最快记住英语单词的写法的方法（记不住单词怎么办）

拿着单词列表按顺序背单词又枯燥又低效，往往背到abandon就放弃了，再到abortion就流产了。即便能坚持天天背，背完没两天又忘了。那有没有更高效的方法呢？

其实英语单词跟汉语一样是有偏旁部首的，只要记住它们，遇到不会的单词就可以猜，所以要记的东西就大大减少了。这些偏旁部首就是词根，因为英语融合了各种语言，比如希腊语、拉丁语、法语、德语，所以词根也来自不同的语言，根据词根在源语言中的意思来解释英语单词意思的方法叫词源学。按照词源学记单词又快又有意思。

希腊语前缀eu-意思是“好的”，本期学习包含这个词根的单词。

以下是Jill Bolte Taylor博士在TED演讲《左脑中风，右脑开悟》(My stroke of insight)中的部分脚本，描述她中风中和苏醒后的感觉，一种跟周围世界脱离联系后的奇妙感觉。

So here I am in this space, and my job, and any stress related to my job -- it was gone. And I felt lighter in my body. And imagine all of the relationships in the external world and any stressors related to any of those -- they were gone. And I felt this sense of peacefulness. And imagine what it would feel like to lose 37 years of emotional baggage! Oh! I felt euphoria -- euphoria. It was beautiful. 所以我在这个空间里，我的工作，以及任何与工作相关的压力——都消失了。我觉得我的身体变轻了。想象一下外部世界的所有关系和任何与这些相关的压力源——他们都消失了。我感到了这种平静。想象一下，丢掉37年的情感包袱会是什么感觉！哦！我感觉欣喜无比——欣喜无比。好美。

When I woke later that afternoon, I was shocked to discover that I was still alive. And my mind was now suspended between two very opposite planes of reality. Stimulation coming in through my sensory systems felt like pure pain. Light burned my brain like wildfire, and sounds were so loud and chaotic that I could not pick a voice out from the background noise, and I just wanted to escape. Because I could not identify the position of my body in space, I felt enormous and expansive, like a genie just liberated from her bottle. And my spirit soared free, like a great whale gliding through the sea of silent euphoria. Nirvana. I found Nirvana. And I remember thinking, there's no way I would ever be able to squeeze the enormousness of myself back inside this tiny little body. 那天下午我醒来时，我震惊地发现自己还活着。那时我的思想悬浮在两个截然相反的现实世界之间。我的感觉系统受到的刺激就像纯粹的疼痛。光像野火一样烧着我的大脑，声音那么嘈杂和混乱，我无法从背景噪音中分辨出任何声音，我只想逃离。因为我无法确定我的身体在空间中的位置，我感觉自己膨胀到无比巨大，就像刚刚从瓶子里释放出来的精灵。我的灵魂自由地翱翔，就像一条巨大的鲸鱼在寂静的狂喜之海中滑翔。涅槃。我找到了涅槃的感觉。我记得我在想，我不可能把自己巨大的身躯再塞回这个小小的身体里了。
