高频词讲解 Constrain
共出现7次,均作为陪考词出现。
vt. 1.限制,约束; 2.克制,抑制
同义:1. compel, force, oblige 2. limit
搭配:constrain sb. to do sth. 强迫某人做某事
be constrained to do 被迫去做
辨析:
1. constrain, compel, force, oblige都表示“强迫”的意思。
Constrain表示力劝,强迫,常用于constrain sb. to do sth.;
Compel与constrain意思相近,但更多强调内心情感(如道德、怜悯等)的强迫作用,一般用于正式场合;
Force强迫,迫使,暴力威胁的一位较浓,常用于被动语态;
Oblige(因法律、习俗等)强迫,迫使,常用于被动。
2. constrain, refrain, restrain, restrict都表示“约束”的意思。
Refrain克制,多用于refrain from doing sth. 指克制自己以避免做某事;
Restrain制止,多用于restrain sb. from doing sth.指控制他人不去做某事;
Restrict限制,类同于restrain,但只强调一种限定范围,使之不超过某种限度,常与to连用。
新东方张亚哲老师称constrain为“永赔词汇”,永远是陪考词,永远不选它!今天出现这个词了,真题中它共出现七次,均不作为答案出现。当然,今后还要具体问题具体分析啊,呵呵
真题讲解:
1.翻译:欧洲早些时期的工业能够持续增长是靠了当时可供利用的关键资源的……,比如丰富而廉价的劳动力,煤、铁矿等。
Remain保持不变,在原处,是不及物动词,不能用于被动语态;
Detain扣留,耽搁;Sustain维持下去,含有keep going的意思,题干中指工业保持增长。
2.翻译:许多国家已采纳了……教育制度以提高受教育的整体水平。
这道题就考个固定搭配。
Compulsory必须的,强制性的,(课程)必修的, compulsory education义务教育;
Constrained被强迫的,拘泥的,常指声音或态度,如constrained smile苦笑;
Cardinal最主要的,基本的,但不修饰education,基础教育应是:elementary education;
