¶ Study phrases in addition to single vocabulary.

[008] stop translating in your head！（2020-06-13）

The next tip is study phrases in addition to single vocabulary words.

So, yes of course, vocabulary is important, but I find it personally very very useful to look at how a vocabulary word is used in a phrase, because sometimes using it in a phrase helps you understand the nuance of that vocabulary word really really well.

So if I like a word, like "crazy" for example in English, depending on the situation where the word "crazy" is used, it could mean something different. it could mean like a person who is mentally confused or mixed up, it could also mean something really good, it could mean something really bad.

So if we look only at the word "crazy", it's quite difficult to understand really the meaning of the word. But if you look at the way the word is used in a phrase you can get a lot more information.

So take a look at the way people use words in phrases, not just a single vocabulary word. You can learn a lot more that way, I think.

¶ 除了单词之外，还要学习短语

[008] 培养英语思维，不要在脑海中翻译中文了。

下一个技巧就是，不仅要学习单词，还要学习短语。

当然，词汇很重要，但是我个人认为关注一个单词在短语中怎么使用的也很重要。因为有时候使用一个短语可以帮助你更好地理解一个单词的细微差别（nuance）

比如我说一个英语单词：“crazy”，他的含义就取决与所使用的场景而不同。他可以表示一个人精神上的混乱，也可以表示一些事情真好，也可以表示一些事情很糟糕。

所以，如果我们仅仅看到crazy这个单词，就很难理解他真正的含义。但是如果你关注单词在短语中的使用就可以获取到更多的信息。

所以，应该关注一个单词在短语中使用的方式，而不仅仅是背单个的单词。我认为那样的话，你就可以学到更多。
