初识此书,是因为一位友人(http://www.douban.com/people/46242452/)的提及。我读书很慢,很大程度上依赖于靠谱的书评或者好友的推荐。受益良多,在此多谢。 初初扫一眼目录,尽是单元号,不免有些失望。我已经没有靠高强度练习速推单词量的需求与精力,这样仅有数字牌毫无...
评分从考研前入手到一月份正式开始看,历时有四十天,翻完了这本韦小绿,获益匪浅。就像忽然打开了新的通往单词界的大门,但是光有这本书却还远远不够。 本书一共30个单元,每个单元有八个或者十个词根,每个词根下附上四个单词。每个单元40个单词(包括神话故事或者拉丁借用语),...

其实新版和旧版应该没什么差别的吧……
评分要做的笔记非常多,尤其是希腊语、拉丁语和神话典故中衍生出的词汇。讲解的内容非常到位,只是各个单元对词汇的解读风格有微妙的差别,时而关注包括电影、音乐在内的娱乐话题,时而又跳转到政治与历史;不背单词看这本书也会有很多收益。
