【別再什麼都用 "good" 和 "very" 了】為甚麼學習搭配詞讓他們英文口說和寫作突飛猛進?
前幾天有一位台北和一位新竹的學生,不約而同地嘰哩呱啦跟我興奮地分享了學了英文的搭配詞 (collocation),了解了英文「字跟字間要如何搭配」後,他們如何感覺到英文「神速進步」和「變流暢」。當我在他們眼神中,看到拾回的自信和成就感時,我心理知道,從今開始,他們找到了內在動機,將會一直學習下去。
為什麼搭配詞重要,而且會讓人感覺到進步神速呢?想跟大家分享 4 個學習搭配詞 (collocation) 可以讓幫助我們學習的面向。
1️⃣ 讓我們口說、寫作不要「卡卡」,找字找不到
例如我們今天要說,有些人「受到了一些輕傷」,英文總不能說get some light / slight injuries (錯誤用法), 但又找不到字時,沒辦法就只能那樣用。如果我們有了搭配詞的觀念,我們學習「受傷」時,就會一起學習
sustain / suffer from + injury (V + N) 受傷 (注意名詞單複數)
minor + injury (A+N) 輕傷
2️⃣ 讓我們在口說和寫作時,減少中式英文
搭配詞的學習,讓我們可以「先發制人」地知道learn knowledge (學習知識)、raise ability (提升能力) 都是錯誤的表達方式。我們也不會將快速的發展,講成 fast development (建議用 rapid development)。
3️⃣ 讓我們在口說和寫作時,用字用得最道地、更精確、更多樣。
學了搭配詞,
「精彩的表演」從 great performance 到 dazzling performance.
「(書的) 好評價」從 good review,到 favorable review.
「快速的回覆」從 quick reply 到 prompt reply.
「極大的興趣」從 great interest 到 keen interest。
「大幅度的減少預算」從 greatly reduce budget 到 slash budget
「很清楚」從 very clear 到 unequivocally clear
「全力支持」從 full support 到 unqualified support
4️⃣ 讓我們對於英文學習有「正確的觀念」和「期待」。
我們可以更理解,依賴「一對一中英」對照翻譯,是在學習中多麽危險的一件事情。
仔細想想,「受傷」的「受」,跟 receive 一點關係都沒有。「感冒」英文是 catch a cold 沒有關係,但跟中文的「感」似乎也沒有關係。
簡單來說,如果我們「很依賴中文字面」,那麼對於用英文表達「提出反對」(raise an objection)、「提出建議」(propose a suggestion」、「提出看法」(express one's opinion)、「提出辭呈」(tender one's resignation) 這些中文共享「提出」,但英文用不同字的表達,是會遇到很大的問題的。我們的腦也很難接受 flat (扁平的) 學完後,還要接受還有「沒有活力的」、「(汽水) 沒有氣的」等等的意思。
