一、结合记忆法

  将比较生疏,不常用的单词放入一定的语言环境——句子中,结合句意来记忆单词。遇到此单词时,若词义忘记,则可通过回忆所在句子的意思来记忆单词。例如:

  slope

  n.①倾斜;坡度;斜度

  There is always a certain slope in a ship‘s deck.船的甲板总有几分倾斜。

  ②斜面;斜坡

  We climbed the steep slope of the hill.我们爬了那座陡峭的斜坡。

  vi.倾斜。

  The railroad slopes up slightly at this point.铁路在此处有轻微的倾斜。

  critical

  adj.①批评(性)的,吹毛求疵的

  I don’t like people who are too critical about everything.我不喜欢对每件事都太吹毛求疵的人。

  ②紧要的,关键的;危急的

  His condition is reported as being very critical.据报告他的情况非常危急。

  通过此法来掌握词汇,既有助于记住单词本身的拼写、拼读,又可同时熟悉词的词义、词性、用法和搭配,比孤立地背记单词效果要好。

  二、比较记忆法

  把同义词或形似词放在一起,加以区别。职称英语中有很大一部分都是对同义词或近义词的考察,需要平时进行记忆和积累。
