誦口訣，學英語(49)

摘要: 英語中有許多瑣碎知識頗難記憶，但是我們可以根據其漢語意義和諧音等，把這些語法、句法、篇章結構等知識編成有意思的速記口訣，讓我們輕鬆又牢固地記住他們。

口訣：用 「看、聽、觀、勸;試、尋、收、掃、算」 巧記 動作性動詞和結果性動詞

解讀：有些英語動詞表示有意識地去做某種動作，還有些動詞卻表示有意或無意地取得了某種結果，所以我們可以稱前一類動詞為動作性動詞，而稱後一類動詞為結果性動詞。例如：How can you hear if you are not listening?在此句中，hear為結果性動詞，listen為動作性動詞。為了便於記憶，筆者特歸納一句話口訣：看、聽、觀、勸;試、尋、收、掃、算。它們是: look at/ see; listen to/ hear; watch/ see; advise/ persuade; try/ manage; look for/ find; receive/ accept; shoot at/ shoot; work on/ work out等等。
