英语笔记《绝望主妇第一季》p1

看剧配套视频资源 :感谢B站UP主 FM0400聆听洛杉矶 的分享
绝望的主妇第一季】全对话 全剧单词笔记


啰嗦几句... ...
食用指南:这个视频每一句都会停顿一下,一是为了练习你的听力,先听后看,如果只是看字幕能看懂,是远远不够的,所以在练习的时候,尽量在没有字幕的时候反复听,听懂句子。二是为了留时间给你跟读句子,先听后读,听和说往往是一起进步的,所以要经常张嘴模仿,体会他们的重读/弱读/连读/浊化,对一些人来说可能很难,那就多暂停,一点点消化。当然为了不影响你看剧的快乐,还是老样子,看三遍,慢慢来。更多学习心得,请参考另一篇文章:看剧学英语指南
立flag:根据视频的分p更新,通常一集分3p,尽量每天更一p的学习笔记。这个系列的笔记涉及到的单词仅仅是剧里的意思,我变懒了,很多词的一词多义要自己去查咯。
顺带说一句,我的解释和例句都来自 剑桥英语字典, 很正规的又简洁的全英语网上字典。那就直入主题吧!
