利用直觉背单词，单词不再是烦恼！

不知道你在背单词的时候有没有一种感觉，就是凭借单词中的关键一两个字母，把很多单词串在一起。最近看到一本奇书，用字母给人的直觉来背单词。比如字母a可以有以下意思：

1）扁平、片

如platy, slab, slap, flake等等

2）空间

如aviate, chamber, inflation, incrassated, slacken, flaccid等等

3）大的、多的

如magnate, grand, slather, rapacious, satisfy, voracious

4）脸、面

如face, ornament, snap, flash, gaze, bare, stare, gape

5）胆大的

如brave, audacious, blatant, bravo

6）积极的

如ative, float, roam, ranger, change。

仅仅一个a就可以衍生出成百上千个单词。如果你过去有一定的英语单词基础，那就更好了。你可以用知道的单词来印证这个规律，同时可以顺带着就增加很多新的词汇。
