850个单词的清单

英国哲学家、语言学家 C. K. OGDEN 及其合作者于20世纪30年代设计的BASIC ENGLISH. BASIC来自BRITISH，AMERICAN，SCIENTIFIC，INTERNATIONAL和COMMERCIAL五个单词，意既“英美科学、国际和商务语言”。

BASIC ENGLISH实际上是一种简化的英语。

它由经过统计分析后精心挑选的850个最常用的单词构成，事实上，这850个单词占了现行任何一篇大众性文章出现频率的78%以上，在口语中则高达85%以上。

大量的实践表明，如果我们能把这850个单词每一个都记得象自己的名字一样熟练，WE MAY MAKE GROUND-BREAKING PROGRESS IN OUR SPOKEN ENGLISH.一些欧洲人用几个月的时间掌握一门外语，其秘诀多在于此。

有兴趣的朋友可以试试，任意找一篇文章，或找一段口语会话材料，数一数这850个单词在文章中的比例。

更可以试试，用三个月到半年的时间，争取把这850个单词记得滚瓜烂熟，看口语是否有明显提高。

这850个单词的清单付在本文后面。

笔者个人认为，就中国的工程技术人员，熟练掌握了这850个单词，外加不超过150个专业词汇，仅用1000个单词完全可以突破口语关。

到时候不仅可以与外国专家面对面进行很好的口语交流，开会用英语发言也不会有什么问题。

单词表(850个核心词汇)1 动作- 100 个单词2 事物- 400 个常用单词3 事物- 200个可用图表示的单词4 状态- 100个常用单词5 状态- 50 个有反义词的单词语法规则奥格登基本英语的语法规则是为了让人们只用850个单词就可以解决一般交流。

1 在单词词尾加-s作为复数，那些加-es和-ies的保留。

2 四个词缀：-er可以变成300多个名词，-ing和-ed变成形容词。

3 使用-ly变成副词。

4 对于数量，使用more和most，保留-er和-est.5 形容词的反义词是加前缀un-.6 问句使用相反的词序，加上do.7 人称和代名词使用和一般英语相同。

8 可以使用两个名词组合成新词，比如milkman和wordend还可以是名词加方位sundown.9 单位，数字，货币，月份，日子，年份，钟点和国际语同一般英语形式。

10 使用专业和科技词汇。

一些特殊词汇不属于基本英语，词性，复数等变化不遵守这个规范。
