2、是，要能理解并运用大量成语。 英语有 1000 多个成语，而且本族语使用者常常在不自觉的情况下频繁使用它们。这就造成了与本族语使用者的沟通不畅。hat is an idi? an idi is a grup f rds hih, hen used tgether, has a different eaning fr the ne hih the individual rds have fr exaple:什么是成语呢?一个成语就是一组词，当结合在一起使用时，其意与单个词语所表达的意思均不相同。例如：-h d u n that sid and nan have separated你怎么知道席德和

5、 infral and are best used in spen rather than ritten english我们使用成语是要表达其它词语无法如此清晰或如此巧妙表达的东西。我们经常会运用比喻和象征以便尽可能清晰地描述事物，因而可以尽可能有效地阐述我们的观点。比如，in a nutshell 表明的意思是，用很少几个词来涵盖所要表达的全部意思。成语往往是非正式的，最好用于口语，而不要用在非书面表达中。ne f the best as t learn an idi is b ling at the ntext in hih it is used this an be dne b nent
6、rating n the rest f the sentene and tr t guess the eaning an idis are nt that diffiult t understand hen nsidered in their ntext fr exaple:学习成语的最好方法之一是查看它所在的上下文。而这可以通过通读句子其它部分来实现，并试着猜测其意。当把许多成语放在上下文中考虑，理解起来就不那么难了。例如：e are ging t have a surprise part fr t trr its a seret s please dnt let the at ut f t
7、he bag明天，我们要给汤姆举办一个惊喜聚会。这是一个秘密，因此请不要泄露秘密。let the at ut f the bag is an idi iagine u dnt n hat this idi eans; b ling at the rds preeding it shuld be eas t guess that the speaer des nt ant u t tell t abut the surprise part therefre, let the at ut f the bag ust ean sething lie reveal a seret r tell a s
8、eretlet the at ut f the bag 是一个成语。设想你不知道这个成语的意思;如果看看之前的单词，就会很容易地猜出，讲话者是不想让你跟汤姆谈及惊喜聚会的事情。因此，let the at ut f the bag 一定是揭露秘密或泄露秘密之类的意思。ther exaples:其它例子：he as n the arpet last ee fr being late t r three ties上星期，他由于迟到三次而受到批评。it as a ver lng reprt it t e three hurs t ade thrugh那是一个很长的报告。我花了三个小时才总算读完它。le

10、h ativities suh as fighting, sailing and hunting as ell as being quite speialist in eaning, se f the rds in idis ere used t r three hundred ears ag, r lnger, and an be a little bsure here are se exaples:然而，成语通常很难理解。你也许能够通过上下文来猜测其意，但如果不能的话，那么就不易理解其意了。譬如，很多成语起源于英国人钟爱的传统活动，如搏斗、航海和狩猎。其不仅在意思上是十分特殊的，而且成语中
11、的有些词是二、三百年前，甚至是在更久远年代使用的词汇，因此可能有点晦涩难懂。以下是一些例子：-n that the prie inister has been eleted there ill be a lt f eing fr psitin t get the e psts in his adinistratin (hrse raing)由于首相已被选定，所以在谋求其政府要职的过程中将会出现许多欺诈牟利的行为。(赛马)-i finall ran the b t earth in a send-hand bshp in ales i had been searhing fr it fr thr
12、ee ears (hunting)我最终在威尔士的一家旧书书店里觅求到了这本书。我找这本书已经有三年的时间了。(打猎)-the t her ideas n bard and deided t inrease the budget (sailing)他们考虑了她的意见，并决定增加预算。(航海)-u shuld fall in ith ur arrangeents; e ant ae alternative plans fr u (ar)你应该同意我们的安排，我们不可能再为你另做安排。(军队)-e sa the bss at the bar but e gave hi a ide berth e
13、did nt ant t tal t hi then (sailing)我们在酒吧里见到了老板，但我们避开了他。我们那时不想与他说话。(航海)hat is the best a t learn idis? it is best t learn idis as u d vabular in ther rds, selet and ativel learn idis hih ill be useful t u rite the idi in a relevant and pratial sentene s that u ill be able t reeber its eaning easil if u an, rerd the idis in a file and n a ard alng ith ther rds and idis hih have siilar eanings学习成语的最好方法是什么?最好就是像学单词一样学成语。换句话说，要选出并主动学习那些对你有用的成语。把这个成语写在一句与之相关、有实际意义的句子中，这样你就可以轻易记住它的意思了。如果可以的话，你可以把这些成语记录在那些写有意思相近的其它单词或成语的卡片上，收在文件中。
