如果同學想在 DSE 英文 考試 奪得高分,同學必須要知道 DSE 英文 考試 的常用及實用詞彙,才可以好好準備。
值得稱讚的
praiseworthy (adj.)
呢個字應該好易解啦!😎 (同之後介紹嘅字一樣)“praise”解稱讚“worthy”解值得
praise➕worthy 就係……
‘值得稱讚’咯😂
例如:
The players of the Chinese women’s volleyball team were praiseworthy for their poise against the mighty USA team.
commendable (adj.)
呢個字同樣都好易理解!😎“commend”解稱讚
“-able”尾通常係 (adj.)
咁➕埋係🤔
‘值得稱讚’咯🤣
例如:
Chancellor Angela Merkel is commendable as she has managed to bring economic prosperity to the Germans.
laudable (adj.)
最後呢個字可能有少少陌生😮,但laud都係解讚揚,夾埋“-able”通常會變(adj.)😎
不過⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
佢仲有更深層次嘅意思🤩
就係*行為或習慣*值得稱讚,*就算*只係成功好少🤩
例如:
Saving dozens of workers trapped in the mine, the rescue workers are laudable.
解釋
illustrate (v.)
平時睇書都會見到插畫嗰爛😉
但原來illustrate係可以解‘解釋’架😮
(之後嗰啲更加難以想像😉😉)
例如:
The incompetence of the government in extirpating pollution illustrates its chilling disregard for the alarming problem.
demonstrate (v.)
Demonstrate 唔係示範咩?🤔其實demonstrate 都有 make things clear 嘅意思,即係‘解釋’😉
例如:
A series of scandals have demonstrated the incompetence of the government.
spell out (v. phrase)
Spell❓串字❓🤔
Out❓出黎❓🤔
串出黎❓
無錯❗️有無啲‘解釋’嘅味道呢❓😜
不過,記住要一齊用‼️
如果唔係,就真係俾人串架喇😩😖😣
例如:
The government has refused to spell out its plans
不同
not alike (adj.)/ (adv.)
Alike? 😉以為打錯字?😜
其實alike係解一樣,佢可以用做adj. 或 adv.🤩
例如:
All students do not look alike.
various (adj.)
Various係各種不同的✍🏻
例如:
Toyota provides various kinds of models, including petrol-driven cars, electric cars and hybrid cars.
distinct (adj.)
distinct係明顯不同的
同普通不同又高咗一個層次😎
例如:
There are two distinct political parties within Hong Kong.
different(adj.)
當然!點少得最常用嘅 different。😉相信我唔洗多講呢個字👍🏻
例如:
As a gourmet paradise, Hong Kong offers different sorts of cuisine for tourists to choose from.
艱辛
strenuous (adj.)
例如:
Despite Rafael Nadal’s strenuous efforts in the final of the 2012 Australian Open, he was trounced by Novak Djokovic.
laborious (adj.)
見到labor 字頭都估到係同勞工,辛勞有關啦❗️😎佢變咗做形容詞,咪係指艱辛咯❗️😎
例如:
Getting 5** in every subject in the HKDSE is a laborious task.
arduous (adj.)
呢個字可能大家會比較陌生🤔,眼見奇怪啲字母組合,但都係指艱辛架!😜
例如:
Bringing up autistic children is an arduous task
painstaking (adj.)
呢個大家一睇就見到個pain 啦!pain 解痛苦😓😭,咁呢個字都離不開艱辛嘅意思
例如:
Mr. Yu believes his students’ painstaking efforts will pay off.
小心
look out (v. phrase)
好多人誤會look out 係指望向出面(同之後介紹嘅詞語一樣)😂,但其實look➕out 係有小心嘅意思
例如:
The floor is slippery. You should look out.
watch out (v. phrase)
同 look out 差唔多,watch➕out都會有小心嘅意思😎
例如:
In summer, we should watch out for flies and mosquitoes because they can easily spread diseases.
beware (v.)
小心⚠️ 用‘小心’嘅詞語都要好小心🤣
Beware 後面要加 of 😉
例如:
When we go shopping in Mong Kok, we should beware of pickpockets.
