71、掌握大量的词汇对于达到一门外语的流利程度是至关重要的。一个非官方的

但却是经常被引用的有关剑桥初级证书英语考试(CambridgeFirstCertificate

Examination)的数字表明，词汇量少于3500的学生不大可能在这项考试中成功。最

近的研究也表明，其母语为英语的受教育至18岁或18岁以上的人至少要认识

16000个英语单词。除非你已经会讲一种像西班牙语或德语这样的语言，要获得大

的英语词汇量是没有捷径可走的：你就得依靠勤奋和专注。当然，你可以从亡下文

猜出你阅读中遇到的一些生词的意思，但往往你得查词典才能搞清它们的确切意

思。一个切实可行的学习新词的方法或许就是大量阅读，最好是读那些你觉得有趣

或刺激的故事。反复阅读同一本书常常是很有好处的：你每读一次都会学到不同的

生词，而熟悉的背景又有助于将这些新词牢牢地印在你的脑海中。
