學(xué)詞語(yǔ)的辦法不少,學(xué)習(xí)成效也不同;有的辦法的成效最好,有的則差些。
有個(gè)特別值得推薦的辦法是聯(lián)想。比如從party這個(gè)字,可以聯(lián)想到其他的字,如:meeting, as百度競(jìng)價(jià)推廣bly, 百度競(jìng)價(jià)推廣inar, negotiation1 等。
目前看看下列 8 組字,怎么樣湊在一塊:
⒈下列 6 個(gè)動(dòng)詞的一同意思是傷害或破壞:damage, harm, hurt, impair2, injure, mar3
⒉下列 6 個(gè)動(dòng)詞的一同意思是降低:decrease, lessen4, diminish, reduce, abate5, dwindle6
⒊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, brink7, brim, rim8, verge9, border, margin10
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, renowned12, celebrated13, noted14, distinguished15, eminent16, illustrious
⒎下列 7 個(gè)形容詞都含有迅速之意:fast, rapid, swift, quick, speedy, hasty, expeditious17
⒏下列 9 個(gè)動(dòng)詞含勝過(guò)或克服之意:conquer, defeat, vanquish18, overcome, beat, rout11, surmount19, subdue20, overthrow21
上述 8 組字,每組都有個(gè)中心意思。在學(xué)習(xí)詞語(yǔ)時(shí),若能將意思有關(guān)聯(lián)的字詞或習(xí)語(yǔ)擺在一塊,通過(guò)聯(lián)想來(lái)記憶,不但輕松而且還非常有效。需要注意的是,雖然幾個(gè)字有一同的意思,但每一個(gè)字在句子中的使用方法,難免會(huì)有的差別,不可不察。
目前舉個(gè)和laugh(笑)有關(guān)的動(dòng)詞,來(lái)講明這點(diǎn)。
