附：如何背單詞?
1、借梯上樓法
我們稍微留心一下就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，盡管漢字和英語(yǔ)單詞是兩種截然不同的語(yǔ)言文字，但它們有著共同的表現(xiàn)形式：漢語(yǔ)拼音字母與英文字母同形。這就使得某些漢字的拼音字母組合與一些英語(yǔ)單詞的英文字母組合恰好相同。對(duì)于常用的漢字，我們已基本上爛熟于心，若利用漢語(yǔ)拼音為中介與英語(yǔ)單詞進(jìn)行奇特聯(lián)想，就能既快又牢地記住英語(yǔ)單詞。我們都知道，漢語(yǔ)里有異音異義的同形字，英語(yǔ)里有異音異義的同形詞，而我們這里采用的可以說(shuō)是一種特殊的 漢英同形字詞記憶法 。在此，我們將漢語(yǔ)拼音比作梯子，記住了單詞喻為上樓，故稱為 借梯上樓法 。
1 ban n. 禁令，禁止 〔頒〈ban〉布禁令〕
2 die v. 死，死亡 〔諜〈die〉報(bào)工作危險(xiǎn)，多是九死一生〕
3 hang vi. 懸掛，吊著 〔吊著嗓子，引吭〈hang〉高歌〕
4 pin n. 別針，針飾 〔針飾是精品〈pin〉〕
5 song n. 歌曲，歌聲 〔送〈song〉你一首歌〕
2、庖丁解牛法
當(dāng)一些英語(yǔ)單詞比較長(zhǎng)而無(wú)法用合成記憶法和構(gòu)詞分析法來(lái)識(shí)記時(shí)，我們就可以運(yùn)用庖丁解牛法嘗試一下。此法原理出自中學(xué)課本里的古文《庖丁解牛》所記敘的故事。文中說(shuō)庖丁在解剖牛體時(shí)，技藝高超，動(dòng)作敏捷，姿態(tài)優(yōu)雅，原因就是他對(duì)牛體的骨架脈絡(luò)結(jié)構(gòu)了然在胸,知道關(guān)鍵環(huán)節(jié)之所在，故能操刀自如，游刃有余。據(jù)此，對(duì)于那些較長(zhǎng)的單詞，我們可以先仔細(xì)觀察其詞形特征，從便于記憶的角度出發(fā)，將其人為地分解成自己所熟悉的單詞、英文字母和漢語(yǔ)拼音、拼音字母或拼音的首字母，然后用奇特聯(lián)想法串起來(lái)，造成了深刻印象，就能達(dá)到以舊帶新、速記單詞的目的。庖丁解牛法實(shí)際上就是合成記憶法、構(gòu)詞分析法以及借梯上樓法融合之后的演變，當(dāng)屬英語(yǔ)單詞的 說(shuō)文解字 之三。
1 ache vi./n. 疼痛 〔一扯〈che〉繃帶，傷口就疼〕
2 banquet n. 宴會(huì)〔宴會(huì)未過(guò)半〈ban〉，賓客卻〈que〉退〈t〉席〕

4 desire v./n. 愿望，要求〔愿望得〈de〉到滿足，先生見(jiàn)到嫦娥〈e〉〕
