聯想有關詞匯

當遺忘產生時，或遇到未曾學過的詞時，應采取放射性思維，發揮想象力，想出一切與之有關的單詞，利用語言的內在聯系，多層次，多角度地運用語言。一般情況下，聯想可按下列思路進行：1聯想同義詞;2聯想反義詞。

英語語言中眾多的同義詞在許多情況下是可以通用的。利用這一規律，由于某個單詞受阻而影響全篇寫作的情況便不會出現。試看下列句子：

I had a nightmare last night. = I had a bad dream last night.

Nightmare 使用頻率不太高，因此不太好記。而其同義詞bad dream 卻很容易記。以后者取代前者絲毫不影響原句的意義。再比如：I don‘t understand this word. 也可以說成 I don’t know this word.

另外：

He is stupid. = He is foolish. = He is a fool. = He is silly.

The food is delicious. = The food is tasty. = The food is nice to eat.

They discontinued the work at five. = They stopped the work at five.

His temper is nasty. = His temper is terrible. = He has a bad temper.

英語語言中詞與詞之間是有聯系的，詞與詞之間語義的“共核”現象即所謂的同義詞。豐富的同義詞給我們提供了極大的方便。

同樣，用其反義詞來取代某一遺忘了的詞也是可行的，請看下面的例子：

He is stubborn. = He is not tame.

The knife is blunt. = The knife is not sharp.

This is expensive. = This is not cheap.

She is talkative. = She is never quiet.
