  “单词是一切的基础。”

  “快背单词，一会儿过来给你听写两个list四级词汇。”

  “四级词汇都听写过一遍啦？来，托福词汇了解一下。”

  ......

  大多数同学在托福备考中，都会收到老师和助教的“背单词”轰炸。好不容易背了三轮托福词汇，就要开始自我膨胀的时候，发现托福听力遇到了瓶颈。感觉每个单词都听懂了，大概意思也明白了，但是听力重听题做还有一半做对做错看运气。

  对于刚开始准备托福的小白同学，我们先来看一道难度正常的托福听力重听题：

  What does the professor mean when she says this: “Neruda didn’t won the nobel price for literature by accident.“

  如果你选择了A，那么恭喜你，你完全理解了didn’t do something by accident这个短语。在这里这个短语的意思是“做某事并不是偶然”，也就是说“Neruda是有实力的作家”。

  总的来说，如果重听题没有做对，或者选出了正确选项但是心慌慌，一方面可能是因为词汇只记了一个意思，不熟悉该单词在特定语境的意思；另一方面很可能是因为忽略了这些容易误解的托福短语和表达。今天就带大家来梳理一下15个易错短语和表达。一起看看吧~
