學(xué)詞匯的方法很多,學(xué)習(xí)效果也不同;有些方法的效果比較好,有些則差些。
廣州昂立國際英語老師說,有個(gè)特別值得推薦的方法是“聯(lián)想”。例如從“party”這個(gè)字,可以聯(lián)想到其他的字,如:meeting, assembly, seminar, negotiation 等。
現(xiàn)在看看下列 8 組字,如何湊在一起:
⒈下列 6 個(gè)動(dòng)詞的共同意思是“傷害”或“破壞”:
damage, harm, hurt, impair, injure, mar
2.下列 6 個(gè)動(dòng)詞的共同意思是“減少”:
decrease, lessen, diminish, reduce, abate, dwindle
3.下列 6 個(gè)名詞的中心意思是“武裝叛變”:
rebellion, revolution, uprising, revolt, mutiny, insurrection
⒋下列 7 個(gè)名詞都含有“邊緣”之意: edge, brink, brim, rim, verge, border, margin
⒌下列 7 個(gè)名詞都含有“ 路”之意: way, road , path , route, passage, street, aveune
⒍下列 7 個(gè)形容詞都含有“著名”之意: famous, renowned, celebrated, noted, distinguished, eminent, illustrious
⒎下列 7 個(gè)形容詞都含有“快速”之意:
fast, rapid, swift, quick, speedy, hasty, expeditious
⒏下列 9 個(gè)動(dòng)詞含“勝過”或“克服”之意:
conquer, defeat, vanquish, overcome, beat, rout, surmount, subdue, overthrow
上述 8 組字,每組都有個(gè)中心意思。在學(xué)習(xí)詞匯時(shí),若能將意思有關(guān)聯(lián)的字詞或習(xí)語擺在一起,通過聯(lián)想來記憶,不但輕松而且還很有效。必須注意的是,雖然幾個(gè)字有共同的意思,但是每個(gè)字在句子中的用法,難免會(huì)有些差別,不可不察。
現(xiàn)在舉個(gè)和“l(fā)augh”(笑)有關(guān)的動(dòng)詞,來說明這點(diǎn)。
① The President smiled(微笑) as he went past the crowd.
② His joke made us laugh(發(fā)笑).
③ The spectators jeered(嘲笑) when their team was defeated.
④ The audience roared with rage(暴笑如雷).
⑤ If you tease(揶揄) her again, she will get angry.
⑥ The pupils giggled(格格地笑) on seeing the teacher fall down.
⑦ The crowd booed(喝倒采) when the referee made a mistake.
⑧ The listeners hooted(輕蔑地叫喊) at the ignorant speaker.
⑨ Irene sat at a corner, chuckling(輕聲暗笑) to herself.
⑩The naughty girl grinned(露齒而笑) in response to her mother's question.
