标题: 兰迪的生词本 - 我爱背单词
词汇是学习英语的基础，我曾经有个比喻，有了大的词汇量就好像学武功的人内力深厚，练任何招式都会变得比较容易。

试想如果一个句子里面就有2，3个单词你根本不认识，你怎么可能看得懂呢？更不可能听得懂了吧？

我开这个帖子，主要是为了自己的单词学习，也希望有人来一起背单词。

争取每天至少增加一个单词。这些单词都是我看英文的书籍，杂志或者网站等等碰到的。个人比较不喜欢机械的背单词方式。

每天哪怕只记一个单词，一年就可以增加365个单词词汇量。贵在坚持，加油！

不认识就对了.

我也都不认识啊, 所以要背啊.
应该都不是生僻字, 这些单词都取材自我正在读的2本畅销小说, Twilight 和 I am legend. 通俗畅销小说里面的词大概也不是什么生僻字的. 除非是"达芬奇密码"那种小说, 里面都是说宗教或者密码什么的.

If you pamper someone, you do everything for them, and give them everything they want.

pampered
- I was a very pampered child.

刚好背过这个单词以后, 就在电视里看到了"帮宝适"广告, Pampers.
以前没有感觉, 但现在马上就意识到Pampers这个牌子其实就是从pamper这个单词来的.

背单词最开心的就是, 在其他场合能看到/听到自己背过的单词, 并且认出来.
同时, 最痛苦的就是, 在以后看到/听到自己背过的单词, 自己知道背过, 但是忘记什么意思了...

当然, 这些都是背单词的乐趣所在.

Twilight讲的是僵尸故事，I am legend我看过电影，如果没有搞错的话，是一个科幻灾难片。
这样的话，里面的词生僻一点不奇怪。

最近看了很多英语片子，一是因为想看电影，二是学英语，一边看一边理解然后记下不会的句子和单词再查字典，觉得很有用，反正不明白就重复看多几次，反正能定格重放呵呵。
这样一来，我发现了个惊天大秘密，我觉得英语语法和粤语很相似，语序也大部分有相同的。这只是我自己觉得的，有待我自己去研究一下。先别拍砖，可能是真的哦
