当我们在学习基本语法和句法的同时,也开始学词汇,终身不停。
学词汇的方法很多,学习效果也不同;有些方法的效果比较好,有些则差些。
有个特别值得推荐的方法是联想。例如从party这个字,可以联想到其他的字,如:meeting, assembly, seminar, negotiation 等。
现在看看下列 8 组字,如何凑在一起:
⒈下列 6 个动词的共同意思是伤害或破坏:
damage, harm, hurt, impair, injure, mar
⒉下列 6 个动词的共同意思是减少:
decrease, lessen, diminish, reduce, abate, dwindle
⒊下列 6 个名词的中心意思是武装叛变:
rebellion, revolution, uprising, revolt, mutiny, insurrection
⒋下列 7 个名词都含有边缘之意: edge, brink, brim, rim, verge, border, margin
⒌下列 7 个名词都含有 路之意: way, road , path , route, passage, street, aveune
⒍下列 7 个形容词都含有著名之意: famous, renowned, celebrated, noted, distinguished, eminent, illustrious
⒎下列 7 个形容词都含有快速之意:
fast, rapid, swift, quick, speedy, hasty, expeditious
⒏下列 9 个动词含胜过或克服之意:
conquer, defeat, vanquish, overcome, beat, rout, surmount, subdue, overthrow
上述 8 组字,每组都有个中心意思。在学习词汇时,若能将意思有关联的字词或习语摆在一起,通过联想来记忆,不但轻松而且还很有效。必须注意的是,虽然几个字有共同的意思,但是每个字在句子中的用法,难免会有些差别,不可不察。
