北美标准化考试词汇必备(五)

北美的标准化考试种类繁多，有我们大家熟悉的TOEFL、SAT、ACT、GRE、GMAT等，还有一些考试是我们不太熟悉的，例如LAST、MCAT、AP等。

不过对于任何一个考试来说，都要求我们的学生具备较大的词汇量。一个受过良好教育的美国人的词汇量大概是2万左右，而现在我们的大学毕业生的词汇量普遍在6000-8000，英语系毕业生的词汇量可以达到1万-1万2。这就是很多同学在出国前都要疯狂背单词的原因。

为了更好地帮助大家进行英语词汇的学习，尤其是应对北美的各种语言和学术类考试，并了解英语词根词缀的知识，留学监理网的老师特意为大家制作了一个系列的词汇提升类文章，希望大家可以有效地进行词汇学习。今天我们就来学习一下How to Talk about Liars。

声名狼藉的骗子--a notorious liar

Everybody knows your propensity for avoiding facts. You have built so solid and unsavory a reputation that only a stranger is likely to be misled--and then, not for long.

完美的骗子--a consummate liar

Your ability is top-drawer--rarely does anyone lie as convincingly or as artistically as you do. Your skill has, in short reached the zenith or perfection.

不可救药的骗子--an incorrigible liar

You are impervious to correction. Often as you may be caught in your fabrications, there is no reforming you--you go right on lying despite the punishment, embarrassment, or unhappiness that your distortions of truth may bring upon you.

顽固不化的骗子--an inveterate liar

You are the victim of firmly fixed and deep-rooted habits. Telling untruths is as frequent and customary an activity as brushing your teeth in the morning, or having toast and coffee for breakfast or lighting up a cigarette after dinner.

天生的骗子--a congenital liar

You have such a long history of persistent falsification that one can only suspect that your vice started when you were reposing in your mother’s womb. In other words, and allowing for a great deal of exaggeration for effect, you have been lying from the moment of your birth.

习惯性的骗子--a chronic liar

You never sop lying. While normal people lie on occasion, and often for special reasons, you lie continually--not occasionally or even frequently, but over and over.

病态的骗子--a pathological liar

You are not concerned with the difference between truth and falsehood; you do not bother to distinguish fact from fantasy. In fact your lying is a disease that no antibiotic can cure.

肆无忌惮的骗子--an unconscionable liar

You are completely without a conscience. No matter what misery your fabrications may cause your innocent victims, you never feel the slightest twinge of guilt. Totally unscrupulous, you are a dangerous person to get mixed up with.

油嘴滑舌的骗子--a glib liar

Possessed of a lively imagination and a ready tongue, you can distort facts as smoothly and as effortlessly as you can say your name. But you do not always get away with your lies.

令人震惊的骗子--an egregious liar

Lies, after all, are bad--they are frequently injurious to other people, and may have a particularly dangerous effect on you as a liar. At best, if you are caught you suffer some embarrassment. At worst, if you succeed in your deception your character becomes warped and your sense of values suffers. Almost all lies are harmful; some are no less than vicious.

学了这么多与“骗子”有关的词，大家是不是已经晕了呢？其实我们真正的目的是要学习那些形容词，并在今后的口语和写作中进行运用。

英语学习是一个不断积累的过程，词汇学习更是不能懒惰和懈怠。希望大家每天拿出一点时间用来进行英语的学习，这样才能产生“水滴石穿”的效果。

希望大家的英语越来越好，早日攻克考试的难关!
