刘畅词汇6000学习笔记

英语单词记忆下载https://www.wendangku.net/doc/2415076893.html, 刘畅词汇Flash 请到 1-1学习词汇注意的问题 1、单词的英文解释和例句 例：The oppressed ____ freedom. [ A ] A. demand B. require C. request oppress →op+press press 挤，压→pressure 压力 op=against 因此oppressed 为“压迫”的意思→oppressed 被压迫的 the+形容词表示一类人 “被压迫的人____自由”那么ABC 选项应选择什么？ 这题就暴露出一个问题：我们是按汉语记单词的，ABC 的中文意思中都有“要求”的意思。 但是汉语只能大概的描述英文，不能百分之百的精准的解释英文。 我们看一下ABC 的英文解释： demand ：ask for firmly, unwilling to accept a refusal.强烈地要求，并不情愿接受拒绝 require ：the ruler set a rule with the expectation that it will be obeyed.统治者期望自己的命令规定会被遵守。（如老师要求你完成作业，老板要求你完成工作） request ：ask for politely.礼貌地要求 单词的例句有两点好处： 1）一个好的例句是最能准确说明单词最本源含义的句子 2）给写作文的时候打下扎实的基础 “不满意”怎么说呢？第一想到satisfied →content 大部分单词我们只能达到认识（第一重境界），却达不到会运用（第二重境界） 2、单词的熟词生意 late “死亡” house “坐落于”，如Beijing neworiental school is housed in Haidian district. tell “我能够看出来”正确的英文怎么说？I can tell. brave “勇敢地面对”，如国歌中的“冒着敌人的炮火，前进，前进，前进进”brave the enemies' gunfire, march on, march on, march on, on, on... 3、单词的发音 语音的基础是一个单词一个单词地读 postcard 名信片，我们对单词的发音，并不敏感，只对单词的拼写和中文意思敏感 pig ，第一反应就是“猪” 建设每天花5分钟时间跟读单词，读准后再背单词，这样单词才会背得立体 1-2词汇的记忆方法 一、形象化记忆词汇的方法 人们对于图像的存储速度要远远高于对于语言符号的存储速度。 检验一下我们的“智商”！！开始记忆： 一把大汤勺，四个高脚杯，湖水，肥皂，鸡蛋，面包，玫瑰花，云雾，江河湖海 这是很难记忆下来的，如果我们给一些简单的图片，如下： 把这个理论用到单词的记忆上，就可以把枯燥的单词转变成一幅 幅生动的画面。 (1)chill 名词“寒冷”，动词“使寒冷”. 把C 想象成天空一弯明月，hill ，小山的意思 (2)image 名词“形象，印象” ma 妈妈的感觉，age 年龄，上了年纪，把i 想象成一根红红的蜡烛
