   GRE频道在此与大家分享新东方北京学校GRE名师韩冰老师为大家带来的有关on the contrary的讲解。


  似乎 on the contrary 掀起了一阵轩然大波,很多小伙伴都过来问我,老师on the contrary 到底想怎么样,今天冰冰就帮你解决这个小婊砸。
  有益结论
  首先我们来亮一下冰冰对on the contrary探索的结论吧。
  (1) on the contrary 前后主体一致时,描述性内容不取反。
  (2) on the contrary 前后主体不一致时,描述性内容取反。
  (3) on the contrary 与but等转折连词连用时,直接忽略。
  背景
  on the contrary 到底是否取反突然今年夏天就火了,之前我也并没有意识到这个问题,而突如起来的一系列问题让我开始重新审视这个短语。似乎得到一些有益的结论,让我抽丝剥茧,给你来个介绍一下吧。
  我们先从中文出发
  如果我说,“我长得不丑;恰恰相反,我长得______” 这个时候,你的本能一定是填写美对不对。我长得不丑,恰恰相反,我长得很美。这是多么通顺的句子,可是有同学说,老师我长得不丑和我长得美不是一个意思么?这个恰恰相反反在了哪里?on the contrary用在了哪里呢?
  如果我说,“我长得不丑;恰恰相反,万炜长得____”这个时候,你的本能一定是填写丑对不对(即使没有第一句,你也应该填写丑,嗯,万老师不要打我)。这时候我们发现就是对前面的不丑取了反。
  我们再看看longman对于on the contrary 的解释:
  used to add to a negative statement, to disagree with a negative statement by someone else, or to answer no to a question
  所以到底取反与否?你会发现这是和on the contrary前后修饰对象相关的。我想你没有必要那么复杂深邃的去想这个问题,记清楚一开始我讲的三个原则就应该可以解决现在所有的问题。我们先来看几个GRE填空中的原句来感受一下吧。
  例1
  That the artist chose to remain in his hometown does not mean that he remained (i) __________; on the contrary, he (ii) __________ the international artistic 1 movements of his day.
  Blank (i) Blank (ii)
  A provincial 2 D knew nothing about
  B capricious E made light of
  C obstinate 3 F kept abreast 4 of
  这道题目的正确答案是AF。我们会发现,on the contrary前后主体是一直的,都是同一时刻同一地点的一个人,所以前面和后面的描述性内容应该是一致的。所以前面说这并不意味着他怎么样,后面就应该说他没怎么样。AF答案显而易见,前面说他并不狭隘,后面说他很国际化,就是对一个意思的加强,核心描述性内容没有变化。
  例2
  The sea was not an (i) _______ the (ii) _______ of the windmill; on the contrary, while the concept of the new invention passed quickly from seaport 5 to seaport, it made little headway inland.
  (A) element in.. evolution
  (B) issue in . . acceptance
  (C) aid to.. designers
  (D) obstacle to.. diffusion 6
  (E) impediment to.. creation
  这道题目答案应该选择D选项。海洋对于风车产生一个动作;恰恰相反,虽然新东西在海港上快速传播,却在内陆没有任何进展。所以第二个空格应该确定是跟传播(pass quickly)相关。第一个空格就应该体现出海洋没有什么障碍,因为在seaport传播很快。所以我们选择D。
  我们现在再来分析一下这句话,大家会发现。前后主体不一致了。这句话如果简化的说就是海洋不是障碍;恰恰相反,陆地是障碍。 在主体不同的时候,我们就需要构造对比了。
  例3
  Early studies often concluded that the public was _______ the propagandistic influence of mass communications, but one recent study indicates that, on the contrary, mass communications seldom produce marked changes in social attitudes or actions.
  A. unaware 7 of
  B. scornful of
  C. susceptible 8 to
  D. unimpressed by
  E. coping with
  这道题目应该选择C。说的是早起的研究认为政治传播会影响大众,但是最近的研究,恰恰相反,发现大众传播不会对人们产生任何影响。这里面因为有了but,所以我们直接把on the contrary忽略掉就可以了,就是一个加强语气。直接按照一个简单的but句子来进行就可以了。那么即使没有but。我们也应该取反。为什么呢。因为前后的主体不一致。前面的主体是早起研究的结论,后面的主体是最近研究的结论。他们是不同的主体,所以没有but也还是要取反的。
