您跟我错的一样,hug~

没有的词就找别的字典查一下吧,红宝要能包括所有的单词就不用出字典了,呵呵。

而且,你在考场上很有可能遇到不认识的词,所以现在练习一下蒙也还是有必要的,并祝你10g好成绩

[color=DarkGreen]TERSENESS:SUPERFLUOUS::

Terseness here refers to writing.  The definition in [i]American Heritage Dictionary[/i] is "brief and to the point; effectively concise: [i]a terse one-word answer[/i]".  Thus superfluous describes writings that are not terse, namely, writings that contain superfluous words.  The relationship is close to that of being opposites, but not quite.;xm kqd
~r.BNg6su&Y YP
E is not correct because "stable" does not describe a condition that is opposite to flexibility.  A stable person can also be flexible. _4w h,]a7A)eK{

)iR8\O^g \*n D is much better.  "Spontaneity" and "studied" can both be used to describe writings, and they are opposite concepts.  It is not a good answer because "spontaneity" and "studied" are opposites, while "terseness" and "superfluous" are not.  The correct relationship should be terseness:verbose.%SDoy(Ai

2Zo$v8h$W(p&Pk\,B That is why I think there is no correct answer.  If these are the available choices, then I shall choose D reluctantly.

In Merriam-Webster, "terseness" means "devoid of superfluity". In other words, terseness and superfluous are opposite.

By the way, how can "Spontaneity" and "studied" be used to describe writings?

Asrgbf 发表于 2008-7-4 20:34

The crucial word is "devoid of".  It means it does not have something, but does not mean that it is the opposite of something.  A terse piece of writing is devoid of superfluous words.  However, a spontaneous piece of writing is merely not studied, it is not devoid of anything studied.  Actually, I don't think that the explanation of "terse" in [i]Merriam-Webster[/i] is as good as the ones in [i]American Heritage Dictionary[/i] and Dictionary.com.  "Brief and to the point; effectively concise" describes "terse" much better.
[-U/Hzx,N;G+C
:O6}3U5c:eO%\u Also, note that the explanation in [i]Merriam-Webster[/i] uses the noun and not the adjective, whereas the question uses the adjective.  There is a subtle difference in these.  We can say that a terse piece of writing is devoid of superfluity.  However, if we want to use the adjective, we have to say that a terse piece of writing is devoid of superfluous words.~7nMG9~2fE
"U0r-CdPej.j}^
Now let us look at "spontaneity" and "studied".  Here are the meanings of "studied" in [i]American Heritage Dictionary[/i]:
Sj+^{Cv:^    1. Resulting from deliberation and careful thought: [i]a studied decision[/i].:Qtp vBX x
   2. Lacking spontaneity; contrived: [i]a studied smile[/i].
6h!d*ka-s:Hm*n    3. Learned; knowledgeable.-|!_+r$I&cJR
Only 1 and 2 apply to this situation.  3 has nothing to do with spontaneity.  When I said that both words can refer to writings, I was using "studied" in sense 2.  At first glance, it seems that 2 would confirm that the relationship between "spontaeity" and "studied" are exactly the same as that between "terseness" and "superfluous".  However, note the direction of "devoid of" and "lacking".  In "terseness" and "superfluous", it is the first word that lacks the noun of the second.  In "spontaneity" and "stuied", it is the second word that lacks the first.  That is a crucial difference.  We can say a terse piece of writing lacks superfluous words, but we cannot say a spontaneous piece of writing lacks studied words.  This is because "studied" refer to the whole object, be it a piece of writing or a smile.  Superfluous, when it is used in the sense of the question stem, refers to parts of the object and not the whole.  That is why I said that the analogies are not perfect.

Oh,my. All of you have been prepared for GRE by using one, or two, or three, or more dictionary than one MWD,
hG? h6n right? That is really a tough thing for me. I almost never recite these dictionaries.

Asrgbf 发表于 2008-7-5 01:17

Who says one needs to memorize a dictionary?  I just got the definitions online.  I have never memorized any dictionary, and have never done such a stupid thing. A S4U8DKH P

r v8P;_&gp 不要本末倒置。不是我知道词典里面的定义才来做这些题目的。我说凭着我对英语的认识来看,不是一个词一个词的认识,而是知道这些词的用法、内涵、外延。我引经据典只是为了解释,这并不是基本的功夫。最基本的是语感,然后就是语言分析。不要先把类比的关系划分了,然后把题目塞进这些白鸽笼里面。做每一题的时候,都要从新考虑两个词的关系。这样才是最可靠的方法。
