in broad agreement 广泛的达成协议, 其中broad可以跟很多单词构成地道词汇搭配,比如: a broad avenue, a broad smile, broad shoulders, a broad accent, 这些词组看起来比较简单, 大家是否能够准确的道出其中的含义呢, broad除了大家熟知的"宽的, 普遍的"意思外, 请看剑桥词典中的其他解释:

语法范畴:词汇搭配多样性
1.尝试运用“Verb + Noun”词汇搭配:
(1).比如: 列一份名单, 拟定一份合同。很多人会写成:make a list, make a contract,基本上都是一个make行天下; 其实,用draw up替代make会是一个更好的选择,因为合同是一份正式的书面文件,例句:Our layer drew up a contract for us to sign.
(2).比如:错过机会,多数人首先想到的会是:miss an opportunity;其实,用pass up the chance/opportunity 会更加出彩, 例句: I can"t believe she passed up the chance to go to South America.
(3).比如: 经受,忍受;可以用withstand替换bear,例句:She is an artist whose work will undoubtedly withstand the test of time. 我们在这里不是简单的学习单词替换,而是要了解什么样的单词搭配才是地道的!
2.尝试运用“Noun + Verb”的词组搭配:
比如:如果有机会的话说,我会去中国。很多伙伴可能会写: If I get a chance,I"d like to go to China.其实, 我们完全可以写成: Should the opportunity arise,I"d like to go to China.其中的arise,还可作"起床"的意思,有没有一直在用get out of bed,请看字典怎么说:
再看一个例句体会用法: People feel educational standards slippedwhen the government cut finances.
3.尝试运用“Noun + Noun”的词组搭配:
名词词组搭配通常用于形容数量,比如: a large number of people, large amounts of,再比如书中提到:a spate of attacts/attacks(大量突发事件),a barrage of question(接二连三的问题),a stroke of(意外好运,三生有幸),请看下面更多例句和解释:
4.其他形式的词组搭配积累:
Adjective + Noun:
(1).This is not an idle threat;I will call the police if this happens again.
(2).There is a mounting concern /criticism /furyover the decision. 其中mounting意思是: 增加的;加剧的. 这句话可用于雅思写作开头段引入话题,比如:There is a mounting concern over the discussion that wheather universities should only impart academic knowledge to students or teach them job-related skills. 此外,mounting debts 越来越多的债务; mounting anxiety/excitement 不断增长的焦虑/兴奋;平时学习的过程中,我们需要多积累类似的地道表达,进行遣词造句。
Adverb + adjective:
(1).The article provides an intensely personalaccount of the writer"s relationship with his son.
(2).Joe"s sister was a stunningly attractivewoman.
Verb + adverb or prepositional phrase:

(2).I don"t like to trave with my brother because he drives recklessly.
