基础词汇:The Oxford 3000
|
||
|
大家都知道VOA的基础词汇1500，我从Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary - 7th edition上找到了用于解释所有单词的基础词汇3000，希望对大家有帮助，请特别注意看筛选准则。因为他们代表了权威性。我想如果这3000词能活学活用，融汇贯通，定是非常大的进步。很多大家都谈到中国人学英语的弊端就只知道写复杂的句子，而这是林语堂（ 以上是我平时感触。以下是推荐的The Oxford 3000™ The keywords of the Oxford 3000 have been carefully selected by a group of language experts and experienced teachers as the words which should receive priority in vocabulary study because of their importance and usefulness. The selection is based on three criteria. The words which occur most frequently in English are included, based on the information in the British National Corpus and the Oxford Corpus Collection. (A corpus is an electronically held collection of written or spoken texts, often consisting of hundreds of millions of words.) However, being frequent in the corpus alone is not enough for a word to qualify as a keyword: it may be that the word is used very frequently, but only in a narrowly defined area, such as newspapers or scientific articles. In order to avoid including these restricted words, we include as keywords only those words which are frequent across a range of different types of text. In other words, keywords are both frequent and used in a variety of contexts. In addition, the list includes some very important words which happen not to be used frequently, even though they are very familiar to most users of English. These include, for example, words for parts of the body, words used in travel, and words which are useful for explaining what you mean when you do not know the exact word for something. These words were identified by consulting a panel of over seventy experts in the fields of teaching and language study. The words of the Oxford 3000 are shown in the main section of the dictionary with a preceding key symbol (). The entries for keywords often have extra information in the form of more examples of use, special notes explaining synonyms or related words, or helpful illustrations. This means that the keywords make an excellent starting point for expanding your vocabulary. With most keywords, there is far more to learn about them than the first meaning in the entry: often these words have many meanings, have a large family of words derived from them, or are used in a variety of patterns. All of this means that each one of the keywords repays close study. The list covers British and American English. It is arranged to emphasize the connections between words, so that words which are very closely related (including adverbs ending in -ly and opposites starting with un-) are grouped together. Some basic phrases are also included. Proper names (names of people, places, etc. beginning with a capital letter) and numbers are not included in the main list. A separate list of words which are important for language study, but less important in everyday life, follows the main list. Knowing these words will help you to understand more of the information given in the entries, especially regarding the word’s grammar and register (whether it is formal, informal, etc.). In order to make the definitions in this dictionary easy to understand, we have written them using the keywords of the Oxford 3000. All words used in normal definition text are keywords, or are on the list of language study terms. Numbers and proper names are also used in definitions. When it has been necessary to use a specialist term which is not in the Oxford 3000, the word is shown in small capitals. If you do not know the meaning of this word, look it up in the dictionary: it will help you to understand the definition that you are interested in, and will probably be a useful word to learn because it will be related to the original word you looked up. Of course, your own interests and circumstances mean that you will certainly want to learn other words which are not part of the Oxford 3000. You will find specialist lists for those whose area of work or study is science, the arts, or business and finance after the main list. These words are the next most important words to learn after the Oxford 3000 if you are interested in one of these fields. The lists are based on analyses of specialist corpora and include the next most frequent words after the keywords of the Oxford 3000. |
