在基础雅思阅读的教学过程中,常会发现学员常常会面临一个共同的问题词汇习得。在此,针对一些现象谈谈我的看法。现在的学员很难会看到他们再像从前的我们,人手一本字典每天的翻来覆去。电子词典的便利给学员们带来的快捷,也带来mistake。随手拈来几个例子,在这请读者朋友看看:龙吉祥之物,不然怎么会说 我们是龙的传人,又怎会有:望子成龙的压力。然而,好多的电子字典都把龙翻译成了dragon。果真如此吗?看看以下的英语词典对该词的解释,译成中文是:dragon为传说中的有翼、有巨爪、披鳞、喷火、蛇形的怪物。 Brewers Dictionary of Phrase and Fable 说:In Christian Art, the dragon symbolizes Satan or sin。撒切尔夫人有一年在保守党年会上谈过她的内阁政绩之后说:......but we have other dragons to kill。很明显,在英语中dragon是贬义的词汇,拿来译中文的龙本来就不妥。所以,在基础阶段的雅思阅读培训中,不是单纯地教会学员要如何熟练地综合运用解题技巧,更要告知学员们雅思阅读高频词汇的拼写,词义以及地道的运用。在大家眼里,这些都是琐碎不能再琐碎的东西。但是,这些恰恰就是雅思阅读的基础。如果学员们的脚下所踩的不是这块基石,那么很有可能,单纯的学习阅读的技巧只会让学员们在今后的学会hop。
至于学习词汇,应试的基本功就是去记忆。谁也别想逃脱这种命运。(当然,也要看你的雅思目标分数)。我始终推崇词根记忆。就像我们在学习中文一样,边背着笔画,一边也就写出了生字。当然,雅思的阅读词汇跟听力词汇的记忆方法不一样,这里倒是可以偷懒的。尽管你不会拼,但认识就好。vis-=watch 看、见拉丁v-与原生词w-与汉语的k-、kw-有一定的对应关系:
way(道路) = via(经过,道路)
watch(看) = vide(参看)
wide(宽的, 广阔的) = vast(巨大的, 辽阔的)
所以,中英文也是互相促进的。
