Watch movies
一、看电影

Watching the movie version of your favorite book isn’t just a guilty pleasure, it’s also a vocabulary booster.
看你最喜欢的书的电影版的不仅仅会给你带来一种带有罪恶感的快乐，利用得当，它也会是一个积累词汇的助推器。

“If you see the movie version of your favorite book you’re likely to have a deeper understanding and knowledge of the words in it,” says Neuman. “Seeing and reading something on the same topic is really important.” The phenomenon is called dual coding; you read something, then see it on the screen and end up remembering better because you have a visual representation, she says.
“如果你看到你最喜欢的书的电影版，你可能会对里面出现的词汇有一个更深的理解和认识，”纽曼说。“看并读相同的主题的电影或书籍是非常重要的。”这种行为叫做双重编码；你读过的东西，然后在屏幕上再次看到它，记忆效果会更好，这是视觉再现的作用，她说。

Make good use of your tablet
二、好好利用你的平板电脑

Next time you’re reading an e-book and come across a word you don’t know, try highlighting it with your finger and looking for the option to look it up.
下次你阅读电子书的时候，如果遇到一个你不知道的单词，试着用手指点亮它，寻找相应的选项来查找它的意思。

Many tablets provide a dictionary definition in a little bubble, so you wont lose your place or have to switch between Google and your novel.
许多平板电脑会在一个小气泡里面供一个字典定义，所以你不用离开读到的位置，在谷歌和你的小说之间来回切换了。

Read magazines
三、阅读杂志

Don’t just flip through your favorite magazine, really read it. That means don’t just look at the pictures or skim product roundups; pay attention to the articles and photo captions.
不要只浏览你最喜欢的杂志，你要认真地去读它。这意味着不只是看图片或略读产品综述；你要注意文章的内容和图片说明。

According to the Johnson O’Connor Research Foundation, magazines on topics you’re interested in like sports, interior decorating, or health are filled with words you probably don’t think to use in your daily conversations.
根据约翰逊奥康纳研究基金会的研究，杂志里面你感兴趣的话题，比如运动、室内装饰或健康，里面有很多你可能认为在日常谈话中不会用到的词汇。

When you read the next issue, keep an eye out for the words you learned the month before; chances are, you’ll remember what they mean this time.
当你阅读下一期杂志的时候，留意在前一个月学会的词汇；这次很有可能你会记得它们的意思。

Listen to how words sound
四、听单词的发音

Many people won’t remember tricky words unless they come across them frequently.
很多人不会记得不规则的单词，除非他们经常遇到这些词。

But if you hear a word that you think sounds interesting, you become word conscious and start using it yourself, says Neuman.
但是如果你听到一个词，你觉得发音很有趣，你就会产生一种词意识，自己就会开始使用它，纽曼说。

Get out of the house
五、走出家门

“Going places and having new experiences are great ways to build new knowledge. Go to a museum or take advantage of other opportunities where you live. When you open your eyes to new experiences and people, you also get new words,” says Neuman.
“外出工作和获得新的体验是很好的构建新知识的方式。去博物馆或你住的城市的其他地方。当你扩大眼界，获得新的体验，遇见新的人，你也会学到新的单词，”纽曼说。
