掌握英語單詞是掌握英語交際技能的第一步?，F(xiàn)在讓我們閱讀下面的訣竅，了解該如何掌握英語單詞。

Begin at your present level. If your vocabulary is small， work gradually to improvein constant1， small steps.

從你目前的水平開始。如果你的詞匯量很小，就要循序漸進(jìn)地提高。

Look up the dictionary. A dictionary is a good resource2 for learning andmastering English words. Whenever you come across an unfamiliar word， look upthe word. Then， look at other words that share the same root words. Associating3unfamiliar words with known words that share the same root can be a great wayto build vocabulary. Learn a root so that you can learn many other words basedon that root.

查字典。字典是學(xué)習(xí)和掌握英語單詞的好資源。每當(dāng)你遇到一個不熟悉的單詞，就查一下這個單詞。然后，看看其他具有相同詞根的單詞。將不熟悉的單詞與具有相同詞根的已知單詞聯(lián)系起來是提高詞匯量的好方法。學(xué)習(xí)一個詞根，這樣你就可以根據(jù)這個詞根學(xué)習(xí)許多其他單詞。

Prepare a study schedule. Follow your schedule. It’s good if you can spend 10minutes per day—daily usage and practice will help fastest.

準(zhǔn)備一份學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃表。遵循你的計(jì)劃表。如果你每天能花10 分鐘的時(shí)間，那就很好了———每天的使用和練習(xí)對你的效果是最快的。

Say each word as you read it. This is very important. Make sure yourpronunciation is correct. It is especially important for non -native4 speakersto do this as English letters and pronunciations may be different from yournative5 language.

邊閱讀邊說出每個單詞。這很重要。確保你的發(fā)音正確。對于非母語人士來說，這樣做尤其重要，因?yàn)橛⑽淖帜负桶l(fā)音可能與你的母語不同。

Write down the definition of any new word you learn. Write a few sentencesusing the words too. This will help them stick in your head， along with the meanings.

寫下你所學(xué)的任何新詞的定義，也用這些單詞寫幾個句子。這將有助于它們和它們的含義一起留在你的腦海中。

Read your sentences aloud， making sure to pronounce carefully. Repeat theword you learn each day. If your English skills are quite advanced， why notcombine6 the vocabulary you’ve learnt over a number of days， perhaps a week， or 10days， into a short story？

大聲朗讀你的句子，注意詞的發(fā)音。每天重復(fù)你學(xué)的單詞。如果你的英語水平很高，為什么不把你幾天，也許一周，或者10 天學(xué)到的詞匯組合成一個短篇故事呢？
