world”。2000个单词走天下我们在学习外语的时候，可能已经认识到有的单词在文章中频繁出现，而有的单词在一页书中最多出现一至二次，有的单词在一册书中也仅出现一至二次。所以每个单词在构成文章方面各起着不同的作用。一些反复出现、起着重要作用的单词虽然数量不多，但使用的频率很高，几乎占了整个文章的一半以上，而其他大量单词，起着一种修饰作用。对此莫斯科国立语言研究所通过对英国、美国、法国、西班牙的34部文学作品的分析和研究，得出了一些可供参考的数据，见下表。常用单词的文章构成能力占文学作品单词总数的百分比:最初1000个单词80.5%第二个1000词6.1%第三个1000词3.4%第四个1000词2.2%第五个1000词1.3%合计5000个单词93.5%以英语为例加以说明。最常用的单词，即使用频率高的1000个单词平均占34部著作中语言量的805，如果你掌握了2000个单词，就可以读懂书中的86的内容，掌握了3000个单词，就可以读懂90的内容，要是你掌握了5000个单词，就可以读懂935的内容。若能达到10000，应该说阅读就不成为问题了。下面是常见的2000英语单词按使用频率从高到低进行排列的，因为它是按国外英语单词的实际使用频率进行统计的，可能不太适合在中国的英语单词实际使用频率，但它有助你了解英语单词的使用情况。1
