之前有个段子,一家长发朋友圈说自己孩子四岁,现在有1500的词汇量,是不是不太够啊?
下面有人回复说:“在美国肯定够了,在海淀肯定不够。”
调侃一线城市小朋友学习压力过大之余,有人会好奇,母语为英语的小孩词汇量到底有多大?
英国文化协会为小朋友准备的词汇游戏里的词,试试看你是否认识。
有人可能会被igloo 再看这个对应游戏:
hedgehog 母语者词汇量表现
词汇量测试网站testyourvocab在两百多万份测试结果的基础上给出了一份词汇报告。他们发现4岁母语者词汇量平均已经达到5000。
► Most adult native test-takers range from 20,000–35,000 words
大多数成年母语者的词汇量在20000到35000个之间。
► Average native test-takers of age 8 already know 10,000 words
8岁母语者平均已经掌握了10000个词汇。
► Average native test-takers of age 4 already know 5,000 words
4岁母语者平均已经掌握5000个词汇。
► Adult test-taker vocabulary growth basically stops at middle age
成年测试者的词汇量在中年时期基本停止增长。

1读小说准没错
老生常谈有道理,阅读是构筑词汇量的得力帮手——reading builds your vocabulary。 读小说多的人表现尤其抢眼,爱读小说的30岁人群词汇量中位数超30000。
For native vocabulary growth, while increasing your reading matters, increasing your reading of fiction, specifically, matters equally as much.
从母语者的词汇增长来看,阅读当然是很重要的,不过具体来说,读小说也同样重要。
2母语者的词汇量增长趋势15岁就基本定型了
成人母语者的词汇量基本是由其4-15岁的阅读习惯决定的。
Native adult vocabulary size appears to be principally determined by
reading habits between ages 4 and 15.
非母语者词汇量表现
全球非母语者,很多是英语学习者,他们的表现也很亮眼,大多数人落在了2000-10000这个区间。

此外,研究人员发现,词汇量大的学习者有这么几个特征:英语课成绩很好、课上踊跃发言提问、觉得学英语很简单……课外学习方式常常包括看剧、听歌、写作、旅游等。
Academic performance helps, up to doubling your vocabulary size. Classroom participation matters too, but it's not the top factor. It appears to give you up to a 50% boost in vocabulary. Outside of class is the biggest difference. Students who do "lots" of things in English outside of class have more than twice the vocabulary of those who "don't do much."
很多英语学习者有考试的需要。研究人员搜集了测试者的雅思和托福分数,来看看你的词汇量大概对标多少分。
1雅思 动图显示,雅思分数6、6.5、7、7.5、8、8.5分别对应的词汇量是6641、7393、8404、10243、13274、18169,而9分则对应超过26000词,典型母语者标准了。
2托福 托福这边也是类似的情况。考90分要将近9000词,考110以上,要具备至少13666个词。
如果只是需要通过考试,下面这些词汇量大概就够用了。
◆ 中考 1500-1700
◆ 高考 3500-4000
◆ 四级 4200-4500
◆ 六级 5500-6000
◆ 专四 7000-8000
◆ 专八 13000
◆ 雅思 7500
◆ 托福 9000
◆ GRE 16000 – 上不封顶
