雅思口语里用难词会更高级吗？什么是真正的高阶替代？

Cola老师最爱的老友记已经是第N刷了，每一次都会因为里面的人物带来感动和快乐！最喜爱的是Phoebe Buffay的角色，太quirky（怪异的）了，又有true to herself（我行我素）

今天要分享的是另外一个超级喜欢的呆萌的老朋友Joey。Joey主动要为Monica和Chandler夫妇recommendation letter for adoption agency  领养申请，看他闹出来的笑话是不是很像我们雅思口语中嚼文嚼字的伙伴们呢？

对话翻译参考

Hey I finished my recommendation Here 我的推荐函写好了，拿去

And I think you'll be very, very happy 我想你们会非常满意

It's the longest I ever spent on a computer without looking at porn 这是我除了看色情照片外花在电脑上最久的时间了

I don't understand 我看不懂

Some of the words a little too sophisticated for you? 有些字对你来说太难了吗？

It doesn't make any sense 这封信根本说不通啊

Well, of course it does.  It's smart.  I used a thesaurus 当然说的通，这封信很聪明的 我用了〝词库〞

On every word? 每个字都用吗？
Yep 对

All right, what was this sentence originally? 这一句本来是什么意思？

"They are warm, nice people with big hearts " 〝他们是最温暖 心胸最宽阔的好人〞

And that became, "They are humid, prepossessing Homo sapiens 变成〝他们是潮湿 又给人好成的人类

with full-sized aortic pumps " 有着全尺寸的大动脉〞（医学上的表达）

Yeah Yeah.  And hey, I really mean it, dude 对，而且我真的这样觉得，老兄

All right, Joey, I don't think we can use this. 乔伊，我想这封信不能用

Why not? Well, because you signed it: 为什么不能？因为你的签名是

"Baby Kangaroo Tribbiani " 宝贝袋鼠崔比亚尼〞（因为有一个卡通袋鼠形象也叫Joey，所以Joey用词库查到自己的名字的“高级”替代了）

Why don't you stop worrying about sounding smart and just be yourself? 为什么你不能别在乎聪不聪明 当你自己就好？

You don't need a thesaurus Just write from here 你不需要字库 只要从这里写出来就好

Your full-sized aortic pump 你的全尺寸大动脉

难词并不代表好词

Joey的长难词让人啼笑皆非，晦涩难懂，虽然比较夸张，但雅思口语中很多学生会被高级替代所迷惑，从而走上了无人能懂的“不归路”， 回头是岸吧小伙伴们！

高阶替代只需要在个别词或者短语中有体现即可，不需要狂轰乱炸考官。

That being said(虽然说了这么多， 但是。。。)替代是要有的！他是单词评分标准中丰富度的体现，所以那些替代是高频使用并且能够highlight（高亮）我们的表达呢？

这里Cola老师分享一些常用的

表达情绪的替代表达：

I am tired.---I am beat.

I am busy.---I am tied up.

I am bored.---I am tired of…

I am happy.----I am over the moon./ on cloud nine.

I don’t feel good today.—I am under the weather today./ I am not myself today.

I don’t like him.---he gives me a headache.

I am angry.---I am really worked up now.

I can’t remember it.—It slipped my mind.

The movie is bad.---The movie is lousy.
