CATTI英语笔译综合词汇学习35 | 近义词及形近词辨析

作者:网编整理 来源:网络 发布时间:2020-08-07

  词汇及词组摘自CATTI指定教材《英语笔译综合能力2级》,解释及例句源来自牛津高阶英汉双解词典(简体) 第 8 版

  Catti英语笔译综合能力测试题中经常考察大家对于近义词以及形近词的理解与应用,有些词的意思相近,但却有一些细微的差别,而对于这些细微差别的理解就决定了选择题的正确与否;还有一类就是形式上看上去较为相似,但是意思却大相径庭,所以这类题目对一些同学来说较为棘手。

  征服这类题目不仅在于平时对于词汇的积累,更在于我们在备考时就能细心辨别这类词汇的差异并加以整理,从而不至于在考场中混淆。
