研究生英語學習方法

  研究生英語該如何學好呢?下面和小編具體瞭解下。

  1、擴充英語詞彙量

  在研究生英語學習階段,英語詞彙量仍然很重要。不管是閱讀英語文獻,還是聽英語聽力、或者翻譯英語學術論文,都需要有足夠的詞彙量,並且詞彙量越豐富越好。就像我們寫中文文章一樣,同一個意思有不同的表達方式,選擇最恰當的那一種,可以讓文章錦上添花。寫英語文章,不同的表達方式能夠產生不同的效果,而豐富的詞彙量則是讓你掌握不同表達方式的基礎,所以說,研究生英語學習需要擴充英語詞彙量。

  2、大量閱讀,開闊眼界

  研究生英語學習,一定要多閱讀、多聽,以此來開闊自己的視野。大量的閱讀對於英語學習來說,是非常有好處的,不僅人的眼界變得開闊了,英語思維和英語語感也得到了培養。現今很多學生的通病是英語閱讀量太少了,因此無論是開口說,還是提筆寫,總有一種侷限性,這樣的毛病只能通過大量閱讀來克服。

  3、堅持看原汁原味的英文素材

  研究生怎麼學英語?到了研究生階段,相應的英語學習的標準也應該隨之提高,不要再看那些中國人寫的英語文章、出版的英文書籍了,要堅持看原汁原味的英語素材。為什麼這樣說呢?因為,受中國人的傳統思維影響,很多中國人寫的英語文章,即使有不認識的單詞,但是你也能夠很輕易地讀懂文章的意思,而外國人寫的文章,即使你能認識所有的單詞,但有可能你還是不能夠讀懂文章意思。造成這種現象的最大原因就是文化背景的差異,因此,為了更好地培養自己的英語語感,不讓自己受中式思維的影響,還是堅持看原汁原味的英文素材吧。即使剛開始看不懂,但是慢慢堅持,等你習慣了外國人的那種思維方式,你就能夠讀懂了。

  4、聽力要聽得多聽得雜

  聽力是一定要長期堅持的,三天打魚兩天晒網根本不會有任何效果。在研究生階段,英語聽力水平的提高不僅需要多聽,還要聽得雜。意思就是不要選擇一種題材的英語聽力,而應該多聽不同的主題、不同的內容,這樣聽力水平才能得到迅速提高。很多人練習聽力時喜歡聽一個主題,比如我喜歡聽時政新聞,那麼我就一直聽時政新聞,時間長了,聽時政新聞是沒有問題了,但聽娛樂新聞就不一定聽得懂了,這就是聽一種主題的侷限性。而將聽力的內容弄得雜一些,可以讓聽力訓練的內容豐富化,也更貼近英語生活的實際。

  5、多看專業的英文文獻

  在研究生階段,不建議大家使用看美劇、看電影的那種簡單方式學習英語,不過,如果你真的是閒得無聊那又另當別論。研究生階段涉及的專業英語比較多,看美劇頂多能學會一些基礎的英語口語,這個階段還停留在基礎英語的學習上,未免有些浪費時間。因此,大家應該適當注意英語學習的重心,多看看專業的英文文獻。多閱讀英語文獻,可以使你的英語讀、寫、譯能力以及詞彙量都得到極大提高,還可以獲得大量的專業資訊,對你的學業和研究都有幫助。並且,想要發表SCI,可以據此先看看別人是怎麼寫的。

  6、練習翻譯的基本功

  說到發表SCI,就不得不提一提研究生英語學習的翻譯問題了。相對而言,研究生英語學習更注重專業性,這點在翻譯方面體現得尤為明顯。發表英語學術論文,不僅要求文章質量要過關,寫作的語言也必須達到國際雜誌發表的要求。因此,在平時的學習過程中,也應該適當練習翻譯的基本功。在看英語文獻的過程中,可以隨手做一些英譯中訓練,然後再合上書,做中譯英的訓練,這樣也不失為一種練習翻譯技能的好方法。

  大量閱讀對英語學習至關重要,沒有大量閱讀很難學好英語。現今學生的一個通病是閱讀量太小,拘泥於短文章上的“精耕細作”,產生不了語感,因而口筆語都缺少外國味。多讀文學作品和外國報刊不失為一劑良藥。***黃源深***
