《自然学英语》一直主张必须从有限的学习范围,打好坚实的语言基础,通过完全“消化(digestion)“和”“内化“(internalization)来真正掌握。曾经有学生问老师:如何才算词汇基础扎实、厚重?只要牢牢记住这个单词的基本意思和词性算可以了吧?下面我们就以厚重”heavy“这个可能最早就会的单词“来诠释一下:
   很多人知道heavy它主要有两个意思,一个是表示物体的沉重,譬如Heavy furniture沉重的家具,另一个是表示数量多,量大,譬如heavy rain: 倾盆大雨,可是heavy作为形容词也绝不辜负它的“厚重“, 来一起看看下面这些短语: 
1.数量多,量大:
Heavy dinner:丰盛的晚餐
Heavy cream: 高脂奶油
Heavy food: 油腻食物
Heavy liquor:浓烈白酒   
Heavy make-up:浓妆艳抹
Heavy cold:重感冒
Heavy traffic: 交通拥挤
Heavy loss:重大损失
Heavy tax: 重税
Heavy fine:大笔罚款
Heavy buyer: 大买主<主顾>
Heavy drinker: 酒鬼
Heavy smoker: 烟鬼
Heavy sleeper: 熟睡的人
Heavy work:繁重的工作
Heavy day:难受的日子;阴沉的日子;忙碌的日子
Heavy responsibility:重任
Heavy burden: 重担
Heavy schedule: 日程排得很紧
Heavy step: 沉重的脚步 
2.程度严重,引申吃力,沉闷,难处理等
Heavy digging:费力挖掘
Heavy breathing: 呼吸粗重
Heavy sigh: 沉重叹息
Heavy snoring: 鼾声沉重
Heavy accent: 浓重口音
Heavy fighting:激烈战斗
Heavy discussion: 费劲的讨论 
从上面的短语,我们可以总结出heavy可以从三方面来诠释:1.数量多,量大。2. 程度严重。3.力量大。从物体,自然天气到人,精神,可以引申到吃力,迟钝,艰难,严格,难处理等,下面再测试下你能感受到多少heavy在句子中的“威力”:

其实,heavy光它的同义词和反义词据统计大概有183个。我们在学习词汇特别是核心高频词汇时,需要多延伸、广撒网,建立起牢不可破的“词汇铁网”。
然而建立夯实的词汇网,很难一蹴而就,这需要一定时间的投资。然而,我们很多人总是期盼在最短的时间里完成所有的事,我们执迷于不断节省时间,用省下的时间把一切有用的知识一股脑地塞进自己的脑袋里。其实,学习也需要沉淀,每个知识点需要建立起对“时间”的感情,否则你也不一定完全消化得了所学的东西,不会真正成为你自己的。只有等一下,深挖一下你才会懂得即便花上几个小时的学习并没有那么苦,不计较时间甚至能慢慢懂得悠悠学习之趣味,也能够为美好的结果腾出时间,做好准备!在这个过程中,你的阅读,听解能力会慢慢转化成口头表达和书面写作的能力。
如此,即便是今天举行的上海春考英语口试也真的只是小菜一碟!不管怎样,2023年的上海春考今天已经结束, 这里只是祈祷《自然学英语》的亲学生们都能发挥出自己厚重的学习水平,再外加一点点好运!
