Jun

Introduction

毛老师曾经说过：“背单词、听听力、多阅读是学好英语最重要的三个途径。”而背单词又是其中最重要的一点。

Professor Mao once said: “There are three important ways to learn English well -- reciting words, listening and reading.” Above them all, reciting words is the crucial point.

增大词汇量让听力更容易被理解。

Increasing vocabulary makes listening practice easier to understand.

1.在一篇听力中，往往会有若干个较难的关键词。如果不知道这些词的意思，就不能把内容理解透彻。

Generally speaking, there will be several difficult keywords in a listening practice. We can never fully understand it without knowing the meaning of these words.

2.在这门课一开始，听力训练总能让我感到一头雾水。太多不认识的单词导致我不断地做错。

At the beginning of this course, the listening practice always baffled me. I constantly made mistakes because there were too much words I was not familiar with.

3.从这之后，我把更多时间投入在背单词上。

From then on, I put more effort into memorizing words.

4.在毛老师的建议下，同时我也复习已经学过的单词，争取对不熟悉的单词能做出更快的反应。

Under Professor Mao’s guidance, I review on time, trying to make quicker response to unfamiliar words.

5.之后，我明显地感受到了词汇量的增长对于听力有很大的帮助。

After that, I obviously feel that the increase of vocabulary is of great help to listening.

6.我能够更清晰地理解听力的意思，答题更加得心应手。

I can understand the meaning of listening more clearly and answer questions more easily.

增大词汇量使阅读更加流畅。

Increasing vocabulary makes reading more fluently.

7.书面表达比口语交流更加地书面化和正式，因此，阅读中出现的生词也会更多。

As written language is more formal than spoken language, more new words will appear in reading practice.

8.在课堂上，我们使用NPR新闻等原版材料作为视译的内容，从中能够学习到大量地道又实用的生词。

During the class, we are exposed to authentic learning stuffs such as NPR to do sight translation , all of which provide us with easy access to useful new words.

9.我总是及时记录下这些表达方式，并尝试背下来。

I always took notes of them, and tried to memorize them.

10.除此之外，一些认识的单词也可能在特殊语境下具有不同含义，这种情况也需要进行记忆。

On top of that, simple words with different meanings in special situations also need to memorize

11.例如，在非法童工这篇新闻中，“come to the table”的意思是谈判。

For instance, in the news of illegal child labor, ‘come to the table’ means negotiate together.

增大词汇量使表达更加高级。

Increasing vocabulary makes expressions better.

12.不论是口语还是写作，扩大词汇量都能使我们的表达更加高级。

Whether we speak or write, increasing vocabulary can make our expressions better.

13.重复使用简单的表达容易使人感到单调、乏味。

The repetitive usage of simple expressions tend to make people feel dull and boring.

14.通过积累听力、视译课上学习的生词，使之内化为自己的知识，并灵活地运用，能够优化我们的表达。

By accumulating new words we learned in listening practices and sight translations, we can turn them into our own knowledge. Use them wisely, then our expressions can be much better.

Conclusion

15.总而言之，背单词对于英语学习真的有很大的帮助。

All in all, reciting words really exerts great influence upon English study.

16.学习没有捷径，只有通过不断地练习才能有所提升。

There is no shortcut to learning. Only practice makes perfect.

17.克服背单词的困难，英语就会进步很多！

Overcoming the barrier of vocabulary, then it’s going to improve a lot!
