建议的近义词 只需换掉“say”

建议的近义词(只需换掉“say”)
很多人在写英文文章 , 要引用別人说的话时 , 就只会写:She says…My teacher says…Aristotle says…
难道 , 「说」永远都只会用“say”吗?其实不是只有 say 这个动词可以用现在把各种「说」的英文学起来 , 你的作文会瞬间 level up噢!
什么是 Reporting Verbs?
“说”在很多不同情况下其实都有更加明确的说法 , 不是只有单纯的谁说了什么话 , 有时候可能是带有一些情感或是有些意义的 , 例如:他“指出”、他“形容”、他“声称”、他“提到”、他“主张”……等等 。
在英文中也有很多这类的动词 , 我们称为“reporting verbs”  , 意指发表、陈述事情的动词 , 能够让你写作时更切中文章所想表达的意思及情境 , 不再只单纯的陈述谁说了什么 。
这在 academic writing 中也是非常重要的 , 在写报告或做研究时 , 我们常常需要引用別人的话来做为参考 , 此时就会需要用到这些动词 , 例如:Smith argues that…/ Dr. Lin suggests that…
