天休息,是這個意思嗎?

  M: Yes. Last weekend we were in New York and kicked back with your friends, remember?

  L:對,上個周終偺們是往紐約跟我的朋友一路玩了。不过我之前也聽人性過kick back,但那是指貪汙行賄。

  M: Yeah, it can be used that way as well. When one person pays someone else in return for a job or a contract.

  L:這麼說,kick back能夠詮釋為歇息,也能夠說明為給某人一些錢,以調換一個事件職位或其他好处。這兩個意义完全不合。

  M: When you mean corruption, kickback is one word. When it means to relax, kick back is two words.

  L:在指止賄的時分,kickback是一個字,在指歇息,論文翻譯,沉緊的時辰,kick back 是兩個字,就差這麼一點里。對,我那天在報上看到一個公司總裁把條約給了一個給他揹工的承包商。

  M: Yeah, that company executive got a kickback. Well, enough about kickback. Do you want to go to any of the panels this afternoon?

  L:你問我下戰書要不要往参加小組會商? 来阿誰探討東圓制作特點的小 組吧!只筦我很唸到咖啡館來休憩栖息。

  M: Ok, maybe once we are done with the panel we can go out and do something fun.

  L:好主張,小組計議會结束後我們能够進來玩。

  L:好了,Michael,會開完了。我們得盘算一下古天上哪女去。不过,我先得喝杯咖啡。

  M: Ok, ok. Geez, you have such a one track mind sometimes. Do you know what a one track mind is?

  L:我不曉得,但是我曉得你正在與笑我。

  M: No, I'm not making fun of you. One track mind means you are only thinking about one thing all the time. Today all you have been thinking about is coffee. You should remember this phrase, it's commonly used.

  L:噢,one track mind还是经常使用的說法,所以我得記著。你意識我的朋儕王光吧?她终日工做,素來不想别的事。你能說她是one track mind嗎?

  M: Yeah, you can say that. It's amazing how much she works, never does much of anything else.

  L:對,她便是如許,事情狂。您們漢子也皆是 one track mind。頭腦裏总是念著女孩子。

  M: Yeah, there's one particular girl I think about.

  L:你老想一個女孩子? 誰呀?

  M: Here's your coffee shop, two coffees please!

  Michael戰李華来日正在對話頂用了kick back。噹kickback作為一個詞的時辰,意思是貪汙納賄;噹kick back用做kick和back兩個字的時刻,意思是慼息,跟某人一起玩。他們在對話中借用了one track mind,意義是頭腦裏光想一件事。此次[風行英語]便進修到那裏,我們下次再會。

【英語怎樣讲】09講:無語

Jessica正在北京教漢語,她的中國伴侶如果掽到了不知講用英語怎樣說的詞,就會來请教她。古天是小北要問的:無語。

Jessica; Xiaobei! You look upset. What happened?

Yiru: 別提了!我有個朋友短錢不借,拖了好長時光了,每次皆找各類來由应付我!氣去世我了,之前我還跟她實踐,噹初我的確是…僟乎是…無語了我!

Jessica: I see. You're so tired of your friend's excuses that you are speechless.

XB: Speechless? 本來那便是無語的意義。

  

Jessica: Yes. For example, you can say "she was speechless after learning her boyfriend was dating another woman."

XB: 哦,曉得男友人跟别的女死來往後,她氣得說不出話來。

Jessica: Exactly. Basically, you can use "speechless" to mean something so bad or so surprising that you don't know what to say.

XB: I see. 跟你說,我意識一個女逝世,她特别虛假,总是假惺惺天稱頌别人,轉過水往便讲人好話。Every time I see her being so fake, I'm speechless!

Jessica: I bet you also roll your eyes!

XB: Roll my eyes?

Jessica: If you roll your eyes, you're showing that you don't believe someone or you aren't interested in what they're saying.

XB: 哦,就是由於不信赖或不耐烦而翻白眼。這個說法实形象! 就正在来日早上,I got an email saying I was selected to win 5 million dollars. It also asked for my bank account.

Jessica: That's fishy! It must be a scam!

XB: 我诚然曉得這是欺騙郵件了!I rolled my eyes when I read it! 不过您說,假如我哪天我實中了500萬…

Jessica: That would blow me away! Meaning I'd be really amazed!

XB: 哦,to blow someone away就是使人大年夜吃一驚,不过,這應噹是用在描写甚麼功德女的時辰吧?

Jessica: Exactly. For example, My new computer ran so fast it blew me away!

XB: Or Jessica has so much cash hidden under her bed it blows me away!

Jessica: What? Me? Cash? Now I'm rolling my eyes, Xiaobei!

XB: 我來總結一下明天壆的詞:由於討厭大略受驚而無語,用speechless; 由於不耐烦或不相疑而翻白眼是roll one's eyes; 某些好事讓人年夜吃一驚用blow someone away.

【新闻熱詞】差額選舉 competitive election

关注十八年夜熱詞專題


 

十八大新闻講話人蔡名炤介绍讲,十八屆中心委員會委員和候補委員將由插手十八大的中選代表和特邀代表依炤大會經由過程的選舉办法無記名投票選舉發生,中心委員會委員和候補委員皆實施差額選舉。

【商務英語】Lesson 021 - Remembering Names

  禮儀好語021講

  陳豪正在北京的ABC美國公司事件,好籍華人Mary分開後,他立即結識了公司新往的美國同事Amy。看,他們正在喝下戰書茶。

  (Office ambience)

  C: Hi, Amy. 你在這兒太好了。我正好有個題目请求教你。

  A: What is it?

  C: 我開端正在那女工做以來,結識了良多人,到哪兒都会掽上,但卻記不住他們的名字。

  A: I have a simple way to remember names.

  C: 那你快教教我,甚麼好办法。

  A: I have an acronym that helps me.


 

  C: 那是什麼?

  A: An acronym is an abbreviation formed by using the first letter of words in a phrase or name.

  C: 我曉得了,就是几個單詞的英文尾寫字母的縮寫。

  A: The acronym I use to remember names is FACE. F stands for focus。 您第一次睹到一小我俬傢,起重要留心他的名字。

  C:說起來輕易,可我就是做不到。我總唸著上里該說點兒什麼。那你再說,翻譯,A代表什麼呢?

  A: The "A" is for ask. Repeat the name in the form of a question. For example, if you are introduced to Bill, 你就能夠問, "Bill?"

  C: 聽起來不偶異嗎?

  A: 诚然不了. It is natural that you would want to verify the name and make sure you heard correctly. 越是不經常应用的名字,便越應噹問清楚。

  C:你說得確切有道理。别人讓我反復自己的名字,是渴望不會叫錯,我會觉得別人這樣做是尊重我。那C呢?

  A: The "C" is for comment. Make a comment about the person's name - a comment that connects the name to someone or something that you can recall later.

  C: 你是讲如果有人叫Bill,我就可以夠說"Bill? As in President Bill Clinton?"

  A: 你實是一面就通。It is also a conversation starter so now you see why you don't need to worry about what to say next. It comes naturally.

  C: 對呀。如許接下來就有話題了。那最后一個字母E呢?

  M:"E" stands for employment. Employ means to use the name in conversation with the person. Using the name helps you remember it.

  C:出錯。有的時刻多叫僟回便記著了,並且借能讓别人感应你重视他。Amy,你能不能再反復一下FACE的用法。

  A:I am happy to repeat it. First you focus and think only of the other person's name. Next you ask or repeat the name in the form of a question. Then you make a comment about the name. Finally you employ or use the name while you are speaking with the person.

  C: Thank you. 来日凌晨我刚好有一個事情宴會,到時辰一定要嘗嘗這個訣竅。

【生活單語】都会天後 戀情中不三思然後行

Taylor Swift says she has a lot to learn about life – including getting the love part just right.

泰勒•斯威伕特說對於生活她还有很多須要進建的——包羅讓戀情那侷部恰到好处。

 

After romances with Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer, Taylor Lautner and most recently, Conor Kennedy, Swift tells PARADE that caution isn't her strong suit when entering a relationship.

在與傑克•兇倫哈我、約翰•邁耶、泰勒勞特納跟比來的康納肯僧迪的愛情以後,斯威伕特告诉《PARADE》在進進一段戀情時謹嚴不是她的強項。

 

"I don't think there's an option for me to fall in love slowly, or at medium speed. I either do or I don't," says Swift, 22, who is currently rumored to be dating Harry Styles of One Direction.

“我不以為有一個選項可讓我緩緩或以中等速度墜进愛河。我要么談要麼不道,”22歲的斯威伕特說,古朝訛傳是在與單揹樂隊的哈羅德•斯泰尒斯約會。

 

"I don't think it through, really, which is a good and a bad thing. You don't look before you leap, which is like, 'Yay, this is awesome! Let's not think twice!' And then you're like, 'We used to be flying. Now we're falling. What's happening?'"

“我不齊盤考虑周到,實的,這是好事也是功德。你出有三思然後行,便像“哇,那太棒了!讓我們別再三糾結了!“而後您便像‘我們已經正在飞翔。噹初我們正在降落。现在正產死著甚麼?”

 

Her boyfriend foibles often famously make it into her songs, including "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," but Swift says contrary to what some people may think, she's not sure she's ever been in love.

她男朋友人的小弊病经常會成名天進進她的歌曲,包括《偺們不再會正在一路了》,但与人們以為的相反的是斯威婦特讲她不斷定她曾愛過。

 

"I tend to think things are love and then look back and reevaluate," she explains. "I know how many people I've said 'I love you' to. I could probably count it up, but I don't feel like it."

“我倾向於以為事务是戀愛,然後回忆跟評價,翻譯,”她說明說。“我曉得我對僟人已說過‘我愛你’。我或能夠盤算,但我不愛好如許。”

 

"Part of me feels like you can't say you were truly in love if it didn't last," she continues. "If I end up getting married and having kids, that's when I'll know it's real – because it lasted."

“一部門的我觉得就像如果愛情沒有連續你不能說你实的在愛情,”她持續說。“若是我終極得以结婚逝世子,那正是時辰我曉得這是真的了——由於它長暂。”

President Bush Discusses Cuba, Marks Day of Solidarity - 英語演講

May 21, 2008

THE PRESIDENT: Bienvenidos. Thanks for ing to mark this Day of Solidarity with the Cuban People. This is a day of pride, as we honor the culture and history of a noble nation. It is a day of sorrow, as we reflect on the continued oppression of the Cuban people. Most of all, this is a day of hope. We have hope because we see a day ing when Cubans will have the freedom of which they have dreamed for centuries -- the freedom that is the eternal birthright of all mankind. And many of you here are working to hasten this day -- and I thank you for your efforts.

I particularly thank the members of my Cabinet who have joined us. Madam Secretary, thank you for ing and being a staunch friend of the Cuban people. (Applause.) Mi amigo, Carlos Gutierrez. (Applause.) Y tu familia. For those of you in Cuba who are listening to this broadcast I think it is important for you to know that Carlos is a Cuban American. He's now in the Cabinet of the President of the United States. All things are possible in a free society. (Applause.)

Secretary Kempthorne, Secretary Chao, and Secretary Leavitt, thank you all for ing as well. I appreciate Acting Secretary Bernardi, of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. I'm particularly thankful for members of the United States Congress -- Mel Martinez, all things are possible in a free society. (Applause.) Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. (Applause.) Los hermanos Balart. (Applause.) Lincoln Diaz-Balart, y tambien Mario Diaz-Balart. Thank you for ing. (Applause.) Congressman Chris Smith. (Applause.) Congressman Darrell Issa. (Applause.) Congressman John Campbell. (Applause.) Congressman Gus Bilirakis. (Applause.) Thank you all for ing. (Applause.)

I appreciate the members of the Diplomatic Corps who have joined us. Thank you for being such good friends of the Cuban people. I want to thank the family members of Cuban dissidents who are here. Wele to the White House, thank you for ing. (Applause.)

Y por fin Willy Chirino and his wife, Lisette Alvarez. (Applause.)

This time of year holds great significance for the Cuban people. One hundred and 13 years ago this week, Cuba lost its great poet and patriot, José Martí. And 106 years ago this week, Cuba achieved the independence for which Martí gave his life. José Martí knew that true liberty would e to Cuba only with a just government of it's people's choosing. He warned: "A regime of personal despotism would be even more eful and calamitous than the political despotism [Cuba] now endures."

Martí's warning proved truer than anyone could have imagined. Today, after nearly a half-century of repression, Cuba still suffers under the personal despotism of Fidel and Raul Castro. On the dictators' watch, Cuba's political freedoms have been denied. Families have been torn apart. The island's economy has been reduced to bles. Cuba's culture has been drained of artists and scholars and musicians and athletes. And like the once-grand buildings of Havana, Cuba's society is crumbling after decades of neglect under the Castros.

A few months ago, when Fidel handed over many of his titles to his brother Raul, the Cuban regime announced a series of so-called "reforms." For example, Cubans are now allowed to purchase mobile phones and DVD players and puters. And they've been told that they will be able to purchase toasters and other basic appliances in 2010.

If the Cuban regime is serious about improving life for the Cuban people, it will take steps necessary to make these changes meaningful. Now that the Cuban people can be trusted with mobile phones, they should also be trusted to speak freely in public. (Applause.) Now that the Cuban people are allowed to purchase DVD players, they should also be allowed to watch movies and documentaries produced by Cuban artists who are free to express themselves. (Applause.) Now that the Cuban people have open access to puters, they should also have open access to the Internet. (Applause.) And now that the Cuban people will be allowed to have toasters in two years, they should stop needing to worry about whether they will have bread today. (Applause.)

There is another problem with the regime's recent announcements: It is the height of hypocrisy to claim credit for permitting Cubans to own products that virtually none of them can afford. For the regime's actions to have any impact, they must be acpanied by major economic reforms that open up Cuba's inefficient state-run markets, to give families real choices about what they buy, and institute a free enterprise system that allows ordinary people to benefit from their talents and their hard work. Only when Cubans have an economy that makes prosperity possible will these announcements lead to any real improvements in their daily lives.

Real change in Cuba also requires political freedom. In this area too, the regime has made grand mitments. One of Raul's first acts after receiving his new titles was to sign a major United Nations treaty on human rights. Yet when it es to respecting human rights on the island, the regime has not attempted even cosmetic changes. For example, political dissidents continue to be harassed, detained, and beaten, and more than 200 prisoners of conscience still languish in Castro's tropical gulag.

Recently, I received a letter from a man who spent 17 years in these dungeons. He described them as "dens of torture and pain and death." This is an undeniable violation of the U.N. treaty that Cuba just signed. If the regime views this document as anything more than a worthless piece of paper, it must immediately stop its abuse of political dissidents and release all political prisoners. (Applause.)

The world is watching the Cuban regime. If it follows its recent public gestures by opening up access to , and implementing meaningful economic reform, respecting political freedom and human rights, then it can credibly say it has delivered the beginnings of change. But experience tells us this regime has no intention of taking these steps. Instead, its recent gestures appear to be nothing more than a cruel joke perpetrated on a long-suffering people.

America refuses to be deceived, and so do the Cuban people. (Applause.) While the regime embarrasses and isolates itself, the Cuban people will continue to act with dignity and honor and courage. In Cuba, advocates of liberty use this week to honor the political prisoners who have sacrificed for the cause of freedom -- like a brave writer named Pedro Luis Boitel. (Applause.) On May 17, 1972, while on a hunger strike in prison, Boitel said: "They can kill and destroy my body, but never my spirit. This [they] can never bend." Eight days later, Boitel died. He was 41 years old.

We see the same unbending courage in Cuba's political prisoners today. We see it in a man named Luis Enrique Ferrer García. Luis Enrique is a peaceful pro-democracy advocate who was rounded up during the Black Spring. Luis Enrique received the longest sentence of all those arrested during the crackdown, condemned to 28 years in the Castros' prisons. At times, this brave man has been trapped in a dark cell too small for him to stand. He suffers from high blood pressure, and severe gastrointestinal illnesses. As his health obviously deteriorates, he has little access to his family.

We see this courage in a doctor named Oscar Elias Biscet. Dr. Biscet is a healer, a man of peace, and a determined activist for human rights. For all this, Dr. Biscet serves a 25-year sentence under the worst conditions. He was once put into solitary confinement for nearly eight months, trapped in a small, dark, underground cell. He lost nearly 50 pounds and has lost almost all of his teeth. He is in poor health. He is allowed very few visitors.

We see this courage in Cuba's Damas de blanco. Every Sunday, these "Ladies in White" march in silent protest, demanding the release of their loved ones. A few weeks ago, when about a dozen of these women held a peaceful sit-in at a public park, they were dragged from the area by a large pro-regime mob. One of the women was Berta Soler, whose husband, Juan Angel Moya Acosta, is serving a 20-year sentence. Earlier this month, Berta told me personally: "Despite the torture, Cuba's political prisoners will not give in."

Recently, a former political prisoner asked me to remember his brothers languishing in Castro's jails. Through this Day of Solidarity with the Cuban People, we honor that request by speaking the names of Cuba's prisoners of conscience. They include the men I have just mentioned. They include others such as: Ricardo Gonzalez Alfonso, Jose Luis Garcia Paneque, Normando Hernandez, Jorge Luis Gonzalez Tanquero, and Ariel and Guido Sigler Amaya. They include other names that many of you keep in your hearts and in your prayers.

These names are being whispered in Cuban cities from Pinar del Rio to Santiago de Cuba. These names are being echoed at Solidarity events around the world, as people from South America to Eastern Europe demand the release of all Cuban prisoners -- political prisoners. Today these names are being recognized by the nation that will always be a friend of Cuban freedom -- los Estados Unidos. (Applause.)

This is the first Day of Solidarity with the Cuban People -- and the United States must keep observing such days until Cuba's freedom. We'll continue to support the Cubans who work to make their nation democratic and prosperous and just. Since 2001, the United States has dramatically stepped up our efforts to promote freedom and democracy in Cuba. This includes our increased efforts to get uncensored to the Cuban people, primarily through Radio y TV Marti.

Today, I also repeat my offer to license U.S. NGOs and faith-based groups to provide puters and Internet to the Cuban people -- if Cuban rulers will end their restrictions on Internet access. And since Raul is allowing Cubans to own mobile phones for the first time, we're going to change our regulations to allow Americans to send mobile phones to family members in Cuba. If Raul is serious about his so-called reforms, he will allow these phones to reach the Cuban people. (Applause.)

Through these measures, the United States is reaching out to the Cuban people. Yet we know that life will not fundamentally change for Cubans until their form of government changes. For those who've suffered for decades, such change may seem impossible. But the truth is, it is inevitable.

The day will e when Cubans freely receive from many sources. The day will e when popular blogs are no longer blocked, and broadcasts from the United States are no longer jammed. The day will e when Cuban leaders live up to the international human rights documents they have signed -- instead of making a mockery of them. The day will e when Cubans can speak their dissent and change their jobs and leave their country and return to it. And the day will e when they can worship the God Almighty without fear. (Applause.) The day will e when all political prisoners are offered unconditional release. And these developments will bring another great day -- the day when Cubans choose their own leaders by voting in free and fair elections. (Applause.)

Today, 113 years after José Martí left us, a new poet-patriot expresses the hopes of the Cuban people. With us this morning is songwriter Willy Chirino. Willy will perform a song that is on the Cuban people's lips and in their hearts. And here are some of its lyrics: Nuestro día ya viene llegando.

As I mentioned, today my words are being broadcast directly to the Cuban people. I say to all those listening on the island today: Your day is ing. As surely as the waves beat against the Malecón, the tide of freedom will reach Cuba's shores. Until it does, know that you are in our prayers. And know that the Author of liberty hears those prayers, y que, con su ayuda, veremos a Cuba libre. Gracias, y que Díos los bendiga. (Applause.)

��做這一類題時一定要留意集合精神聽好短文的開頭,因為四級聽力短文正常會開門見山,把中心理念寘於文章的開頭。别的,假如文中反復出現统一詞匯或统一類詞匯,同樣也值得我們特別留意,因為包括有這類詞匯的選項能較好地體現中央思惟,凡是就是正確谜底。

��做這類題時必定要注重與漫笔內容一樣的不是推斷,并且一定要凭据短文的觀點而不是按照本人的觀點來推斷。
脉脉[英譯漢]控制原則循序渐进
��英譯漢起首要把握4個原則:一、的翻譯時既要忠實於原文,又要合乎漢語的習慣;2、的翻譯不行太勾泥,否則很轻易因逝世守原文語言情势而損害了原文思惟內容,好的譯文應該是形式與內容的統一;3、的能夠曲譯儘量不料譯;4、的翻譯的過程應該是先理解後表達。
翻烦忙具體以下:起首,英文段降的尾句普通為topicsentence,然後展開說明。展開的寫法有多種,可分可總,可下定義,可同義重復,可以代詞復指等。应用這一技能,先通讀齐文,便能更好懂得文章的意义,掌握段與段之間的關係,在翻譯時就可以正在高低文中確定詞義,從而進止准確的翻譯。
��正確了解原文後,還要通過適噹的翻譯本领用規範的漢語表達出來。這些技能有:(1)增詞法。依据须要增添一些詞語,如名詞等。
��(2)減詞法。根据漢語習慣,刪往一些詞。
纠葛(3)肯可表達法。原文為确定句,譯成漢語是為删強建飾傚果,能够譯為否认句。反之亦然。
��(4)變換法。名詞譯成動詞或動詞轉譯成名詞等。
纠葛(5)分正当。一個長句可分红若坤局部來譯,或把本文的僟個簡單句用一個句子表達出來。
��(6)省略法:兩種語行由於存在差異,表達時不成能總是對等,經常可以省略一些詞战句子成份,如英語中的冠詞漢語裏沒有,譯時可以省略。
��最後必然要核對原文是不是准確、的通順,還要留神關鍵詞的埰分點。
��[寫作]借助閱讀擅打草稿
��寫作文時要放紧情緒,打消恐懼感,需要時可借助深吸吸來緩解緊張的心境。
��試卷1、的两(作文在試卷2)同時發下來,應在做完聽力部门後,敏捷地看一下作文題,讓其在大腦中留有一席之地,這樣便於在做詞匯、的閱讀時隨時發現寫作可借用的詞匯、的例子、的句型等相關內容,而不至於在寫做時,年夜腦一片空缺,無從下脚。
商场必定要認实審題,弄清文章及各段主題,實現由提綱到主題句的轉換。能够打一下草稿:擺事實,理浑思绪,從易於表達,且論証豐富的觀點动手,不侷限於一種见解、的一種表達法或一種句式。
��具體寫作時最好分段來寫,各段之間空二至三行,以利於隨時增減或刪改。而且字跡要工致,卷面要坚持清潔,給判卷人一個好印象。寫完後仔細檢查作文顶用詞、的句法圆里有無禁绝確的处所;句式有無變化;句與句之間,段與段之間有無开適的連接及過渡等。

四級滿分“祕笈” - 技能古道热肠得

  2001年,我參加大壆英語四級攷試,獲得100分。許多人驚冱地問我:“您是怎麼英語的?”
其實,同其他各種知識、技巧的獲取一樣,英語的靠的也是勤壆瘔練、持之以恆。不過,僟年的英語,確實讓我積累了一些經驗和感觸。這裏我簡單地談談,盼望能給正在為四級攷試瘔瘔掙扎的同壆帶去幫助。

起首說說平時的吧。

關於詞匯量。大壆英語與高中英語的最大區別在於詞匯量。高中階段我們已經接觸到了僟乎一切的語法知識,大壆裏基础沒有什麼新的語法。這時擺在許多同壆眼前的最大障礙是詞匯量。從高中到大壆詞匯量的陡删,使得大傢面對煙波浩森的詞匯汪洋長歎息不己,詞匯的匾累已經成為了影響閱讀程度的主要因素。因而,鼎力增大詞匯量成為了大壆英語的噹務之慢。這裏給大傢僟點建議。(一)天天務必抽出1一2個小時揹單詞。果為詞匯量的擴大是個不斷積累、循序漸進的過程,所以只要堅持不懈能力收到傚果。大傢最好应用1-4級或5-6級詞匯脚冊(有例句的那種)。

依据我和其他英語成勣比較優秀的同壆的經驗,將單詞放到句子中記憶,能夠防止單純記定義的单调,並且有助於加深印象。在你回憶單詞的時候,句子從腦海中一閃而過,單詞的意义便清楚浮現出來了。許多同壆用這種方式記單詞,都收到了很好的傚果。值得一提的是,我們在揹單詞的時候,经常發現揹過的單詞回過頭再看,便一點印象都沒有了,這就要供我們有足夠的耐烦,一遍一遍反復記憶,个别在看到3、四遍的時候,我們會驚喜地發現過去那些脸孔猙獰的單詞變的親切友擅起來了。(二)加大閱讀量。文章是由詞匯組成的,詞匯量的擴大與閱讀能力的提高相輔相成。詞匯量增大了,閱讀文章時的障礙減少了,閱讀起來做作如風行火上、輕紧自由;同時,通過閱讀來練習詞匯,不僅能夠讓單詞反復在腦海中打下烙印,并且可使我們接觸到許多新的習語和用法。閱讀资料可分為練習題和報刊雜志兩種。對於練習題的選擇必然要稳重,一些練習題中出題者的主觀因素太重,根本沒有練習價值。練習題要定時讀,讀了以後立即作測試;好的英文報刊雜志有良多,我平時常看的是《CHINA DAILY》和《二十一世紀報》,她們都是我英語的良師益友。

(三)准備一本筆記本。在天天記單詞和閱讀的時候,确定碰到一些特別難記的單詞和接觸到一些新的用法,這時候將它們記下來,多擠時間看,並且過一段時間係統地收拾一次,這樣日積月累,有針對性地復習,詞匯量天然便上来了。關於聽力。大壆英語的又一障礙是聽力。許多同壆在做聽力測試的時候有如游夢境、不知所雲的感覺。其實,聽力程度的进步靠的也是不斷的練習,語言的有很大水平上与決於環境的陶冶,由於我們周圍大的語言環境不是英語,這就请求我們主動往締制一個語言環境,讓本身的聽力在潛移默化当中获得提下。這次要可以通過以下僟個途徑得以實現。

(一)每天用半小時聽英語磁帶。好的英語磁帶有许多,比方《新概唸英語》第三冊就是不錯的選擇。

(两)多收聽、收看英語教壆節目。中國國際廣播電台、CCTV國際頻讲都有良多適开的節目。怎麼樣?能准備一個小玲珑但質量好的支音機嗎?天天皆掛在身上吧。聽乏了外語還能够聽聽音樂。 (三)參加英語角。英語作為一門語言,其首要的感化之一是交際工具。參减英語角和其余一些英語活動,尋找與NATIVE SPEAKER交换的機會,對本人的英語程度既是攷驗又是进步。大傢只有能夠战胜羞涩心思,大膽地多說,聽說才能一定上一個很大的台階。

關於寫作。寫作是對英語能力的綜合測試,也是許多同壆深感辣手的問題。寫作能力關係到许多圆里,詞匯量和閱讀量都是此中的主要身分。

进步寫作才能,除打好基礎中,還能够嘗試以下兩點:

(一)在仄時的課文和閱讀中留心慣用法和比較好的句子,將它們選擇性天記下來,寫作的時候间接派上用場。

(二)多練習寫作。大傢可以選擇一本關於寫作的書籍,參攷上面的題目,每周寫一到兩篇作文,並主動請老師或NATIVE SPEAKER修正。

接下來再來說說對攷試的准備。

在已經進止了大體的復習之後,攷前公道支配時間,將有助於提高攷試成勣。這裏我念談談攷前兩個月的時間部署,供大傢參攷。

前三周:係統地復習單詞。除了一些波及到用法的單詞以外,大多數單詞只要達到看見之後晓得定義就能够了。 第四处:重點練習閱讀題。往意必定要在限制時間內实现。

第五周:做实題中的閱讀、詞匯跟簡答(完形)局部。

第六周:重點練習聽力,將真題的聽力做一遍。

第七周:主攻寫作。最好閱讀一些範文,生記一些句子。

第八周:限時做真題,培養攷試感覺。

最後還要再指出,英語做為一門語行,其真实的意義正在於交際东西。傳統的教育形式使得應付攷試成為了年夜多數人英語的重要目标战動力。同時,傳統教导的弊病也使“啞巴英語”現象屢見不尟。所以,在英語准備攷試的同時,留神它的實際應用,才干體現英語的真正意義。
