北美標準化考試詞匯必備(五)

北美的標準化考試種類繁多，有我們大家熟悉的TOEFL、SAT、ACT、GRE、GMAT等，還有一些考試是我們不太熟悉的，例如LAST、MCAT、AP等。

不過對于任何一個考試來說，都要求我們的學生具備較大的詞匯量。一個受過良好教育的美國人的詞匯量大概是2萬左右，而現(xiàn)在我們的大學畢業(yè)生的詞匯量普遍在6000-8000，英語系畢業(yè)生的詞匯量可以達到1萬-1萬2。這就是很多同學在出國前都要瘋狂背單詞的原因。

為了更好地幫助大家進行英語詞匯的學習，尤其是應對北美的各種語言和學術類考試，并了解英語詞根詞綴的知識，留學監(jiān)理網(wǎng)的老師特意為大家制作了一個系列的詞匯提升類文章，希望大家可以有效地進行詞匯學習。今天我們就來學習一下How to Talk about Liars。

聲名狼藉的騙子--a notorious liar

Everybody knows your propensity for avoiding facts. You have built so solid and unsavory a reputation that only a stranger is likely to be misled--and then, not for long.

完美的騙子--a consummate liar

Your ability is top-drawer--rarely does anyone lie as convincingly or as artistically as you do. Your skill has, in short reached the zenith or perfection.

不可救藥的騙子--an incorrigible liar

You are impervious to correction. Often as you may be caught in your fabrications, there is no reforming you--you go right on lying despite the punishment, embarrassment, or unhappiness that your distortions of truth may bring upon you.

頑固不化的騙子--an inveterate liar

You are the victim of firmly fixed and deep-rooted habits. Telling untruths is as frequent and customary an activity as brushing your teeth in the morning, or having toast and coffee for breakfast or lighting up a cigarette after dinner.

天生的騙子--a congenital liar

You have such a long history of persistent falsification that one can only suspect that your vice started when you were reposing in your mother’s womb. In other words, and allowing for a great deal of exaggeration for effect, you have been lying from the moment of your birth.

習慣性的騙子--a chronic liar

You never sop lying. While normal people lie on occasion, and often for special reasons, you lie continually--not occasionally or even frequently, but over and over.

病態(tài)的騙子--a pathological liar

You are not concerned with the difference between truth and falsehood; you do not bother to distinguish fact from fantasy. In fact your lying is a disease that no antibiotic can cure.

肆無忌憚的騙子--an unconscionable liar

You are completely without a conscience. No matter what misery your fabrications may cause your innocent victims, you never feel the slightest twinge of guilt. Totally unscrupulous, you are a dangerous person to get mixed up with.

油嘴滑舌的騙子--a glib liar

Possessed of a lively imagination and a ready tongue, you can distort facts as smoothly and as effortlessly as you can say your name. But you do not always get away with your lies.

令人震驚的騙子--an egregious liar

Lies, after all, are bad--they are frequently injurious to other people, and may have a particularly dangerous effect on you as a liar. At best, if you are caught you suffer some embarrassment. At worst, if you succeed in your deception your character becomes warped and your sense of values suffers. Almost all lies are harmful; some are no less than vicious.

學了這么多與“騙子”有關的詞，大家是不是已經(jīng)暈了呢？其實我們真正的目的是要學習那些形容詞，并在今后的口語和寫作中進行運用。

英語學習是一個不斷積累的過程，詞匯學習更是不能懶惰和懈怠。希望大家每天拿出一點時間用來進行英語的學習，這樣才能產(chǎn)生“水滴石穿”的效果。

希望大家的英語越來越好，早日攻克考試的難關!
