单词不能用中文词汇的褒贬色彩去记

今天学这个词组take advantage of的写作,很多中国人因为只记得中文 “利用”这个带贬义的词义,因此写作中根本不敢用,怕出现自私牟利的意思。事实上这个短语出现在各种情况下,远远不止我们固化思维的贬义。
不去阅读,又只背单词,只记其中一个中文意思,当然不会使用单词。
除了会给大家精选写得特别好的例句外,还有这些词出现在今年的报刊新闻里的原句用法。

take advantage of
很多人以外take advantage of就是“利用”,应该是个彻底的贬义,因此对这种句子里出现这样一个短语感觉很怪。而且自己从来不敢随便用,怕表达出来自己的自私利用。
其实take advantage of表达贬义的“自私利用”只是其中一个用法。
因此用中文记单词的方法学的词汇就造成了思维理解上的局限。其实英语词汇并不存在中文里很固定的褒义和贬义,比如“利用”这个中文概念里的贬义。
