雅思寫作中最易誤用詞匯系列之lack

雅思寫作想上7的同學(xué)，看看這篇文章吧，它將屬于雅思經(jīng)典詞匯錯(cuò)誤集的一部分，這些詞匯我們特別喜歡用，卻又特別容易錯(cuò)，而且經(jīng)常還渾然不覺。為何寫作的實(shí)際得分往往要低于自我感覺分，其實(shí)就是想這樣的不自覺的錯(cuò)誤太多。我們會(huì)以系列文章的方式，給大家糾正被用錯(cuò)用詞匯，搭配。我相信戰(zhàn)友們的作文里的錯(cuò)誤才是真正雅思寫作詞匯書有用的詞匯。今天就給大家講下lack 這個(gè)詞：

lack / læk; læk/ v

1.及物動(dòng)詞[不用於被動(dòng)語態(tài)] 沒有(某事物); 缺乏; 不足:

lack creativity, self-discipline, courage 缺乏創(chuàng)造性﹑ 自制力﹑ 勇氣 *

They lacked the money to send him to university. 他們沒錢送他上大學(xué). *

What he lacks in experience he makes up for in enthusiasm. 他熱心工作以彌補(bǔ)其經(jīng)驗(yàn)的不足.

2. 不及物動(dòng)詞：[不用於被動(dòng)語態(tài)] ~ for sth (fml 文) need sth 需耍某事物:

They lacked for nothing,他們無所需求(已應(yīng)有盡有).

(idm 習(xí)語) be lacking 缺:

Money for the project is still lacking. 進(jìn)行這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的錢還沒有著落.

be lacking in sth not have enough of sth 不足; 不夠: be lacking in warmth, courage, strength 缺乏溫暖﹑ 勇氣﹑ 力氣 *

The film was lacking in pace. 這部影片不緊湊.

lack n [U, sing]

absence or shortage (of sth that is needed) (所需事物的)缺乏, 短缺: a lack of care, money, water 缺乏關(guān)心﹑ 金錢﹑ 水 *

The project had to be abandoned for lack of funds. 工程因資金匱乏只得放棄.

詞匯點(diǎn)評：

lack 這個(gè)詞既是及物動(dòng)詞，也是不及物動(dòng)詞，而且也是名詞。所以很多同學(xué)用混了。最常見的錯(cuò)誤是 be lack of…. 四不像。還有就是用做名詞的時(shí)候是不可數(shù)。一般為 for lack of+名詞 但是也見過a lack of…

簡單記為：

Sth lacks sth

Sth is lacking in sth

Sth fails for a lack of sth/lack of sth(復(fù)數(shù)).

經(jīng)典搭配：

a lack of planning on your part 你缺少規(guī)劃!

a lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect 缺少界限就缺少尊重!

a lack of compassion can be as vulgar as an excess of tears 缺少同情和眼淚泛濫一樣粗陋。
