附:背单词有什么方法之音义联想法
世界上任何民族的语言,都存在一些模拟大自然声响的拟声词。例如,汉语中有模拟狗叫的. 汪汪 声、模拟物体坍塌的 哗啦 声和模拟敲锣的 当当 声。英语中不仅有拟声词,而且还有音译词,它们和汉语中的拟声词一样,其发音与词义有着紧密的联系,易于联想便于记忆。受拟声词和音译词记忆效果的启发,我们可以有意识地利用汉语的发音模拟英语单词的读音,并将单词的读音与其词义联想起来进行记忆,这种方法叫做音义联想法或者谐音法。该法能达到闻其声知其义的效果,读过两遍即可做到过 耳 不忘。使用音义联想法时必须注意:①掌握国际音标的准确拼读。②要因词施用,不可勉强而为。③只把谐音作为记忆单词的辅助手段和提示线索,不依赖谐音拼读单词。
1 模拟生物或物体发出声响的拟声词。
① cough n./vi. 咳嗽 ② tick n.滴答声
2 由单词发音转化而来的音译词
③ engine n.引擎,发动机 ④ humour n.幽默
3 将单词发音与其词义进行联想的谐音词。
