拇指英语说,分享英语学习心得,技巧和方法。让英语学习变得更有趣更简单

在英语学习中,词汇量的大小是衡量英语水平的重要标志。通常词汇量越大,运用英语的能力就越强,反之亦然。许多英语偏弱的学生将词汇的学习与记忆比作“拦路虎”,以至谈虎色变,毫无信心。因此,有意识地学习词汇策略将可以帮助学生更科学,高效,简单地积累大量词汇,从而达到事半功倍的效果。本词汇积累策略系列,将会从近义词(synonyms),反义词(antonyms),前缀(prefixes),后缀(suffixes),同音异义词(homophones)等角度来探讨词汇的学习和积累。本系列,适合小学中高年级及初中学生学习。

同音异形异义词 (Homophones)

在英语的学习过程中,我们一定会碰到这种情况。就是有些单词拼写及意思不同,但它们的发音是完全一样的。这样的单词,我们特别把它们称作同音异形异义词(Homophones) 。比如,对于初中生来说,我们可以举一些简单的例子: hear (听见)/here (这里); whole(全部的)/ hole (洞);our (我们的)/hour (小时);one (一个)/won (赢,win的过去式)。同音异形异义词尤其在听力中是一个难点,同学们要有能力根据听力内容,迅速做出反应和判断,该发音的单词到底指的是哪个单词,意思究竟应该是什么。 下面我们首先罗列一些常见的同音异形异义词,同学们不妨可以进行积累。
