2013-10-28 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。广州昂立国际英语 老师 说，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 2.下列 6 个动词的共同意思是“减少”： decrease, lessen, diminish, reduce, abate, dwindle 3.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。现在举个和“laugh”(笑)有关的动词，来说明这点。

① The President smiled(微笑) as he went past the crowd. ② His joke made us laugh(发笑). 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(轻蔑地叫喊) at the ignorant speaker. ⑨ Irene sat at a corner, chuckling(轻声暗笑) to herself. ⑩The naughty girl grinned(露齿而笑) in response to her mother's question. 【广州英语培训学校】
