  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。
  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
  ⒉下列 6 个动词的共同意思是“减少”: decrease, lessen, diminish, reduce, abate, dwindle
  ⒊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.
