SAT詞匯記憶口訣“改變記憶單位 賦予你的理解 構(gòu)建詞語聯(lián)系”;也就是通過詞根詞綴、諧音記憶、聯(lián)想記憶、分拆組合等方法將一個(gè)單詞分解開。輕松突破詞匯難關(guān)、從容應(yīng)對(duì)SAT考試。請(qǐng)看以下SAT高頻詞匯：
fallacious adj. 錯(cuò)誤的,謬誤的
首先看該詞中含有我們熟悉的單詞fall, fall的基本意思：掉下來，摔跟斗;人生難免摔跟斗，犯錯(cuò)誤;所以英文中含有fall有錯(cuò)誤的意思，大家可以聯(lián)系下相關(guān)詞匯false, fault, faulty; 其實(shí)fallacious 來自名詞fallacy (錯(cuò)誤，謬誤)，fallacy 可以理解為fall+acy, -acy 一般是表示名詞的后綴。順帶擴(kuò)充下fallible(容易犯錯(cuò)的)infallible(永不犯錯(cuò)的)。大家知道美語里面fall還有秋天的意思，為什么呢?秋天果實(shí)成熟了，就要fall(掉下來)了.
consensus n. 共識(shí)
這個(gè)詞一看三部分 con-, -sens-,-us. 大家知道英文中co系列的前綴指的是together 一起的意思，包括co-, con-, com-, cor-等形式。Sense 本身也是一個(gè)單詞,表示‘感覺’等意思。-us做后綴一般表示名詞，如status(地位)。所以整個(gè)詞consensus表示大家都感覺是一致的，共識(shí)。英文中-sens- 和 –sent- 作為詞根都表示“sense”。更多單詞如：sensible, sensitive, consent(同意)，resent(反感)，sentiment(情感), sentimental(多愁善感的), presentiment(預(yù)感) 等。
discordant adj 不和的 不調(diào)和的
同樣該詞由三部分構(gòu)成;dis-表示否定;-cord-作為詞根表示“心”，-ant-一般是形容詞或名詞結(jié)尾。大家可以聯(lián)想下core(核心)，concord(協(xié)和)，accord(一致)，dicord (不和)，其實(shí)英語中-card-也可表示“心”;electrocardiogram大家能猜到意思嗎?心電圖。
embellish vt 美化，裝飾
em-前綴，表示外面outsite, 英文中ex-相關(guān)的前綴很多，表示outside, 或者說當(dāng)我們看到e開頭的單詞基本都包含這個(gè)意思。中間這個(gè)-bell-聯(lián)系一下belle (美麗，美女) 到處能看到百麗的廣告“因?yàn)榘冫悾悦利?rdquo;。百麗的英文標(biāo)志為belle. –ish 很好理解，作為后綴表示動(dòng)詞、名詞、形容詞都有可能。如finish, establish, diminish等等。
總之，當(dāng)我們拿到一個(gè)生詞的時(shí)候，一定要看看其中有沒有哪些部分是我們已知的，要善于從部分推導(dǎo)出整個(gè)單詞的意思。當(dāng)然，熟悉一定量的詞根是必要的，下一講，我們將一起探討SAT高頻詞匯里面最重要的幾十個(gè)詞根。
