封面主要三句話(huà)（除了書(shū)名）

The simple, step-by-step method that will increase your knowledge and mastery of English language.
The complete handbook for building a superior vocabulary.
這正是我所需要的旅赢，背了那么多年單詞豺总，到底掌握了多少，確實(shí)值得問(wèn)問(wèn)自己毡泻。很多只知道膚淺的意思蕾管，至于靈活應(yīng)用那就差遠(yuǎn)了齿拂。我也在使用百詞斬這樣的APP提高自身的詞匯量步鉴，但靈活應(yīng)用詞匯不是簡(jiǎn)單背背就好的。你們覺(jué)得呢斥赋？有什么其它體會(huì)可以留言給我缰猴。
讓我們看看這本書(shū)會(huì)帶來(lái)什么，如何高效的構(gòu)建我們的詞匯量疤剑，同時(shí)玩轉(zhuǎn)(master)英語(yǔ)滑绒。雖然本人也是個(gè)master，但不是一流的隘膘，感覺(jué)應(yīng)該是很弱的那種吧疑故。
列舉本書(shū)功能點(diǎn)
- Speak and write with confidence.
- Read more effectively and efficiently.
- Learn quickly.
- Develop social contacts.
- Increase your earning power.
前四項(xiàng)的都是為了最后一項(xiàng)做鋪墊的，哈哈弯菊，看到這一項(xiàng)渾身充滿(mǎn)了動(dòng)力??
測(cè)試一下
封皮過(guò)后的詞匯量測(cè)試纵势，額，好多單詞不認(rèn)識(shí)管钳。尤其是問(wèn)題中的斜體字钦铁，勉強(qiáng)知道幾個(gè)并猜出幾個(gè)，其它的就懵了才漆。好吧牛曹，這個(gè)是詞匯量的問(wèn)題，也是看此書(shū)的緣由醇滥。
disheveled baffling lenient repulsive audacious......
不全寫(xiě)出了黎比，先略過(guò)了超营，盡快讀正文了。
作者序阅虫，致
To:
My family and friends, who accepted, without apparent resentment and with barely audible complaint, my complete self-isolation during the many months in which I totally and shamefully neglected them while working on the revision of this book.
Especially: Mary; Margie Baldinger and the kids......
很誠(chéng)懇的開(kāi)頭糟描，有沒(méi)有？然后就是一堆堆书妻，要感謝的人名，省略了哈躬拢。

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK FOR MAXIMUM BENEFIT
- this is not a reading book...
Don't read this book!
What６懵摹？ 看到此話(huà)先蒙三圈聊闯，什么意思工猜？
莫急，看后面一句就明白了菱蔬。
Instead, work with it. Write in it, talk aloud to it, talk back to it--use your pen or pencil, your voice, not just your eyes and mind.
這下明白了吧, 作者為什么不說(shuō)：Don't only read this book! 這是漢式英語(yǔ)篷帅？我們要用此書(shū)，大聲的說(shuō)拴泌。
如何學(xué)習(xí)此書(shū)以及如何做題
- ?master the pronunciation system!
Saying words aloud, and saying them right, is half the battle in feeling comfortable and assured with all the new words you are going to learn.
大聲的朗讀出來(lái)吧
下面讓我 看看此書(shū)的音標(biāo)體系
a. First, master the "schwa"!
The vowel sound of word is said very quickly.
Phonetically respelled, these words are represented as:
| Word | Respell |
|---|---|
| Linda | LIN'-d? |
| mother | MUTH'-?r |
| about | ?-BOWT' |
| different | DIF'-?r-?nt |
| idea | ī-DEE'-? |
這里的?就是schwa魏身，短元音。
b.Next, understand accent
| Word | Respell |
|---|---|
| conversational | kon'-v?r-SAY'-sh?n-?l |
| egomaniacal | ee'-gō-m?-Nī'-?-k?l |
| altercation | awl'-t?r-KAY'-sh?n |
| anthropological | an'-thr?-p?-LOJ'-?-k?l |
關(guān)于重音蚪腐，一個(gè)單詞中可能有兩個(gè)箭昵，小寫(xiě)重音要不大寫(xiě)重音發(fā)音輕一些。
音標(biāo)體系后面還有一些說(shuō)明回季，但和我們常用的方式區(qū)別還是挺大的家制，這里不久寫(xiě)了，后面如果用到泡一，再說(shuō)啦
音標(biāo)體系后面還有一些說(shuō)明颤殴，但和我們常用的方式區(qū)別還是挺大的，這里不久寫(xiě)了鼻忠，后面如果用到涵但，再說(shuō)啦。
<ol start="3">
<li>a word (words) on western and eastern pronunciation</li>
作者提到了western和 eastern的發(fā)音區(qū)別（口音）
Nothing so radical here that a person brought up in Brooklyn or the Bronx cannot understand a native of Los Angeles or San Francisco--it's just that each one thinks the other has an accent!
大概就像北京人聽(tīng)山西人說(shuō)話(huà)一樣吧粥烁，它們的地區(qū)口音差異相對(duì)漢語(yǔ)還是小了很多贤笆。
本書(shū)使用西部發(fā)音標(biāo)注，Google一下讨阻，美國(guó)目前還是依中西部口音為主芥永。作者當(dāng)年帶著口音從NY搬到LA，也是廢了半天勁才把口音改過(guò)來(lái)钝吮。
</ol>
<ol start="4">
<li>why etymology?</li>
本書(shū)包含詞根學(xué)習(xí)埋涧，包括前綴板辽，后綴和詞根
</ol>
未完待續(xù)??
目錄和相關(guān)說(shuō)明就到此為止了，后面進(jìn)入正是章節(jié)棘催。
暫時(shí)沒(méi)有后面了劲弦，因?yàn)槿タ磩e的了
