词汇是语言学习中至关重要却又最常被误解的环节。很多学习者倾向于通过背单词表来快速积累，初期看似有效，却往往在需要使用时感到词汇“消失无踪”。这是因为语言始终存活于语境之中——孤立的单词难以扎根记忆，而当词汇出现在句子、对话或真实情境里时，大脑不仅能理解其意义，更能感知其用法、情感色彩和常见搭配，记忆也因此更加牢固。在语境中学习，让我们逐渐领会单词该如何使用，而不仅仅是它是什么意思，这种方式减少了依赖翻译的习惯，帮助我们将英语直接与情境、概念相连，从而提升思维的流畅性与表达的自然度。请允许自己少学一点，但学得更深：一个从句子中学会的单词，胜过十个孤立背诵的词汇。当你不断在不同的语境中与同一个词相遇，它便会自然而然融入你的语言能力，完成从“记得”到“会用”的真正转变。
