浮标诗情英语学习法

浮标诗情英语学习法
今天，在很多大城市都有提供顾客存放物品服务的地方，成百上千个密密麻麻的小柜子排在一起，每个顾客可以选择一个或多个箱柜来存放自己的物品。

在一些公共浴室和游泳池等地方，这些小柜子也是经常被使用。

这样的小柜子可以使人联想到计算机的"内存"，一台计算机就是使用许多许多像这种小箱柜一样的"内存"来储存数量浩繁的信息。

由于这些"内存"是按某种方式有序地排列的，所以计算机的用户可以很方便地提取自己所需要的信息。

事实上，人脑里也有这样的小箱柜或"内存"，或者说也可以建立起这样的小箱柜或"内存"，用来存放所学到的东西如英语方面的内容。

我们先来看下面的英语句子：
The world is like a fleeting show.
人世如白驹过隙。

Every dog has his day.
人人皆有出头之日。

He depends on his own strength.
他依靠自己的力量。

The two countries are linked by common mountains and rivers.
两国山水相连。

It's a long story.
一言难尽。

The deal is off.
这笔买卖黄了。

Our native land is as pretty as a picture.
祖国河山美丽如画。

Admission to the lecture is free.
讲座免费入场。

Most of the earth is covered by sea.
地球表面大部分为海洋覆盖。

The song is popular among college students.
这首歌在大学生中很流行。

More haste, less speed.
欲速则不达。

He lives in poverty.
他过着贫穷的生活。

Be sure to bear this in mind.
这事你千万记住。

This victory was a milestone in our country's history.
这一胜利是我国历史的里程碑。

He is the eyewitness of the car accident.
他是这场车祸的目击者。

Care more about your health than about money.
关心钱更要关心健康。

He climbed up to a higher branch on the tree.
他爬到更高的树枝上去。

This medicine will ensure you a good night's sleep.
此药可保你一夜好睡。

He lives in a seven-story building.
他住在一个七层的大厦里面。

Our neighbors downstairs are very noisy.
楼下邻居很闹。

上面的每一个句子里面都有一个加着重号的字，如果把每一句话比喻成一个人，这个加着重号的字就是这个人的名字或某个重要特点，这就便于记忆。

我们把加着重号的字连在一起，便成为：
白日依山尽，
黄河入海流。

欲穷千里目，
更上一层楼。

这是家喻户晓的王之涣五言绝句《登鹳雀楼》。

事实上，当你记住以上的四句诗，同时又记住了以上加着重号的字以后，不需要借助任何资料你就可以随时随地回忆和复习这些句子，反复回忆强化，最终达到"记忆万年"的效果。

这些加着重号的字就像存在于你大脑中的一个个箱柜或"内存"(或者说可以在你大脑中建立这些箱柜或"内存")。

由于这些字带有强烈的提示性，很像渔民捕鱼时渔网上浮出水面的一个个"浮标"，牵动着它下面的一张张英语句子构成的"大网"，所以，该方法称为浮标英语学习法，又称浮标诗情英语学习法。

用一首较短的诗，例如五言绝句或七言绝句来作"浮标"，一般来说学习者都可以准确记住要记忆的内容。

但如果再加以适当的联想，记忆就更轻松自如。

譬如前五句我们可以这样联想：人生如白驹过隙，太短促了。

但人人都有出头之日。

所以，他依靠自己的力量，努力奋斗，辛勤跋涉在两国山水之间，其中的苦和乐是一言难尽的。

事实上这种联想不需要形成文字，它可以是模糊、片段和若有若无的。

在以较长的诗歌如律诗或宋词作"浮标"时，这种联想有极好的加快提示速度和帮助记忆的效果。

这种联想的方法在《迷彩游戏》一书中有更详尽的介绍。

我们再看下边的句子：
The act would be below the national dignity.
这种行为有失国格。

Foolish expenditures will bankrupt him.
胡乱的花费将使他破产。

There the scenery is picturesque and the weather is pleasant.

国破山河在，城春草木深。

感时花溅泪，恨别鸟惊心。

烽火连三月，家书抵万金。

白头搔更短，浑欲不胜簪。

不仅唐诗可以作为"浮标"，宋词也因其朗朗上口和易于记忆，也是极好的"浮标"材料，一篇较长的宋词可提示上百个英语句子。

例如：
水调歌头(苏轼)
明月几时有？把酒问青天。

不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年。

我欲乘风归去，又恐琼楼玉宇，高处不胜寒。

浮标诗情英语学习法除了具有迷彩游戏英语学习法的许多优点外，还有自己独有的许多特点，表现在以下几个方面：
一.确定性：浮标英语学习法相比较而言有更好的确定性，在用唐诗宋词组合成浮标的这一系统里，为了不混淆，可以使每一首诗词对应一段固定的英语句子组合。

同时这也极大地方便了学习者之间相互交流与印证。

二.提高学习者汉译英水平：因为在浮标英语学习法里，每一个英语句子都有一个汉字来提示，学习日久，见到一个汉字，便会联想起与之相关的英语句子，从而，从汉字或汉语到英语的桥梁便不知不觉地建立起来了。

三.汉语英语双丰收：记住一首首唐宋诗词，和与之相关的英语一起复习，同时加深了对这些诗词的记忆和理解，天长日久，英语水平大大提高的同时，汉语修养也会有较大提高。

四.浮标英语学习法又名浮标诗情英语学习法，因为所有的英文都是出现在诗歌的大背景中，一般均可把这些英语句子与诗歌的内容联系起来记忆，这样的
4
学习，将不再是枯燥无味，而是笼罩在一种诗情画意之中，是一种充满情趣的学习。

这也是浮标诗情英语学习法名称中"诗情"二字的由来。

五.迷彩游戏英语学习法提出一种甄别与处理的方法，使学习者面对数量浩繁的英语文句能够有章可循地去提取自己所需要的并存放于大脑之中，达到有效学习的目的，是一种由外而内的学习方法；而浮标英语学习法是一种由内而外的学习方法，它以汉语为出发点，利用学习者自身固有的根深蒂固的知识，由此及彼、由里及表地扩大知识的内涵以达到有效学习的目的。

它们在创造一种新的学习情趣和提高学习效率上是一致的，而二者在许多场合又可以交叉使用甚至"合二为一"。
