Hi this is Laura Turner and today we are going to talk about how to improve your vocabulary. I'm a writer and I have been a writer since I was a very tiny little girl and every time I've ever read a book, I have improved my vocabulary. So number one for improving your vocabulary is to read. Read as much as possible in fact read books that are difficult to read.
嗨，我是勞拉·特納，今天我們談?wù)勅绾螖U(kuò)充你的詞匯量。我是一個(gè)作家，當(dāng)我是一個(gè)小女孩的時(shí)候就開(kāi)始寫作了。每當(dāng)我讀一本書的時(shí)候我的詞匯量就會(huì)增大。因此首先要擴(kuò)充詞匯量就要閱讀。讀的越多越好，而且書越難越好。

For example, The Sound and The Fury by William Faulkner. And when you read, take the words that you do not understand and look them up in the dictionary. And figure out, and there is a word that I found in this book particularly was difficult for me to figure out what it meant, fecund, fecund means sort of from the earth and fertile ok. So therefore that word is used a lot in this novel so I went and I looked it up and now I know that word forever, because the novel is very long and it was used many times.
比如，威廉·?？思{的《喧囂與憤怒》。當(dāng)你閱讀這本書時(shí)，找出你不知道的詞然后查詞典。這本書有個(gè)單詞我很難理解，fecund，fecund意思是來(lái)自土壤而且肥沃。這個(gè)單詞在這個(gè)小說(shuō)里用了很多次，我查過(guò)它后我再也忘不掉了，因?yàn)檫@本小說(shuō)很長(zhǎng)，見(jiàn)到這個(gè)詞的次數(shù)很多。

Second thing you can do is play games, play games like scrabble, play games like cranium, things like that will help you to improve your vocabulary and will be fun for you to do. Number three, take a Latin class. Learning Latin will help you learn the roots of words that you use everyday and therefore will help you be able to figure out what other words mean that you do not know. Just by judging from the roots of the words that you see.
第二就是通過(guò)玩游戲來(lái)增加詞匯量，像拼字游戲、腦經(jīng)急轉(zhuǎn)彎等，這樣的游戲既有趣又能幫你擴(kuò)充詞匯量。第三，學(xué)習(xí)拉丁文。拉丁文能有助于你對(duì)詞根的了解，因此你可以對(duì)即使不認(rèn)識(shí)的詞也能猜出其含義，僅僅從詞根就可以知道意思。

And number four is write, write and look up words that you want to use if you feel like you need a better word for a certain sentence or situation, go to your thesaurus and actually you know find a word that you do know and look up therefore other words that you don't know. And use them. And use different words frequently. You can also buy things like a little word a day calendar, stuff like that will help you. And there are plenty of ways to improve your vocabulary and those are just some of them.
第四就是寫作，如果你想用更好或更合適的詞來(lái)寫句子，查詞典，找一個(gè)你不知道的詞，再查查別的你不認(rèn)識(shí)的同義詞。經(jīng)常用不同的詞寫作。你還可以買一些每日一詞的日歷，類似這樣的東西能幫助你記憶單詞。其實(shí)有很多種擴(kuò)充詞匯量的方法，這里只是其中一些。
