一些词汇记忆小技巧
一．前缀+词根+后缀记忆法
二．减词/词中词记忆法
scramble（攀登）--scale（攀登）
wastrel（败家子）------waste 浪费
trawl （拖网）-------law理解为"法网"[如记得"法网柔情"此电视剧则更易记]
travail（艰苦劳动，痛苦）---ail 疾病
tribunal（法庭，裁判所）---trial 审判 bun有馒头之义，形状象个屋子
wrath（愤怒，大怒）---rat 人们都愤怒的打过街老鼠（俗语）
umbrage（愤怒）-----rage发怒
vehement（powerful，forceful energy）-----he他表男人，男人应powerful，forceful energy
三．加词记忆法
tyro（新手）----tyrold 原词无old，说明不老
prodigy（非凡之人，天才）---prodigyou 前来（pro前缀表前）挖（dig）你（you）因为你有才华，其他公司才来挖你，推出前意。
psephology（选举学）----People Select People 人与人中选 hology做为词尾不必考虑
ostrich（鸵鸟）-----costrich 驼绒（鸵鸟的绒）很贵
psalm（赞美诗，圣诗）-----People Sing 我们会有这种印象，教堂中教徒每人抱一本书唱诗的情景，alm不必考虑
wallop（重击，猛打）----wallopposite 以重击，猛打的方式反对
waft（漂浮）---ft=float漂浮
vernacular（本国语，地方语）----ver窝+native本土的=窝在本土说本国语
waive（放弃，推迟考虑）-----wai=wait老等[推迟考虑]，ive=give up[放弃]
usurp（篡位）-----usurpower 此词定于权利有关，同时可于usury（放高利贷）相区别
ale（酒）----sale 买酒
tranquil（平静）----quiet
四．逆序重排记忆法
yaw（船，飞机等偏航）------way 与正常路相反
yarn（纱线）------ ray 光线
salacious（好色的）----lasa 拉萨人好色
turgid（浮肿的，浮夸的）----big 大[浮肿的，浮夸的都有大之义]
vagabond（浪荡子，流浪者）----bag 浪荡子背着包四处流浪
valediction（告别演说）----leave 离开+dict 词根说=离开时说的话
vile（可恨的）----evil
五．倒置记忆法
turpitude（邪恶，卑鄙）-----pi---- bi（汉拼鄙）
wile（诡计）----mile 著名琵琶曲"十里埋伏"描述的是策略
vista（远景，展望）---visit（加词推出看）+ ta变为fa（far协音，远）=-朝远看
shoddy（劣质的，冒充好货的）----shop（商店，现在人们去商店总会想到假货）
wan（衰弱）------man 人正常时不衰弱，不成个人样时才衰弱
六．汉拼记忆法
twinge（剧痛，刺痛）---ge 刀割推出痛
tumult（吵闹）---tumu 土木工程，想象建筑工地上又吵又闹
puissance（权利）---pu+I 中国末代皇帝，皇帝有权
virtuosity（精悍技巧，高超）----tu（突出） 精悍技巧，高超当然突出啦！
Venal（惟利是图的，贪赃王法的）-----v（希腊字母表五协音同无，无王法）+nal 重排后汉拼为lan（烂）na（拿）=无王法烂拿 由此推出前义 ADDING：有一词vernal（春季的）仅多一个r，好记因为spring中含r
Uncanny（神秘的）----un表否定不+can协音同看=不能看到的肯定是神秘的
七．中英结合记忆法
tribulation（苦难，灾难）----tri（前缀表三）+bu（汉拼表不）=六零年为三年自然灾害，人们吃不上，喝不上，推出灾难之义，lation为名词词尾不必考虑
tresses（女人的长发）---tree树+sses丝=树干象人的躯干，由树干向下垂下来的枝条就象女人的头发丝，比如柳树
vaunt（吹嘘，炫耀）----v（希腊字母表五）+ aunt（姨）=五姨（同中国前外交部长wuyi协音，搞外交的都能吹嘛！）
daunt（使胆怯，使畏缩）----d（third） 中国传奇人物黄飞鸿和十三姨的故事大家皆知，十三姨很勇敢，而原词不含三，只含三的尾巴d，推出不够勇敢，故取反义胆怯。
Gaunt (憔悴的，消瘦的)-----从读音与高协音，联想高姨病入膏肓
Whine（哀哭）----h喝 + wine酒=我们有这样的印象，酒喝多的人会醉的又哭又闹
Voluptuous（沉迷酒色的）-----up表上+ tu表吐=指这样的人天天喝的上吐下泻，其他字母元素不必考虑
Welsh（赖债不还，失信）-----welsh读音协同wealth，而sh音同失，联想由于赖债不还，而使我失去财富，同时对方也失去信义
Wallow（沉溺于）---low协音同搂，搂着不放表沉溺于
Valetudinarian（体弱的人）----ale酒+tu吐=一喝酒就吐只有体弱的人才这样
八．象形记忆法
vortex（旋涡）---- 词中o形状象旋涡，同时易于vertex（顶点）相区别
pulley（滑轮，滑车）-----pulleye（加词记忆法）眼睛形状圆形如轮子
vitriolic（尖酸，尖刻的）----tri（前缀表三，此处表三角形） 三角形的每一角都为尖的，突出尖
woo（向女人求爱，争取---的支持）----o o 代表两张嘴，原词两义均需用嘴说
wiggle（扭动，蠕动）-----g 形状弯曲的样子
vent（发泄情绪，开孔）------ten（10 倒序法）10中0表孔，发泄情绪也需要有孔喷发
九．近似字母转换记忆法
translucent（半透明）----- luc=look 正常为look，而此处为luc，说明看不清
lucubration（刻苦研究）-----lucu=luuc（look）刻苦研究需认真看
turmoil（混乱）-----turm（turn）+ oil = 将油搅拌（turn）推出混乱

荷兰vs新加坡 希望能收到大家的宝贵意见
如果从润的角度出发，应该选哪个呢？Eur已经交了学费和保证金了，ntu学费是eur的差不多三倍了。各位大神可以给一些宝贵意见吗？
CS选Offer：IC ESE ACSE（应用计算科学与工程） vs NTU Applied AI（应用AI）
IC学校好点，但是NTU的专业更好？毕竟在计算机学院下
cs项目海德堡大学和瑞典cth（有奖学金）二选一
目前比较中意的有瑞典查尔姆斯理工大学（给了75%奖学金），专业是计算机科学：算法逻辑语言，比较好转ai好读博一点 海德堡大学排名比较高，德国也一直比较喜欢 不知道选哪个
选校求助
瑞典的皇家理工学院的Chemical Engineering for Environment and Energy(QS 73，学费360000SEK)，德国的拜罗伊特大学的Battery Material technology(QS 448，免学费)，对于拜罗伊特大学，我比较喜欢电池材料这个专业，（本科阶段我有参与过一年关于醇氧化的科研训练项目，实验试剂的气味刺激性很强，腐蚀性也很强，所以我不大喜欢有机方向的研究）另一方面我很喜欢德国，而且少去近30万的学费，经济负担会小很多，对我的心理负担也会少。对于瑞典皇家理工，它的QS排名高，回国更好就业，但我更倾向于继续攻读博士，或许影响不是很大。另一方面，我前几天联系了学院里一位瑞典皇家理工毕业的老师，他说有机会可以推荐我去他之前的大组，或许读博会更加容易。
