环球教育雅思口语写作中常见的那些同义词

大都知道，相同意义词在雅思听，说，读，写方面起着很大的作用。以下是上海环球 老师将分析雅思口语写作中的常见同义词。

同义词对比：公司

「firm」这个词和我们常见的「company」相比，主要是指哪些提供服务的公司，而非那些生产产品的公司。

-a company, especially one that provides a service rather than producing goods

*e.g. a law firm | a firm of accountants

「business」我们说「a business」可以说是一个公司，但是往往这个公司的规模比较小，只有几个员工。

-a company - often used when talking about a company that employs only a *all number of people

*e.g. he set up her own catering business.

「corporation」往往指的是那种「大型企业」了，其中包含了好几个子公司。

-a large company that often includes several *aller companies

*e.g. IBM is one of the biggest corporations in the world.

「 multinational」这个指的是「跨企业」了，业务分布在好几个

-a very large company with offices in many different countries

*e.g. American multinationals are establishing research and development facilities across the developing world.

「subsidiary」这个词指的是「子公司」这个概念

-a company that is owned by a larger company

*e.g. The company runs its New York operations through a US subsidiary.

同义词对比：摆放

「put」很简单，是把某件东西摆放在一个地方

-to move something to a particular place

*e.g. I've put the wine in the fridge.

「place」则是比「put」多了一层「小心」，小心地把某样东西放在一个地方

-to put something somewhere carefully

*e.g. 'It's beautiful,' he said, placing it back on the shelf.

「lay」我们熟悉的含义是「躺下」，而这里则是指「把一件东西小心地放在一个平面上」

-to put someone or something down carefully on a flat surface

*e.g. He laid all the money on the table.

*e.g. She laid the baby on his bed.

但是往往很多人会陷入一个使用误区，是拿我们中文的意思来判断同义词之间是否相近，是否可以在某个情况下使用另外一个同义词，但是这往往会引来一些中式英语的错误。我们来看看环球 老师的讲解。

「position」这个词的意思更加丰富了，是指「小心地把某样东西安放在合适的位置」

-to carefully put something in a suitable position

*e.g. Position the microphone to suit your height.

*e.g. Troops were positioned around the city.

「slip」这个词会复杂一些，从「滑，溜」这个动作引申过来，表示「迅速而不被注意地放置」;有的时候，也可以指「把某样东西偷偷给某人」

-If you slip something somewhere, you put it there quickly in a way that does not attract at-tention.

*e.g. I slipped a note under Louise's door

*e.g. He slipped his arm around her waist.

「shove」指一种「随便放，随便丢」的动作

-to put something into a space or container quickly or carelessly

*e.g. Shove anything you don't want in that sack.

「dump」则是指「把某物以一种不小心，邋遢的方式放在某地」，可以在例句中仔细体会

-to put something down somewhere in a careless and untidy way

*e.g. Don't just dump all your bags in the kitchen.

*e.g. People shouldn't dump rubbish at the side of the street.
