　附：背单词有哪些方法?

1、明察秋毫法

在学习中文识记汉字的过程中，我们常将一些诸如 括 与 扩 这样的同音字、 京 与 津 这样的近音字以及 向 与 何 这样的近形字归纳整理出来，比较异同以便强化记忆。英语词汇中的同音词、近音词和近形词也不少，它们的差异细微，以至于我们在学习过程中，一不小心就会出错。所以，在识记这些单词时，我们同样可从自己已学过的词汇里找出其同音词、近音词或近形词，着重留意它们的不同之处，进行辨异对比，就不会再轻易地张冠李戴了。

1 flour n. 面粉，粉状物〔同音词〕花蜜像面粉

2 path n. 小路，小径〔近音词〕经过小路

3 toe n. 脚趾，足尖〔近形词〕足尖就是脚的顶端

由近形词比较记忆法还可引伸出同尾词比较记忆法：

4 flood n. 洪水，水灾〔同尾词〕洪水之中，木头漂流

5 scream vi. 尖叫 n. 尖叫声〔同尾词〕夜里做恶梦，发出尖叫声

若将近形词比较记忆法与借梯上楼法融会变通一下，我们还可以如此记忆英语单词：

6 lung n. 肺 〔近形词〕狼〈lang〉心狗肺

7 van n. 有篷载重汽车，运货车〔近形词〕运货车上是盐〈yan〉包

此外，若将近形词比较记忆法作进一步的引申，我们还可将other和order做为词首词尾字母相同的首尾词进行联想记忆;可将teacher和butcher作为 同尾词 进行联想记忆;可将burst和nurse作为同腰词进行联想记忆;可将garden和pardon作为 腰尾词 进行联想记忆;可将custom和stomach作为同部词进行联想记忆。

2、词形颠倒法

将汉字 干 颠倒过来写就是 士 ，再将 由 颠倒一下就成了 甲 ，这是一种简捷的汉字识记方法。无独有偶，在英语词汇里存在同样的情况，将某些单词的字母组合反顺序写出来观察，就变成了另外一些单词，即它们两两之间的词形也是互为颠倒。对这样的英语单词用奇特联想法以旧带新，不仅令人兴趣盎然，而且可以达到速而准的记忆效果。

1 evil n. 罪恶〔颠倒词〕生活一颠倒，变成了罪恶

2 net n. 网 〔颠倒词〕十张网

3 pot n. 壶，罐 〔颠倒词〕壶的盖子在其顶端

如果将词形颠倒法与借梯上楼法融合之后延伸一下，我们还可以如此记忆英语单词：

4 nut n. 果仁，干果 〔颠倒词〕吞〈tun〉食果仁

5 new a. 新的 〔颠倒词〕新闻〈wen〉
