小编:小雅 16今天,无锡环球教育为大家准备了雅思阅读关键词:转折关系。在我们做雅思阅读的时候,需要特别注意雅思阅读关键词,这一类词往往会表述下一句话的重要性。以下内容希望能够为正在雅思备考的你提供帮助。
表转折
but, however, yet, in fact, on the other hand;
A, but B:否定A而肯定B,则A,B两部分内容是相反的。
例如:Computerized data storage and electronic mail were to have heralded the paper less office. But, contrary to expectations, paper consumption throughout the world shows no sign of abating .
解释:paper less 表示负向,则but后no sign of abating 表示正向,所以abating是表示负向的词。
总结:此种方法有利于在不认识单词的前提下读懂句子意思,很有帮助,但一定要练习,而且要敏感。
练习:The marginal costs of generating electricity from nuclear energy may be tiny, but , as the technology now stands, huge and uncertain costs are involved in building the power stations, dealing with spent fuel, and decommissioning.
