考GRE的时候背了前2/3，刚才把剩下的迅速翻完，感觉是：这本书让背单词成为一种享受。读者不是在背一个个单词，而是在建起一个单词和词根、希腊语和拉丁语、欧洲美国历史文化之间丰富互动的网络。背完一遍保证对英语形成一些全新的直觉，以及引起你学拉丁语的欲望。

阅毕，相见恨晚。大一左右读应该大有裨益。当然如果我能做到我就不是现在的我了//过半。解释性文字里截止目前出现黑客帝国2次，巴西1次，银翼杀手1次，trekkie1次，尼尔盖曼1次，霍比特人1次。作者绝对是幻迷···

与Word power made easy 之比较

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

两本书各有千秋，比较来看：（以下word power made easy用M代替，webster's vocabulary builder用W代替） 1.M趣味性更强，让人在读故事的过程中自然而然就能把单词记住，幽默风趣; W与市面上教人以词根的方式背单词的书略同，如果把M比作是活力四射的年轻教师在教你，W则有... (展开)
