托福备考之巧用名人名言

 　还在因为写作文说口语，无话可说而发愁吗？想不想用精彩的一句话，代替出你那一长串英文句子？本期不仅介绍英文名言，还与托福写作题目挂钩哟！不可错过，快快收藏吧！

　　【高能预警，下面即将出现重点！】

　　小编为大家精心挑选了各种托福口语、写作的题目，并翻译成了中文，提供了参考思路，还做了知识点补充。

　　1.To be both a speaker of words and a doer of deeds. 既当演说家，又做实干家

　　（1）doer “实干家”= someone who does things instead of just thinking or talking about them

　　（2）与doer-“实干家”相对的是talker/ a speaker of words-“演说家”/dreamer “空想家”

　　（3）请注意：“空想家”可不是“thinker”哦！thinker是“思想家”的意思！ = someone who thinks carefully about important subjects such as science or philosophy, especially someone who is famous for thinking of new ideas: 比如Schopenhauer（哲学家叔本华）

　　（4）deed /di:d/发音上要和did/did/相区别，这里是长元音。这个词的意思是“行为” = 【formal，正式的说法，适合用在写作之中】 something someone does, especially something that is very good or very bad.【既可以指做好事的行为，也可以指做坏事的行为】

　　Question:

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Communication skill is the most important element in a successful leadership.

　　沟通技巧对于一位成功的领导者来说是最重要的。【原题，用这句话无法反驳。因为“也重要”“同样的重要”不能用来反驳“最重要”。】

　　2.There is no royal road to learning.求知无坦途

　　【no royal road to sth. = no shortcut¹ 没有捷径 Learning things requires work.】

　　Question:

　　Some students prefer to have their final grades determined² by many small assignments, whereas³ others prefer to have their final grades determined by only a few big assignments. Which do you prefer and why?

　　有些学生喜欢最终成绩取决于很多小作业，而另一些学生则更愿意最终成绩取决于为数不多的几次大作业，你更喜欢哪种？为什么？

　　【Many small assignments 因为这样可以不断巩固知识。当然，这会费一些时间和经历，但毕竟：After all, there is no royal road to learning.嘛！】

　　3.Doubt is the key to knowledge.怀疑是知识的钥匙

　　【the key to sth. 是……的钥匙，相当于“是……的秘诀”。我们也可以仿写：Doubt is the key to success. 怀疑是成功的钥匙。】

　　Question:

　　Some parents do not agree with the way teachers are teaching their children. Do you think that parents should express their disapproval⁴ to the teachers?

　　有些家长不同意老师教育他们孩子的方式。你认为这些家长应该把他们的不认同表达给老师吗？【agree】

　　4.The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.世界上对勇气的最大考验是忍受失败而不丧失信心

　　【on earth的意思是“在世界上”；bear动词是“忍受”，名词是“熊”； lose heart = lose confidence 丧失信心，如果失恋了很伤心可不是lose heart而是break heart】

　　Question:

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? To remain happy and optimistic when you fail is more important than achieving success.

　　在失败时仍保持乐观积极是比获得成功更加重要的事。【agree】
