gre詞匯是正在準(zhǔn)備gre考試的考生們公認(rèn)的最難復(fù)習(xí)的一項(xiàng)，但是對于gre詞匯復(fù)習(xí)我們真的沒有什么好方法了嗎?下面是小編為大家整理收集的關(guān)于gre考試復(fù)習(xí)必備高頻詞匯的相關(guān)內(nèi)容，希望對大家有所幫助。

　　1 backwater n. 一潭死水;沉寂不活躍;停滯

　　這個(gè)詞總給人以后海的幻想，注意趕緊打消這個(gè)念頭，這個(gè)叫做停滯或落后的意思。

　　If you refer to a place or institution as a backwater, you think it is not developing properly because it is isolated from ideas and events in other places and institutions.

　　例句： The destruction of the western Roman Empire led to a political and economic fragmentation that made western Europe an economic backwater for half a millennium.

　　2 moonshine n. 空談;紙上談兵

　　晚上的月光亮起來了，別幻想了，打住吧!快看英文解釋。moonshine 就是empty talk 的意思。

　　If you say that someone's thoughts, ideas, or comments are moonshine, you think they are foolish and not based on reality.

　　例句：The lesson taught by the crash and the Great Depression was that the glorious dream of a self-regulating economy, free of government intervention and supervision, was moonshine.

　　3 brainchild n. 辛苦想出來的點(diǎn)子;想法

　　如果你的腦子生出了孩子，太可怕啦，沒關(guān)系，不是腦殘也不是腦瘤，而是你辛辛苦苦想出來的東西!

　　Someone's brainchild is an idea or invention that they have thought up or created.

　　例句： Facebook, the brainchild of Mark Zuckerberg while he was still studying at Harvard University, launched in February 2004.

　　4 deadpan adj. 面無表情的 n. 故意板臉搞笑

　　一個(gè)要死的平底鍋?別逗了，這就是冰冰上課最常見的，板著臉!所以deadpan這個(gè)反義詞，就是我們上課經(jīng)常提到的demonstrative或者expressive。 demonstrative哪里見過?忘了小時(shí)代的經(jīng)典片段了嗎?undemonstrative panache!

　　而我們經(jīng)常也會說deadpan humor。

　　Deadpan humor is when you appear to be serious and are hiding the fact that you are joking or teasing someone.

　　5 sidestep v. 回避，繞開

　　往邊上邁一步?看來這個(gè)是意思最直接的一個(gè)詞了。沒錯(cuò)就是跟circumvent和bypass一樣的意思。

　　If you sidestep a problem, you avoid discussing it or dealing with it.

　　例句： In ways large and small, millions of people are taking active steps tosidestep the medical mainstream, whether by taking herbal remedies for diseases or by placing their hopes for a cure in alternative treatment.，
