大學(xué)如何學(xué)好英語

字號:

編輯小語:大學(xué)應(yīng)該是一個用英語戰(zhàn)斗的時代:用英文獲得專業(yè)最新信息;直接閱讀英美主要雜志(非常難懂);用英語參與國際會議和談判;用英語發(fā)表論文;用英語介紹中國產(chǎn)品(包括寫說明書、廣告詞等)和中國文化;用英語進行國際政治、經(jīng)濟、商業(yè)和文化交流等等.那么如何做到這一步呢?下面是一些簡單的建議:
     大學(xué)英語學(xué)習(xí)一:擴充英語單詞
     特別是六名詞、動詞、副詞和形容詞.
     Many people are sensitive to the odor of onions, and whenever they cut onions, the people's eyes secrete tears.
     (許多人對洋蔥的氣味很敏感,當(dāng)他們切洋蔥的時候,就會流眼淚/他們的眼睛就會分泌眼淚)
     Since the couple could not reconcile their differences, they decided to get a divorce.
     (由于這對夫婦之間的分歧無法得到和解,所以他們決定離婚.)
     Are you positive he's the man you saw yesterday?
     (你能確定他就是你昨天見到的那這人嗎?)
     She said she didn't like it, but personally I thought it was very good.
     (她說她不喜歡這個,但我個人認為它非常好.)
     The present system is considerably more efficient than the old one.
     (現(xiàn)在的方法比舊方法有效的多.)
     Movement can be painful when you've hurt your back.
     (如果你的背受了傷,一動就會痛.)
     I noticed a sudden movement behind the curtain.
     (我發(fā)現(xiàn)幕布后面突然有動靜.)
     He'd made a bad mistake, but tried to minimize its seriousness. (= treat it as if it were not serious)
     (他犯了一個很嚴(yán)重的錯誤,但他試圖把它的嚴(yán)重性說成很小/卻想辦法縮小其嚴(yán)重性.)
     In most counties, the taxes that people pay are regulated by law. People pay a certain percentage of their income, and they also pay a certain percentage of tax on merchandise they buy.
     (在大多數(shù)國家,人們納稅是由法律所規(guī)定的.人們要交納他們收入的一部分/一定百分比作為所得稅,而且他們還要對所購買的商品交納一定百分比的稅/消費稅.)
     He's very old, and his movements are getting slower and slower.
     (他年紀(jì)很大,動作越來越慢了.)
     大學(xué)英語學(xué)習(xí)二:擴充英語成語
     成語是一門語言的精華,是外語學(xué)習(xí)的"特大"難點!是英語聽力、閱讀和語法結(jié)構(gòu)考試的"攔路虎"!是一個人英語學(xué)習(xí)走向成功的"最終障礙"!
     掌握成語,把中國成語轉(zhuǎn)換成我們能用的得心應(yīng)手的英語成語.
     凡是包含成語的句子在我們學(xué)習(xí)英語時,他們都是高級的、是可以稱贊的點睛之筆.
     1 When my brother went to work in the U.S.A for a year the whole family went to see him off at the airport.
     (當(dāng)我哥哥離家去美國工作一年的時候,我們?nèi)胰ワw機場送行)
     2 Now listen to me, darling. I understand your feelings about John's looks and his personality but he has a good job and you are almost thirty. You can't turn down his proposal.
     (親愛的,聽我說,我理解你對約翰的長相和性格有看法,但他的工作不錯,你也快三十了,你不能拒絕他的求婚.)
     3 Joe's wife wouldn't put up with his smoking in their house, so he had to smoke his cigarettes outside even in winter.
     大學(xué)英語學(xué)習(xí)三:提高"快速閱讀理解能力"
     這也就是提高單英語單詞量和各種英語句型的識別能力!如果你按照我們的方法進行操練,這種"快速閱讀理解能力"是順便獲得的!因為我們主張"句子中心論"和"增加句子量而不是單詞量",英語句子是由英語單詞和句型這兩個因素構(gòu)成的,所以大量地收集和脫口而出句子,"英語單詞"和"各種句型"將同時"深刻"掌握,英語閱讀能力將獲得大幅度提高.
     Commercial banks make most of their income from interest (which is ) earned on loans and investments in stocks and bonds.
     (商業(yè)銀行大部分的收來自貸款利息及股票和債券投資所得)
     大學(xué)英語學(xué)習(xí)四:中英文自由轉(zhuǎn)換的口譯能力.
     遇到任何文章或教科書,第一個反映就是嘗試是否能將上面的內(nèi)容進行"英漢互譯"!
     Many young people enjoy living in New York. There are always exciting things to do. They can go to the theater, to concerts, and to museums anytime. They also have a lot of friends, so they go to parties once or twice a week.
