作为语言构成的基本要素,词汇所导致的听力障碍在诸多英语学习者当中可谓是屡见不鲜。在听力训练开始前,扫除那些因词汇而导致的听力障碍可谓是势在必行。所以听懂听通得首先解决生词问题。
虽然VOA Special English所采用的词汇相对较少,句型也比较简单,但还是有许多人听不懂,原因在于:其一,有些单词你觉得比较熟悉,但在听的时候就是反应不过来或者反应太慢。其二,文章中另外存在着几类学习者不熟悉的词汇,比如说一些专有名词、一些用户不常用或者很少接触到的生僻词汇、一些发音上比较困难或者是读音相近,但意思却不同的词汇。或者是一些词汇虽然常用,由于采用了不常用的含义,或者使用了单词的其它形式或短语,从而导致理解的偏差;如:headed;tempering;burn up;development n. 病;开发;condition n.等等,针对这些单词,要求学习者先行了解,这样就会消除听力上的词汇障碍。
正如平常我们在运动前总是要做一些热身那样,尽量活动自身肌体的每一处肌肉和关节,以避免或减少剧烈运动可能带来的伤害。听力训练也是如此,对于那些比较生疏,比较艰涩,比较专业的词汇,尽量听得越熟越好。
