大家好，我是颜军，今天跟大家分享的是我对于如何学习单词的理解。 

在学习单词的运用时一定不要忽略语法的重要性。今天在剑桥高级英语短语动词中的第32单元的练习中遇到这样一句话 I really think that it is time you applied yourself much more seriously to your studies.(KNUCKLE) 答案是I really think that it is time you knuckled down to your studies. 但是不知道大家有没有注意到这两个句子中用的是applied跟knuckled？ 我就觉得很奇怪，为啥要用ed过去式呢？后来我想起在剑桥中级英语语法的Unit35中有讲到：

It's time you did something = 'you should have done it already or started it' . We often use this structure to criticise or to complain:

It's time the children were in bed. It's long after their bedtime.

Knuckle down: start to work or study hard, especially if you have not been working very hard before.

大学里的期末考试之前有基本有一个月不到的时间可以用来复习功课 e.g. I'm going to have to really knuckle down to my work if I want to pass my final exams.  在这里我想到cram这个词，可以用来形容在考试前临时死记硬背。在期末考试前一天晚上，寝室楼道里都是背书的人，黑压压的一片，这里可以用We were packed in like sardines. 是不是特别形象。

1. We were packed in like sardines. 

2. I often feel like packing this job in and finding something else. ( stopping doing something, especailly a job）

3. I wish I could be one of those people who sail through exams and still pack in a huge amount in their spare time.( manage to do a lot of activities in a period of time )

以上三个句子分别出现在剑桥高级英语词汇的Unit62跟剑桥高级短语动词的Unit32与Unit28 我把这三个句子整理在一起有利于记忆。

It's not a bad job, and some days I can get off early if the boss isn't around. 这里的get off 可以用 knock off 替换  又想到knock it off跟cut it out 还有knockoff（冒牌货） 又想到在Norwegian Wood中有用过knockout(extremely attractive or impressive) 等等。

我觉得学习单词得有发散性思维，从一个单词想到其他的单词来替换，想想近义词，反义词，以及其他的搭配等等。
