如果问一个中学生:能分清“大”与“太”吗?能分清“木”与“术”吗?他很可能会觉得智商受到侮辱,因为分清这种只差一个笔划的常用字对于一个中学生来说太简单了。
可是分清text与test这种只差一个字母的常用词怎么就成了问题了呢?
事实上,不要说小学生,就是很多高中生在区分这类常用词上也觉得很困难,不信你试试:
- crash, crack
- flew, flow
- single, signal
- publish, public, republic
- assess, access
- adopt, adapt
- desert, dessert
- attention, intention
- campus, campaign, champion, champagne
- smile, simile
- explode, exploit, explore
- deserve, reserve, preserve
- mystery, misery
- quantity, quality
- model, medal, metal, mental
- introduction, instruction
- require, acquire, inquire, enquire
- altitude, latitude, attitude, aptitude
- tough, though, through, thorough, thought,
- principle, principal
- accident, incident, coincident
- celebrate, celebrity,
(您要是分不清,可以看看这里:近形词)
本质上,分清这些单词与分清“木”与“术”、“大”与“太”是一样的简单,之所以分不清,就是因为“用”得太少了!
