結(jié)束了詞匯的部分,今天開始就進入了拼寫,作者提到了一些方法如眼部訓(xùn)練萄窜、聯(lián)想記憶等方法通過訓(xùn)練你的大腦來消除拼寫錯誤诈泼,但我認為現(xiàn)在所有有都在使用電腦或者手機等具有自動糾錯功能的輸入工具唧垦,很難真正能夠訓(xùn)練到我們的吧捅儒。不過有一些有趣的規(guī)則我覺得可以值得分享:
Consider 11 verbs that end in the letter R:
1. in-FER ? ? ? ? ? ?? IN-fer-ence
2. pre-FER ? ? ? ? ? PRE-fer-ence
3. re-FER ? ? ? ? ? ? RE-fer-ence
4. con-FER ? ? ? ?? CON-fer-ence
5. de-FER ? ? ? ? ?? DE-fer-ence
6. oc-CUR ? ? ? ? ?? oc-CUR-rence
7. in-CUR ? ? ? ? ? ? in-CUR-rence
8. con-CUR ? ? ? ?? con-CUR-rence
9. re-CUR ? ? ? ? ?? re-CUR-rence
10. de-TER ? ? ? ?? de-TER-rence
11. ab-HOR ? ? ? ? ab-HOR-rence
You realize that each verb is accented on the last syllable. You will notice also that in each instance the R is preceded by a single vowel. Now here is one of the very, very few rules of English spelling to which there is no exception: Every verb ending in R preceded by a single vowel and accented on the final syllable forms its noun with -ence.
是不是感覺找到了人生真諦的感覺,那什么時候雙寫R什么時候不雙寫R呢?
可以再回看上面十個詞巧还,前面5個的詞變成名詞之后重音回到了前面的音節(jié)鞭莽,因此直接加上ence即可;而后面六個單詞的重音保持在最后一個音節(jié)不變麸祷,因此雙寫R.
這個規(guī)則感覺很有用的樣子澎怒,作者最后補了一句,只有一個例外:perseverance
