“寫作替換詞句積累”系列從《經濟學人The Economist》、《時代周刊 Time》《連線 Wired》等著名刊物（大學四級、六級、托福及SAT題源）中提取適用于托福、雅思及SAT寫作中的替換詞句。希望能夠幫助童鞋們積累優(yōu)秀的表達，并活用到自己的作文中，優(yōu)化辭藻。
1. 今昔對比
主語, once considered + adj., is/are now + adj.
E.g. Such calamities, once considered freakish, are now commonplace.?
該句型適用于托福獨立作文中的今昔對比題，如?
Teachers were more appreciated and valued by society in the past than they are nowadays. (TPO 41) 在作文首段可以改寫題目為：
Teachers, once considered respectable, are now of dubious reputation.
2. 事與愿違
It is tempting to think （長句描述） . In fact, it is （短句轉折） .
E.g. It is tempting to think these are temporary setbacks and that mankind, with its instinct for self-preservation, will muddle through to a victory over global warming. In fact, it is losing the war.?
該句型適用于分析SAT作文作者concede讓步部分，如
2016年5月北美 Eric Klinenberg, “Viewpoint: Air-Conditioning Will Be the End of Us.” ?2013 by Time Inc.?
作者在前文認可了AC的發(fā)明拯救了老人和病弱者的生命，提高了辦公室產能，確保了工廠的安全等優(yōu)點。但在后文提出 Americans need to greatly reduce their reliance on air-conditioning. 這一主旨。
由于全文兩大段在做讓步concession，多數學生分析這篇文章時會選從concession這個角度切，在分析讀者受到的影響時，可以套用該句式：
It is tempting for readers to think those are profound merits for all classes and that air-conditioning is more than a great invention. In fact, it spells much trouble.
3.除非先解決…問題，否則沒有一個解決方案會有實際效果
Yet none of these fixes/solutions will come to much unless … is tackled head on.?
E.g.?Yet none of these fixes will come to much unless climate listlessness is tackled head on.?
4. 幾個詞組
關注度在上升：Public concern is picking up.
呼吁群體意志：fire up the collective will
致力于/辛勤（研究）： beaver away on sth.
前兩個詞組適用于SAT寫作中分析讀者反饋。
另，pick up 一詞多義，還有“習得” pick up a hobby；“拾取” pick up after dog 即拾取狗狗的xx
