已经第二次看到这个“检验美国高中生英文水平的100个单词”了,据说是The American Heritage Dictionary的编辑们精心编辑的,他们认为“这100个单词对于高中毕业生来说,虽然无法做到完全翔实地反映语言水平,但仍然是一个很好的评判标准”,主编Steven Kleinedler说:“我们选择的单词,如果你知道如何正确运用,那么你将在语言方面没有问题”。
需要说明的是,这个最早的出处地址我还没找到,无法判断其说法是否准确。
微友@vieuxcheval希望我有时间的时候对这些词拆解一下,我先把这些词发在下面,大家可以先看一看这100个单词能认识多少个?之后我将陆续给出我的拆分、解词。
