1.典故法:
英语中有很多词是来自于一个典故的,这种典故有可能是人、事、物或者古希腊罗马神话,掌握了这个典故就可以帮助你更好地背诵以及理解这个单词的精确含义。
比如narcissism一词的典故:Narcissus是一名俊美的希腊青年,他拒绝了女神Echo的求爱,所以他注定会爱上他自己在湖中的倒影,作为惩罚。因为没法令他的爱变得完满,他日益消瘦,最后变成了一朵以他命名的花那西赛斯,也就是水仙花。而narcissism则表示这位青年才俊的自恋行为,也就是自恋的意思。
2. 拆分法:
顾名思义,把一个词按自己便于记忆的方法拆分开,从而把这个词给记住。虽然不如词根词缀记忆如此有效,但是一旦遇到,效果依然很理想。比如:adamant这个词,意思为坚定的,我们可以把这个词拆解为三部分:a+dam+ant 一只站在大坝上的蚂蚁,虽然说风浪很大,但它一依然屹立不到,自然就有坚定的感觉了。
3. 谐音法:
根据一个单词的读音,与这个词的词义联系起来,从而相应地把这个词给记住。比如有个词stubborn,意思是顽固的,你可以把这个词记为死大笨,这三个形容词非常具有顽固的感觉了。
再譬如morbid,意思是病态的不正常的,你可以读为毛病的,就马上记住了。还有个词pest就更好背了,谐音为拍死它,马上就可以联想到它的词义:害虫。这个GRE词汇记忆方法是最重要的一个,也是最有效的一个,大家一定要在备考中学会应用。
