GRE大白皮NO.4-9第250頁(yè)No.8第一套題第3section短文閱讀理解的第20題

作者態(tài)度題目

原文：

We believe,pehaps unimaginative, that this...

考點(diǎn)就是這個(gè)unimaginative

正確選項(xiàng)是A pedestrian 這個(gè)詞本身沒(méi)有必要講解，如果你查閱韋氏字典這個(gè)單詞的解釋就是 unimaginative /commonplace

問(wèn)題出在，不明確unimaginative 和 unimaginable的差別，是錯(cuò)誤選擇NOVEL的原因。前者是“沒(méi)有想象力的”后者是“不可想象的”

-tive 這個(gè)后綴的含義：having a tendency to do, or tending to, 傾向于

unimaginative 在朗文字典的解釋比較準(zhǔn)確：

lacking the ability to think of new or unusaul ideas, ordinary and boring

-able 表示能力，所以u(píng)nimaginable是不可想象的，not imaginable or comprehensible ，too extraordinary or improbable to believe，INCREDIABLE

Synonymsfantastic, implausible, inconceivable, unbelievable, unconvincing, unimaginable, unthinkable Related Wordsdoubtful, dubious, far-fetched, fishy, flimsy, questionable, suspect, unlikely, unreasonable; hopeless, impossible; absurd, outlandish, preposterous, ridiculous; indefensible, insupportable, untenable Near Antonymslikely, possible, probable; reasonable
