"Lack of words", unable to find suitable and poetic sentences to express the meaning.
Do you often encounter this situation: you have a certain idea in your heart, but you can't find the right words to express it?
Do you have a clear picture in your mind when writing but cannot outline it into words?
After a rain in autumn, you will only say: "It's so cold", but the ancients would say: "The rain is gurgling outside the curtain, the spring is fading, and the quilt cannot bear the cold at midnight."
At dawn, when the sun is about to rise but the moon is still there, you will only say: "The sun is coming out and the moon has not set yet." But the ancients would say: "The long night is long and the stars are full of desire. "Shutian."
"Poor vocabulary" is a manifestation of insufficient vocabulary. When we learn English, we pay attention to the accumulation of vocabulary. In fact, Chinese also pays attention to vocabulary. Insufficient vocabulary will affect our communication and communication, and even It will affect our thinking ability. The chief director of the dictation conference has a similar view. He said, "The mother tongue can be richer, can be particularly beautiful, and the sentences can be more detailed and broad. The richness of the mother tongue vocabulary is related to the value of the mother tongue and affects the value of the mother tongue. To the thinking ability of a nation."
Hong Dan proposed in her book "Learning Writing from Scratch" that you do not lack vocabulary, what you lack is the skills to use vocabulary, so here is how to use it. Let’s explain it in terms of vocabulary and vocabulary accumulation.
When writing, try to use precise words instead of overly general words. Use specific nouns instead of vague words. For example, don’t use “animals” in general when writing. "Instead of the word "sparrow", use the precise word "sparrow". Don't just write "stationery", but also use the precise word "ruler" and "pencil sharpener". There are professional terms in every professional field. Understanding these professional terms will enrich your vocabulary. For example, there are many terms in table tennis just for serving and receiving, such as serve, spin, backhand, backhand, forehand, etc. Hand hitting, topspin, backspin, sidespin, long draw and short drop, defensive player, offensive player, chipping, rubbing, lob, side kick, block, fast break, back kick, dunk Kill...
These professional vocabulary will make your article vivid, true and persuasive.
When writing, use more concrete image words. Our brain's memory method is good at receiving concrete image things, so we might as well link those abstract things with concrete things. For example, poetry often uses " Intangible sorrow is written very vividly. Li Yu's "Popular Poppy" "asking you how much sorrow you can have is just like a river of spring water flowing eastward." The sorrow is compared to a river rolling eastward, and it is also like "shearing." Continuously, the reason is still chaotic, it is the sorrow of separation. "The sorrow of separation is directly visualized, allowing people to feel and touch it."
In addition, the brocade technique in literary works is a list of images, "The building boat crossed Guazhou in the night snow, the iron horse dispersed in the autumn wind." There are no verbs or adverbs, just a few nouns to describe A picture, which places abstract emotions on these images, is full of picturesque feeling.
When writing, try to avoid a word appearing repeatedly. The best way is to find a similar idiom to replace it. For example, "Take Hanzhong from the south, lift Ba and Ba from the west" in "Guo Qin Lun" "Shu, cut off the land of Gao in the east and harvest the key counties in the north." The words "take, lift, cut, and harvest" actually have the same meaning, but the author found a few similar words to make the article appear to have a large vocabulary. It can also highlight the momentum of Qiang Qin.
Sometimes if you can only think of a very common word or a word that others have used badly, you can go to Baidu and search for synonyms to replace it. To describe a beautiful woman, you only think of common words such as "beautiful" and "beautiful". If you go to Baidu, you can find a large number of idioms describing beautiful women: forest atmosphere, beauty, graceful, charming...
Use these words to make your article instantly high-end.
There are rich vocabulary in famous books. The so-called intensive reading means reading word for word, reading it repeatedly, excerpting the vocabulary, and learning to accumulate it. In her writing class, Qu Weiwei advocated reading more ancient poems and essays, and she recommended some classic works suitable for improving writing skills, such as "The Thousand-Character Essay", "Rhythm Enlightenment", "Guan Zhi" and "Six Chapters of a Floating Life" ” “Words in the World”, “Poetry in Suiyuan”, “Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio”, “Looking for Dreams in the West Lake”, “Three Words and Two Shots” and Jin Yong’s “The White Deer is Shooting in the Snow, and the Laughing Book Hero Relies on the Blue Mandarin Duck”.
When Yu Minhong was in his 20s, his vocabulary in English reached 70,000. Not only was it related to his deep reading of hundreds of books, he also memorized an entire English dictionary. It can be seen that memorizing dictionaries has an important impact on vocabulary. Accumulation is very useful, and it is the same in Chinese. Look through dictionaries frequently to understand the meaning of words and their usage, and learn and use them flexibly, and draw inferences from one example. There are many types of dictionaries, such as "Shuowen Jiezi" in ancient times, and now there are "Idioms Dictionary", "Celebrity Quotes Dictionary", "Ancient Poetry Dictionary", etc. Make full use of these reference books to enrich your vocabulary.
Learning any language is inseparable from the word "memorize". Regardless of English or Chinese, human languages ??are interlinked. Economist Mr. Zhang Wuchang said in the book "I Only Pity Talents" It is mentioned in the book that Chinese must be memorized. Chinese is made up of monosyllabic words. Through memorization, you can understand how to form words and imitate how masters use words to form sentences.
He believes that children should recite more classics. Even if they don't understand, they should recite more when they are young and have the best memory. They will naturally understand it when they grow up.
One of the writing experiences of some famous writers is to imitate. First read the works of famous writers, then learn to analyze the structure of the article, then excerpt and recite the famous sentences, and turn them into your own language. Only by memorizing other people's words can you Become your own language.
