下文是native speaker專門用gre的big words寫的,有點像松松的黃寶書的味道,句子寫得不錯,很值得一看。不好讀,要有耐心去查出你不會的字。每天都讀上一次,久了就是你的。可惜只找到這一篇,希望以後可以多找到幾篇。中文的部分是我翻譯的(大意)。
A Modicum of Levity to Abate the Agony of GRE Preparation
It is exigent that those preparing for the GRE adopt an arduous and austere approach, and pursue it with verve and alacrity. Though a scintilla of chicanery and equivocation may prove expedient, the pococurante must expeditiously disabuse(=rid) themselves of the audacious conceit that capricious and extemporaneous exertion, without legitimate erudition, will be of any avail.
One must not acquiesce to ennui or become inured to indolence, for careless misapprehension bespeaks the ingenuous, not the ingenious. While the challenge of preparing for such seemingly inane and disparate subjects can be enervating, the temptation to abscond and excoriate the whole convoluted exercise as irrelevant must be surmounted if one aspires to procure laud and approbation rather than censure and opprobrium.
用一點點的輕率(不要太多)來減少準備gre考試的痛苦
這是急需的:那些準備GRE考試的人採用費力又嚴峻的方法,再用氣魄和敏捷追求它。雖然些許的的巧計和不明確,對準備gre考試能是個權宜之道,但pococurante冷漠之人必須迅速糾正以下的觀念:自己即興的和考前抱抱佛腳的大膽自負(無須博學),對考試會有幫忙。
不能默許倦怠,或習於懶惰。 粗心、誤解只能表示你很率真,但並不聰明。準備gre考試不可採逃避心態,雖然挑戰準備這種看似空洞的和不同的主題,讓人很累,但如果你渴望得到讚美和認可而非責難和污名,那你就要克服逃避的念頭,也不要批判整個困難的練習皆是沒有用的。
