پکیج کالوکیشن collocation in use

✅هر كالوكيشن يك جفت يا گروهى از كلمات هستند كه اغلب با همديگر به كار برده ميشوند.
اين تركيب كلمات به گوش انگليسى زبانان به نظر طبيعى ميرسد؛ اما زبان آموزان بايد براى يادگيرى انها تلاش كنند زیرا حدس زدن اينكه کاربرد چه كلماتى با هم صحيح و طبيعى است سخت است. برخى از تركيبات اگرچه از نظر معنا صحيح است اما براى خود انگليسى زبانان غير طبيعى است پس كاربرد اين تركيبات باهم غلط است. براى مثال اگر چه fast و quick هم معنا هستند اما در كاربرد:

✅fast cars
❌quick cars

✅fast food
❌quick food

✅a quick glance
❌a fast glance

✅a quick meal
❌a fast meal

يادگيرى كالوكيشن ها بخش مهمى از يادگيرى لغت و افزايش دامنه لغات در انگليسى است.
بعضى از كالوكيشن ها ثابت يا خيلى قوى هستند و هيچ كلمات دیگری بجز آنها نميتوانند جايگزين شوند براى مثال در عبارت take a photo هيچ كلمه ى ديگرى به جز take با photo قابل استفاده نيست.
ولى برخى ديگر از كالوكيشن ها به این شدت ثابت نیستند يعنى چند كلمه ى هم معنى ميتوانند با آن كلمات استفاده شوند و همه انها صحيح اند. براى مثال keep to the rules و stick to the rules هر دو صحيح اند. مثال هاى بيشترى از كالوكيشن ها را در ادامه ميبينيم:

You must make an effort and study for your exams.
(NOT do an effort)

Did you watch TV last night?
(NOT look at TV)

This car has a very powerful engine. It can do 200 km an hour.
(NOT strong engine)

There are some ancient monuments nearby.
(NOT antique monuments)

گاهى يك جفت از كلمات ممكن است كاملا اشتباه نباشند و مردم متوجه شوند منظور چه بوده ولى ممكن است نرمال و طبيعى نباشد براى مثال اگر كسى بگويد I did a few mistakes مردم مفهوم را متوجه ميشوند ولى كسى كه روان و درست صحبت ميكند به جاى ان عبارت ميگويد: I made a few mistakes.

✅تركيبات و اصطلاحات (Compounds and idioms):

➖تركيبات(compounds) دو يا چند كلمه ى معنى دار هستند. گاهى كلمات جدا نوشته ميشوند گاهى بينشان خط فاصله گذاشته ميشود و گاهى به صورت يك كلمه نوشته ميشوند. معمولا معناى تركيبات را ميتوان با يادگيرى معناى جداگانه هر كدام از كلمات فهميد. برخى از مثال هاى تركيبات:

car park
post office
narrow-minded
shoelaces, teapot

ولى به ياد داشته باشيد هميشه آسان نيست كه تركيبات و كالوكيشن ها را از هم جدا كنيم.

➖اصطلاحات(idioms): تركيبى از كلمات در يك ترتيب مشخص هستند كه معنايى دارند كه از معنای تک تک كلمه ها قابل حدس زدن نيست. براى مثال pass the buck يك اصطلاح است به معناى مسئوليت يك مشكل را گردن ديگرى انداختن و شانه خالى كردن که از معنای تک تک کلمات این اصطلاح نمیتوان به آن رسید.

✅اصلا چرا بايد كالوكيشن ها را ياد بگيريم؟

١-طبيعى ترين حالت استفاده از زبان را یاد‌‌ میگیریم براى مثال smoking is strictly forbidden طبيعى تر است از: smoking is strongly forbidden.

٢- به شما كلمات جايگزين را ياد ميدهد كه ميتواند صحبت شما را دقيق تر، تأثير گذار تر و متنوع تر كند. مثلا به جاى انكه very را در عبارات very cold و very dark تكرار كنيم ميتوانيم بگوييم:

It was bitterly cold and pitch dark.

٣- استايل نوشتار شما را در رايتينگ بهبود ميبخشد:
به جاى poverty causes crime, ميتوانيم بنويسيم poverty breeds crime;
به جاى a big meal ميتوانيد بنويسيد a substantial meal.
ممكن است در صحبت هاى عادى و غير رسمى نخواهيد كه از آنها استفاده كنيد ولى در نوشتار به متن شما تنوع ميبخشد و باعث ميشود خواننده آن را روان تر بخواند.

دو راه اصلى براى پيدا كردن كالوكيشن ها وجود دارد:

راه اول:

ميتوانيد به خودتان ياد بدهيد كه هر كجا انها را ديديد، خوانديد يا شنيديد كاربرد انها را ياد بگيريد. براى مثال در اين متن كوتاه انگليسى كالوكيشن هايى كه ارزش يادگرفتن را دارند پر رنگ شده اند:

After giving Mark a lift to the airport, Julie made her way home. What an exciting life he led! At times Julie felt desperately jealous of him. She spent her time doing little more than taking care of him and the children. Now her sister was getting divorced and would doubtless be making demands on her too. Julie had promised to give her sister a call as soon as she got home but she decided to run herself a bath first. She had a sharp pain in her side and hoped that a hot bath might ease the pain.

توجه كنيد:
سعي كنيد خودتان را عادت بدهيد كه هر كالوكيشن خوبى در هر متن انگليسى ميبينيد نت بردارى كنيد.

راه دوم:

كالوكيشن ها را ميتوانيد از هر ديكشنرى خوبى پيدا كنيد. مثل لانگمن، آكسفورد، كمبريج و … براى مثال اگر واژه sharp را در ديكشنرى پيدا كنيد اين كالوكيشن ها را با ان خواهيد ديد:

a sharp pain
a sharp bend/turn
a sharp contrast/difference/distinction
a sharp rise/increase/drop

توصيه ميشود هرگاه كلمه ى جديدى را در ديكشنرى سرچ ميكنيد چند كالوكيشن متفاوت را هم همراه با ان كلمه بنويسيد و ياد بگيريد.

2️⃣تثبيت كردن كالوكيشن ها:

بهترين راه ثبت كردن انها در ذهن، يادگيرى انها در يك عبارت يا در يك جمله است كه كاربردشان را نشان ميدهد. هنگام مطالعه كالوكيشن ها را با يك هايلايتر علامت گذارى كنيد يا زير انها خط بكشيد.

براى مثال:

I don’t have access to that kind of secret information.

يا:

Jim gave me a very useful piece of advice.

3️⃣يادگيرى كالوكيشن ها:

يادگيرى كالوكيشن ها خیلی متفاوت از يادگيرى تك كلمه ها نيست.
مهم ترين نكاتى كه بايد براى يادگيرى كالوكيشن ها بدانيد:

١- به طور منظم و هر چند وقت يكبار نوت هاى خود را مرور كنيد.

٢- سعى كنيد انچه را كه ميخواهيد ياد بگيريد در متنى به كار ببريد كه براى خودتان شخصاً مفهوم دارد و در ذهنتان ميماند.

٣- كالوكيشن ها را به صورت گروهى ياد بگيريد تا به شما كمك كند در حافظه تان بماند. ميتوانيد انها را به صورت مبحثى ياد بگيريد مثلا كالوكيشن هاى مبحث family.
يا اينكه ميتوانيد كالوكيشن هاى متفاوتى كه مربوط به يك كلمه است را ياد بگيريد.

براى مثال:

📌I must find a way to help him.

📌Can you find your way back to my house?

📌I learnt the hard way that Jack can’t be trusted.

📌Please tell me if I’m getting in your way.

📌You must give way to traffic from the left.

📌I’ve tried every possible way to get him to change his mind.

با استفاده از يك ديكشنرى خوب ميتوانيد كالوكيشن هاى هر كلمه را پيدا كنيد.
گاهى اين اطلاعات به صورت خاصى هايلايت شده اند. در غير اين صورت مثال هاى موجود در ديكشنرى ها شامل رايج ترين كالوكيشن ها ميشود.

مثلا در ديكشنرى (Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (CALD كالوكيشن هاى رايج و كاربردى با كلمات پررنگ نوشته شده اند. براى مثال عكس زير مثالى از واژه pain و كالوكيشن هاى كاربردى ان در اين ديكشنرى است:

ديكشنرى همچنين ميتواند به شما بگويد ان كالوكيشن رسمى است يا غير رسمى. (formal or informal). براى مثال كالوكيشن to take somebody up on an offer يك كالوكيشن غير رسمى است.  ولى accept an offer ميتواند جايگزين رسمى ترى باشد.

توجه كنيد كه وقتى يك ديكشنرى را ميخريد يا دانلود ميكنيد مطمئن شويد كه اطلاعات مفيد و واضحى از كالوكيشن ها به شما ميدهد. وقتى كلمه اى را در ديكشنرى جست و جو ميكنيد اگر كالوكيشن هاى ان را نميدانيد حتما انها را هايلايت كنيد يا انها را يادداشت كنيد و مرتبا تكرار كنيد.

كالوكيشن ها انواع خيلى زيادى دارند كه در اين درس مهم ترين انها را بررسى ميكنيم:

Words associated with fire and heat often suggest anger in English. A heated debate, a heated discussion or a heated conversation is one in which people disagree in an angry way with each other. If you say that someone has a fiery temper, you mean that they often get suddenly angry.

✅heated debate

✅heated discussion

✅heated conversation
(هر سه به معناى جر و بحث جنجالى)

✅a fiery temper
(خلق و خوى زود جوش)

The word flare means show a bright light in the dark. If you say tempers flared, you mean that people became angry with each other. Similarly violence flares up and troubles flare up. These all mean that problems which existed in the past suddenly become serious again.

However, not all metaphors relating to fire suggest anger. If you feel very embarrassed, your cheeks burn with embarrassment. A blaze is a very bright fire. We talk about a blaze of glory or a blaze of publicity meaning there is a lot of it and it is spectacular.

✅tempers flared
(خشمگين شدن)

✅violence flares up
(خشونت بالا ميگيرد)

✅troubles flare up
(دردسر بالا ميگيرد)

Light in English is associated with happiness. So a face shines with pleasure and eyes shine with excitement or delight.

We stayed in a small, family-run hotel.

The Panorama is a rather run-down hotel in a back street near the city centre.

The Palace is a luxury hotel on the main square of Porto Alegre.

Family relationships

Sociologists talk about nuclear and extended families. A nuclear family is just parents and children. An extended family is a wider network including grandparents, cousins, etc.

Close relatives are those like parents, children, brothers or sisters. Distant relatives are people like second cousins [the children of a cousin of your mother or father] or distant cousins.

✅nuclear families
(خانواده كوچك فقط پدرمادر و خواهر برادر)

✅extended families
( خانواده هاى بزرگ با مادربزرگ، خاله و…)

✅Distant relatives
(فاميل هاى دور)

Close/immediate family refers to people who are your nearest blood relatives: I don’t have much close/immediate family.

She’s a distant cousin of mine; she’s not a blood relative.

Close can also be used to mean that the relationship is a very strong one:

We are a very close family. or We are a very close-knit family.

I’ve never had any desire to go on the stage myself but I’d love to produce a film. I think historical dramas work particularly well on the big screen and I’d love to make a film about Vikings in Britain. There’d be plenty of opportunities to use special effects during battle scenes. I’d want the male lead to be played by Hugh Jackman, while Jennifer Lawrence could have the female lead.

You may not find what you need first time, but there are a lot of online resources to help you search effectively. For example, many search engines have ‘hints and tips’ pages which show you how to use them more efficiently and this can help you to refine your search .

It’s important to evaluate sites critically , so check who wrote the information and when.

One way to access reliable information is to subscribe to online journals to get more information on specific topics such as medicine, science etc.You can often search by keyword in back issues to find older articles that might be relevant.

And remember, once you’ve found information you want to use, don’t just copy and paste it into your essay! You will need to rewrite the information in your own words. Be sure you keep a record of the source so you can reference it correctly in your work.

When did you first go into business?

Jeffries:

I set up a small business selling office equipment in 2001. Then in 2003, I went into partnership with my old friend, Ethan Smith. We made a loss for the first two years, but then things got better and we’ve made a profit for most years ever since. But there have been bad times, too.

Finally, there are rumours that you may float the company on the stock market. At the moment we have no intention of going public . People shouldn’t believe
