掌握850个单词 实现日常自由沟通

掌握850个单词 实现日常自由沟通

作者：许金杰

今天发布的将是你最值得研究，也是对各位自学英语最有价值的启蒙文章之一。


这是我年初在网上看到的最震撼的文章，它来自美国网络，它的名字叫《Basic English》-A General introduction with Rules and Grammar.作者是C.K.OGDEN。它以850个最基本的英文单词为蓝本，构造了利用这850个单词来进行日常的英语生活对话。它曾获得美国特别研究奖项，并且是美国总统特别支持的语言研究项目之一。目前仍在不断的研究和完善中，但对于有一定英语基础的自学者来说，这是一个比较好的学习英文的途径。


原文前言及内容摘录如下：
BASIC ENGLISHA General Introduction with Rules and GrammarByC. K. OGDENDirector of The Orthological Institute
PREFACE and CONTENTS
The following account of Basic English is designed to give a general idea of the system and its applications.
A graded introduction, written in Basic English, is provided in the ABC of Basic English; and in Basic Step by Step for class use. The material here presented to English-speaking readers is there treated in greater detail from the standpoint of the learner; and questions relating to word-order, derivatives, and idiom are fully covered. All particulars of the senses and uses of the senses and uses of the 850 Basic words will be found in The Basic Words, and the Basic equivalents of the 7,500 commonest words are given in The Basic Dictionary. Translations of these volumes are being prepared; and The General Basic English Dictionary, giving the senses of 25,000 words in Basic, will be ready early in 1940.
The case for Basic English as the Universal Language of Radio, the Talkies, Commerce, and Science is presented in Debabelization and Basic English versus the Artificial Languages; while for lighter reading, the Basic version of Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man may be specially mentioned. Finally, in addition to a complete series of graded text- books, a wide selection of examples (stories, news, letters, and dialogues) in Basic has been provided. A list of these and other publications will be found at the end of the volume.
The present outline is divided into two Parts: --I. A general exposition giving a brief summary of the system, and of the purposes for which it was designed.II. A Short Guide, in Basic English, from a somewhat different angle, which will also serve as an example of Basic itself. Correspondence is invited toThe Orthological Institute,10, King's Parade,Cambridge, England [disbanded 1960's]

A. The Value of Basic
B. English without Tears
C. Idiom No Obstacle
D. Simplicity and Precision: "It is not, then, upon foreign nations alone that the future of Basic English depends. For their own sake, as well as for that of foreign learners, English-speaking people would do well to keep their own English as near as possible to the simplicity and precision of Basic English."


基础英语是非常有价值的学习材料。其中的850个单词是必须熟练掌握的。如果掌握这些单词呢。各位学法不一。但可以介绍一种比较通行的方法，也是我英语学习过程中总结出来的好方法。那就是听-写-读-说。具体操作方法是:先听正确的读音，可以通过专业的免费英语字典-灵格斯来听。每个单词至少听50遍；然后是在听的同时进行默写。同样反复默写50次；接下来是读。这里专指跟读-跟着播放器大声读，同时用手指拼写，反复100次；最后是说，这里专指一个人用各种表情去演说这个单词，每一种演说的表情（你能想象到的表情）必须反复练习100次。
这个方法强调多次反复练习。即每一个学习节拍需要花专门时间单独练习。每一次练习必须完成一个学习周期（听-写-读-说的周期）。


在学习或练习时必须注意的事项：
第一、第一次听到的音必须是正确音；即不可为了节省时间， 而不使用发音软件来辅助发音。
第二、跟读时，必须跟着播放器练习，不可为了节省时间，而自以为是的不跟着标准音练习；
第三、演说时，必须全身心投入，充分发挥想象力与肢体语言的结合，形成肌肉记忆-即通过活动身体的某个部位就能想起单词怎么表达，这是英语运用的最高境界。
