误区之四:只认单词,不用单词

大多同学都认识wage(工资), 也认识war(战争), against(针对),但是只有少数同学能写出短语wage war against(对…发动战争)。即使写出了短语,造出的例句也是标准的语法句子,正确但极其无聊:A country wages war against B country.

孤立学“单”词的后果就是不认识单词构成的短语,孤立学短语的后果就是写不出例句,或例句极其不实用。

广州新东方多才的丹丹老师为“wage war against”找到了下面这个例句, 可以迅速激活我们的写作灵感。

Our soul is oftentimes a battlefield upon which reason wages war against passion. (纪伯伦诗句)

当我们明白,“理性”可以向“激情”宣战,这个句子我们能继续改写为我所用呢?

对于爱美的女士来讲,我们要用青春的活力向岁月的痕迹宣战。

Our body is oftentimes a battlefield upon which vigor of youth wages war against wrinkles of years.

对于背单词的朋友,我们每天记忆单词都在与遗忘做抗争。

Our brain is oftentimes a battlefield on which retention wages war against oblivion everyday.

对于青春萌动的少年,也许他/她正在进行一场灵与肉、性与爱的抗争。

For the adolescents, they have come to a battlefield on which sprit wages war against flesh, eroticism against amour.

对于今天新东方的老师,我们何尝不是在进行一场分数与良心、健康与财富、理智与情感、傲慢与偏见、知识与笑话、事业与家庭无休止的抗争呢?

For new-oriental teachers, we oftentimes come to a blood-shed battlefield on which scores wage ceaseless war against conscience, health against wealth, sense against sensibility, pride against prejudice, knowledge against jokes, enterprise against domestic lives.

最后用行为主义心理学家推崇的一段话结束我们今天的探讨:

Watch your thoughts, they become words;

Watch your words, they become actions;

Watch your actions, they become habits;

Watch your habits, they become character;

Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

朋友们,也许一个不经意的错误想法就会决定你词汇学习的习惯,进而很大程度上决定了你英语学习的命运。若本文能为英语学习路上忙碌却盲目的您带来一小点启示,笔者也就暗自窃喜了!
