众所周知，托福考试是一个语言考试。而在托福考试的写作部分中，语言考试的特征尤为明显。特别是托福考试对于中国考生来说。在托福写作中，一定要注意自己的写作风格。今天启德考培小编为大家分享托福写作最易混淆的词汇，以供参考。

　　1、Original: Bill Gates gives a definite answer that college education does count.

　　Revised: Bill Gates gave a definitive answer: college education does count.

　　Definite意思是“明确的”、“一定的”，指意思明确，不会误解;definitive也是“明确”的意思，但往往指“权威性、最后决定的”。此话出自比尔?盖茨之口，体现权威性，故将definite改为definitive。

　　2、Original: …people may attend a university or college for various reasons...

　　Revised: …people attend university or college for a multitude of reasons...

　　此处将various改为短语a multitude of更为正式，体现人们读大学的原因很多。

　　3、Original: The kinds of education that we got on school are formal and intense ones...

　　Revised: The kinds of education that we receive at school is formal and of ten times very intense.

　　不必用kinds of education，直接用education(教育)即可;“受教育”不同get，改为receive;“在学校”不必用at school;把one去掉，用often times very intense指出学校教育常常是非常严格的。

　　4、Original: They can foster their interests in some fields to make life more colorful and meaningful.

　　Revised: They can even pick up hobbies to make life more colorful and enjoyable.

　　Foster their interests是“培养兴趣”，此处用pick up hobbies(开始各种各样的兴趣)更为合适;不同的兴趣是我们生活的调味剂，使我们的生活多姿多彩，乐趣无穷，把meaningful换成enjoyable，与colorful搭配更合适。

　　5、Original: Needless to say, more employment means more income and less idle life, so that people can enjoy a better life and make investment in their future.

　　Revised: Needless to say, more employment means income and less idle time, so that people can enjoy a better life and invest in their own futures.

　　把idle life改为idle time更为合适，表示“闲散时间”;make investment可改为动词invest，与and前的动词enjoy词性一致;人们各自有自己的未来，故将in their future改为in their own futures。

　　6、Original: Another important factor that contributes to the extension of life expectancy is the development of medical science.

　　Revised: Another important factor that contributes to the rise in life expectancy is the development of medical science.

　　“人的寿命的延长”可以表示为life extension，但是如果用life expectancy，则要用the increase of 或the rise in life expectancy。

　　7、Original: the growth of life span.

　　Revised: the rise in/increase of life span.

　　Life span意思是“寿命”，growth指“生长，增长”，“寿命的延长”用growth不合适，life span“寿命的延长”可以用rise in/increase of/extension of.

　　8、Original: energy saving

　　Revised: energy efficiency

　　Energy saving一般作定语，此处名词短语“节能”最好用energy efficiency。

　　9、Original: with the increasing complicatedness of the job profile

　　Revised: with the increasing complexity of the modern jor profile

　　Complicatedness意思是“错综复杂”，但是这种错综复杂是有逻辑的;complexity也是“复杂”的意思，但这种复杂是杂乱无辜的，现代的工作情况用complexity较为合适。

　　10、Original: Such experience will difinitely be helpful in children'slater life.

　　Revised: Such experience will benefit them later in life.

　　Helpful是“提供帮助”的意思，而benefit是“使…受益”。这里作者想说的是孩子将来的人生会受益于这样的经历，用benefit合适，因为这样的经历不一定能对孩子将来的人生提供什么具体的帮助。
