楼主没说明这楼规则， 请问要做什么？

其实我觉得学英文不应该只学单字的含义， 应该包括他的用法，词类（就是noun, adjective, verb 还是adverb等等。。 这些东西叫词类吗？ agak 的）

我觉得很多简单的词也应该要学习， 不用特地去学一些深奥难懂的大词（除非是学术上需要）

我个人觉得phrasal verb 很有意思， 可是很难掌握。 可是一般的生活用语都是这些， 请问要怎样才搞懂这些词面相似， 可是意思查十万八千里的phrasal verb ?

===A phrasal verb is a verb plus a preposition or adverb which creates a meaning different from the original verb.=====

哈哈...我懶得說明，大家應該都知道了吧？就是用樓上提供的詞匯的最后一個字母作為開頭的字母......以此類推......你說的有道理，學習詞匯不要只學單詞，所以我提供例句。還有圖片是為了不顯得那么沉悶......
有例句，有圖片......比較創新吧？

Oil Painting



Oil painting，油画最早起源于欧洲，大约15世纪时由荷兰人发明的，用亚麻子油调和颜料，在经过处理的布或板上作画，因为油画颜料乾后不变色，多种颜色调和不会变得肮脏，画家可以画出丰富、逼真的色彩。油画颜料不透明，覆盖力强，所以绘画时可以由深到浅，逐层覆盖，使绘画产生立体感。油画适合创作大型、史诗般的巨作。成为西方绘画史中的主体绘画方式，现在存世的西方绘画作品主要是油画作品。绝大部分壁画作品也是用油画颜料和创作方式制作的。19世纪后期，由于科技发展，许多新材料应用于油画领域，如丙烯颜料，油漆等。

Architecture



建筑学，从广义上来说，是研究建筑及其环境的学科。
在通常情况下，以及按其作为外来语所对应的词语（由欧洲至日本再至中国）的本义，它更多的是指与建筑设计和建造相关的艺术和技术的综合。因此，建筑学是一门横跨工程技术和人文艺术的学科。
建筑学所涉及的建筑艺术和建筑技术、以及作为实用艺术的建筑艺术所包括的美学的一面和实用的一面，它们虽有明确的不同但又密切联系，并且其分量随具体情况和建筑物的不同而大不相同。在某一建筑物中可能某些因素很强而其余因素很弱，但在其它建筑物中情况则可能迥异。

PYRAMID  =  金字塔

A pyramid is a building where the outer surfaces are triangular and converge at a point. The base of a pyramid can be trilateral, quadrilateral, or any polygon shape, meaning that a pyramid has at least four faces (base plus at least three triangular faces). The five-face square pyramid is a common version.

A pyramid's design, with the majority of the weight closer to the ground, means that less material higher up on the pyramid will be pushing down from above: this distribution of weight allowed early civilizations to create stable monumental structures.
