关于本教程中记忆方法的说明(英语学习)
关于本教程中记忆方法的说明
本教程主要采用语音对比法、词根词缀法、语境举例法、谐音记忆法、分类
意群法。贯穿始终的是语音对比法。下面先解释一下这个方法:我们知道,绝大部
分英语的词汇是来自于日耳曼语(英语就是日耳曼语的支系)、拉丁语和希腊语,
而这三种语言又恰巧源自于同一祖先:古印欧语,因而它们之间就存在着语音上的
联系。这种语音上的联系主要指辅音之间的联系,而元音之间的相互联系就更常见
了。举例而言,英语中某些不规则动词的变位就反映了这一点,如:sing (CET4), sang, sung; 再如:band (CET4) (TEM4), bend (CET4) (DEE) (TEM4), bind (CET4) (MEE) (DEE) (TEM4), binder (TEM4), binding (TEM4), bond (CET4) (AWL6) (MEE) (DEE) (TEM4), bundle (CET4) (MEE) (TEM4), ribbon (CET4) (TEM4)这些词都含有
弯曲、缠绕、约束这样的共同意思,它们实际上是源自于一个共同的原始词。再举
辅音的例子。辅音之间的对应关系相对复杂一些,但也很有规律。简而言之,就是
发音器官相近的辅音往往有意义上的关联(具体的对应关系参见下一页的

bher-是古印欧语词根,意为bear, 携带、生育,与它对应的日耳曼语词、拉
丁语词(根)、希腊语词(根)分别是bear, fer-, phor. 由bher-这个词根经过漫长
的演变在英语中扎根的词有许多,其中GRE词汇(俞敏洪编)就有37个。

Consonant Changes in Some Indo-European Languages
This table summarizes how the consonants of Indo-European (I-E) changed in Common Germanic (CG), Latin (L), and Greek (Gk) – the three languages that are the direct or indirect sources of most of our English words. The changes are very consistent for consonants at the beginning of a sore, less so for those in the middles or at the end (Vowel changes – even less consistent- have been
omitted.)
Note however, that in a few cases a sound changed differently in the same language. For example, BH in Indo- European usually became F in Latin – but sometimes B Similarly, GW in Indo-
European become B, D, or G in Greek.
The changes are sometimes obscured by spelling conventions. For example, in Latin both W and U were spelled V (see note 3 below). In all cases, the table gives the actual sound first, follower by the spelling, if it differs. (For both Indo-European and Common Germanic the spelling is that of modern scholars, neither language was ever written down.)
I-E CG L Gk
B P B B 1BH B F (sometimes B) F (spelled PH)
D T D D 1DH D F (sometimes D) TH 2G K G G 1GH G H KH
GW KW or K GW (spelled GV) or B, D, or G 3W/V 1GWH G or B F TH, KH, or F (spelled PH) 4K H K (spelled C) K 5KW HW KW (spelled QU) P, T, or K
L unchanged in all
M unchanged in all
N unchanged in all
P F P P
R unchanged in all 6S S S H
T TH T T 37W W W/V or U (spelled V) (lost)
Y Y (spelled J) Y (spelled I/J) H or Z
1. Greek PH, TH, and KH are English transliterations of the Greek letters phi (,), theta (,), and chi (,),
the last pronounced something like the CH in Scottish “loch” or Yiddish “chutzpah.”
2. Common Germanic K was spelled C in Old English, in many words its sound shifted to CH, and is now so spelled.
3. Latin V originally stood for both U and W ; later the W sound became V.
4. In Latin the pronunciation of K (spelled C) later shifted to CH or S before I or E, as in modern Italian and French respectively.
5. Spelled WH in modern English.
6. Indo-European SK was unchanged in Common Germanic (and remained so in Old Norse), but became SH in the western Germanic tongue, including Old English.
7. Indo-European W is found in the very early Greek of the Linear B documents, and occasionally in Homer, in Classical Greek it simply vanished.

abacus (DEE) (TEM4)
谐音记忆 "阿爸酷死": 阿爸是个accountant (TEM4),他打abacus的时候,只见abacus珠上下翻飞,简直酷死了。Abacus 是由frame, rod (CET4) (MEE) (DEE) (TEM4) or wire, bead ? (DEE) (TEM4)和 decimal place构成的,其作用是 calculate.

谐音记忆 "饿半顿":最新的科学研究结果
表
关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf
明,人们只需吃平时饭量的70%就完全可以维持身体的需要,另外的30%不仅无用,还会使身体产生更多的free radicals(自由基),对人们的身体健康造成危害,但没有人为此就少吃饭,因为人们无法克服没有吃饱时肠胃产生的饥饿感。如果不信,你可以试试,"饿半顿",你就“放弃”了。在本书的开头,有一句话:Abandon all misgivings, you who enter! I'll
lead you to the zenith (1050)! 这是我对通过本书学习GRE词汇的各位Gter的鼓励,同时如果大家坚持用我介绍给大家的方法进行词汇记忆,相信大家很快就会看见成效。(by the way, 大家有没有觉得gter 都很jitter,紧张兮兮的)当然上面那句话是根据意大利作家Dante(但丁)的Inferno(地狱)中出现的一句话改编的,原话是:Abandon all hope, you who enter! 是Inscription at the entrance to Hell,作用是告诫在inferno中受煎熬的souls,没希望啦。Inferno是Dante 的名著Divine Comedy (CET4)(神曲)中的一部,另外两部的名字分别是Purgatory(炼狱)和Paradise (TEM4)(天堂)。根据Roman Catholic doctrine(罗马天主教的教义),Christians死去后,他们的灵魂会到这三处地方之一:专干坏事的十恶不赦的罪人下到Inferno,在此受罪,永世不得超升,专干好事的各位模范则上到Paradise尽情享受,至于又干过好事又干了些坏事的人,则先到Purgatory报到,Purgatory的作用是purge (1050), or purify, or make
one pure,表现好的就再升到Paradise。另外,03年初在各地上映的《无间道》是一部非常不错的电影,它的名字源于佛经,指地狱,而它的英文名字就是“Infernal Affairs”,译得很贴切。这个infernal就是inferno的形容词形式,而inferno本身的意思是the low region,因此,从词源上讲,inferno和inferior (CET4) (MEE) (DEE) (TEM4)是同源词。当然,也可以这样来记这个词,它的读音象“阴火炉”(阴间的火炉),让人想象到了an inferno of flames,一片火海,同时,从词形上看,可以认为inferno是由in和 furnace构成,furnace的意思就是锅炉。大家肯定对California非常向往,但却不知道它的名字是什么意思,California是西班牙语,意思就是“hot furnace”,这个词的前半部分cali-的意思就是hot“热”,GRE词汇中的caldron(大锅)和calorie(卡路里)以及calorimeter(热量计)都与它有关。

有两句拉丁谚语:

(Anger is brief madness) Horace.
ire, 愤怒,激怒
irate (TEM8), 发怒的
irascible (1050), 易发怒的
furor, 轰动,狂怒
2(Ars longa, vita brevis. 也许有些同学可以隐约地猜出它的意思。
对~它的意思就是Art is long, (while) life is short. 庄子有一句话,正
好与之对应:吾生也有涯,而知也无涯。Brevi-这个词根的意思就是
short,因此abbreviate的意思就是 to make short。与此有关的词汇有
brief, debrief(向…询问情况), abridge(DEE) (TEM4) (1050) (5000),
abridgement (5000), brevity (TEM8) (1050). 莎士比亚在他著名的悲剧

简洁”。

Latin educare, to lead out, bring up:
educate (CET4) (DEE) (TEM4), education (CET4) (TEM4), educational
(TEM4), educationist (TEM4), educationalist (TEM4), educator (TEM4),
coed (TEM8)
aberrant (DEE) (TEM8)
越轨的,异常的,它的词根是err-,意思是to wander, > to be deceived,
走弯路,引申为犯错误,因此errand (TEM4)(差使)保留了原义,
而 err ? (DEE) (TEM4)(犯错误,出错), errant(错误的,脱离正
途的), erratic (TEM8)(反复无常的,古怪的), erroneous ? (MEE)
(DEE) (TEM4) (1050)(不正确的,错误的), error (CET4) (AWL4)
(DEE) (TEM4), erratum((书写或印刷中的)错误)都与犯错误这一
引申义有关。Aberrant (DEE)从构词上讲意为to wander away (from
what is right or normal), 而与它相关的名词是aberration (1050)
(5000)。18世纪英国诗人Alexander Pope曾有一句名言To err is
human; to forgive divine(凡人皆舛误,唯神能见宥)。
abet (5000) 如果我对你说:“我打赌你不敢抢银行”(I put a bet (CET4) (DEE)
(TEM4) on your not daring to rob the bank),而你真就去抢了银行,
那么我就有教唆(abet)的嫌疑。法律上的教唆在英文中是aid and
abet, 之所以这样用是为了避免产生歧义,另外,听上去也顺耳,这
是因为这一短语中含有英语中的一种修辞手法,alliteration,汉语叫
头韵,指几个词的词首均为相同的音(尤其是辅音)。汉语中押头韵
的情况不很常见,但若是让福建人来读“粉红凤凰飞”,他们就会读
成“哄(上声)红哄(去声)黄灰”,形成很有趣的头韵现象。abet
(5000)这个词与bait (MEE) (DEE) (TEM4)有关,都是从 bite (CET4)
(DEE) (TEM4)引申过来,bait作为名词,指让鱼“咬”的钓饵,作为
动词,指唆使狗或人去骚扰别人,逗弄,激怒,其意思已经与abet
很接近了。另外,几个常见的词如:biting(刺痛的,尖锐的), bitter
(CET4) (DEE) (TEM4) (=biting), bitterness (DEE), bit (CET4) (TEM4)
(“咬”下来的一点东西), beetle ? (TEM4)(“咬啮”植物的甲
虫)都与bite (CET4) (DEE) (TEM4)有关。
abeyance (5000)
谐音记忆:“又被摁死”,指某些行动处于暂时的中止或搁置状态。
甲A因非典暂停,就可以说Chinese Soccer League was in abeyance
due to the influence of SARS. 数月后重燃战火,可以说It is revived
after an abeyance of several months。在此期间,众球迷一直翘首以
盼,其实abeyance这个词的原义就是expectation,它与bay有关,都
来自一个表示“张开”意思的词,bay的意思是狗“张开”嘴巴汪汪
乱叫,也可表示海湾,是陆地“张开”了嘴巴;而abeyance形象地
刻画了一个人“张开”嘴巴痴痴等待的模样(周星弛)。
abhor (DEE) (TEM8) (1050) cf. abhorrent (5000), abhorrence (5000)
8
憎恨,嫌恶,最基本的意思是to feel horror at or towards,来自于拉丁
动词horrere, 意为to bristle (DEE) (TEM4), especially with fear. If
something makes your hair stands on end, you abhor it,我们汉语中经常
说“吓得寒毛都竖了起来”,可见中外表达方式有许多相同的地方。
与它有关的词除了horror (CET4) (DEE) (TEM4), horrible (CET4)
(MEE) (DEE) (TEM4), horrid (TEM8), horrendous, 可怕的,令人惊惧
的,horrific (TEM8),可怕的,horrify ? (TEM8), 以及下面的
abhorrent (5000)和abhorrence (5000)之外,还有一个hirsute, 意为
hairy, shaggy (TEM8), bristly,多毛的。
2003/9/29 a tales of two quacks. Quack (TEM4) (1050) (快克), mountebank, nostrum,
ambrosia, nectar (TEM8), charlatan (1050), assistant, adjutant (5000), ad,
aid (CET4) (AWL7) (MEE) (TEM4) (cf. unaided (DEE)), aide (CET4),
toad, tadpole, toad-eater, flattering follower, toady, sycophant (1050). A
fictitious story.
abide ? (MEE) (DEE) (TEM8) cf. abidance (5000)
abide(容忍,忍受)与后面的abiding(永久的,持久的)(TEM8)和
abode (TEM4)(住所)来自相同的词源,英语中有一个词是bide,意
为to wait, stay。Abide的前缀是a-, 是ad-的变体,用在词前,可以加
强意义。
可以用墨西哥人建国的传说将abide (TEM8), abiding (TEM8), abode
(TEM4), bode, ode (TEM8), forebode, foreboding等词串起来。墨西哥
人的祖先曾得到神兆(bode),见到鹰叼蛇立于仙人掌上之地,即为他
们永久(abiding)的居所(abode),于是,族长(patriarch (TEM8), cf.:
matrix, matriarch)率众人迁徙,寻觅这样的地方,经过长时间的跋
涉,仍未见其踪影。有人口出怨言,我再也不能忍受(abide)这样的生
活了。于是族长对他们说,I have a dream (CET4), 我有一种预感
(foreboding),我预感到(forebode)明天我们就会见到神赐之地了,大
家要遵守(abide by)纪律,明天一定会有结果。果然,他们在第二天见
到了一只鹰叼着一条蛇站在一棵硕大的仙人掌之上。于是,大家把此
地作为家园(abode),然后向天神献祭,大唱颂歌(ode).
与abide相关的印欧语词根是bheidh-,从该词根得到的拉丁语词根
fid-意为trust, confide, 参见affidavit。
abject (DEE) (1050) (5000) 20
来自于Latin jacere, to throw, lay, and jacere, to lie down (< "to be
thrown"), and jaculum, dart。与该词相关的词见下面:

abjure (5000) 把abjure和adjure放在一起进行谐音记忆,《动物庄园》中,动物们
造反成功之后,“发誓戒绝”人类的住所(abode),它们都说:“我不
住哦”(abjure);但是到后来,它们都“郑重敦促”对方:“快去住
哦~你要是不住,我住哦”(adjure)。下面是与之有关的其他同源词
