【 liuxue86.com - GRE词汇 】

  在我们GRE词汇备考中,小伙伴们很容易忽略一些简单GRE单词,以致于在GRE考试的时候,和那些单词大眼瞪小眼,感觉很熟悉很熟悉,就是说不出个所以然来。在此,出国留学网小编为大家收集整理了一些GRE考试中的高频生词,希望对大家GRE备考有所帮助!

  什么是面熟生词

  面熟生词,顾名思义,就是这个单词有些部分你认识,或者每个部分你认识,可是合起来就不知道什么意思了。这些单词是我们在背诵词汇时,最容易忽略的单词,为什么呢?因为你一眼扫过去,以为自己认识,可在考场上真的一较真就未必真的知道。这必然是一件十分危险的事情。因此从今天我们每天都一起来学习面熟生词,为你的GRE考试加油打气。

  1 backwater n. 一潭死水;沉寂不活跃;停滞

  这个词总给人以后海的幻想,注意赶紧打消这个念头,这个叫做停滞或落后的意思。

  If you refer to a place or institution as a backwater, you think it is not developing properly because it is isolated from ideas and events in other places and institutions.

  例句: The destruction of the western Roman Empire led to a political and economic fragmentation that made western Europe an economic backwater for half a millennium.

  2 moonshine n. 空谈;纸上谈兵

  晚上的月光亮起来了,别幻想了,打住吧!快看英文解释。moonshine 就是empty talk 的意思。

  If you say that someone's thoughts, ideas, or comments are moonshine, you think they are foolish and not based on reality.

  例句:The lesson taught by the crash and the Great Depression was that the glorious dream of a self-regulating economy, free of government intervention and supervision, was moonshine.

  3 brainchild n. 辛苦想出来的点子;想法

  如果你的脑子生出了孩子,太可怕啦,没关系,不是脑残也不是脑瘤,而是你辛辛苦苦想出来的东西!

  Someone's brainchild is an idea or invention that they have thought up or created.

  例句: Facebook, the brainchild of Mark Zuckerberg while he was still studying at Harvard University, launched in February 2004.

  4 deadpan adj. 面无表情的 n. 故意板脸搞笑

  一个要死的平底锅?别逗了,这就是冰冰上课最常见的,板着脸!所以deadpan这个反义词,就是我们上课经常提到的demonstrative或者expressive。 demonstrative哪里见过?忘了小时代的经典片段了吗?undemonstrative panache!

  而我们经常也会说deadpan humor。

  Deadpan humor is when you appear to be serious and are hiding the fact that you are joking or teasing someone.

  5 sidestep v. 回避,绕开

  往边上迈一步?看来这个是意思最直接的一个词了。没错就是跟circumvent和bypass一样的意思。

  If you sidestep a problem, you avoid discussing it or dealing with it.

  例句: In ways large and small, millions of people are taking active steps tosidestep the medical mainstream, whether by taking herbal remedies for diseases or by placing their hopes for a cure in alternative treatment.
