英语词组全书(全两册)试读：
前言
英语作为世界通用语，长期占据着不可替代的优势地位。现代人若想跻身世界大舞台，拥有出色的英语能力是必备条件之一。当今社会竞争激烈，提高英语水平是增强个人竞争力的重要途径。所以，无论怎么强调英语的重要性都不为过。
近年来，笔者先后编写了《英语词缀词典》和《英语词根词典》，现在《英语词组全书》也和各位读者见面了，希望这三本书能为广大英语学习者提供优秀的词汇学习方案。
笔者曾多年在大学授课，通过一点一滴的积累，整理并积攒了大量讲义。在留学期间，也走访了伦敦、纽约、华盛顿等地的多家大型书店和图书馆，收集了大量的资料。本书便是以这些资料为基础编纂而成的。本书的10000多个词组以英语会话和写作中必需的基本动词、基本介词和基本名词为主轴编辑而成，包含4000多个短语动词、6000多个习语和俚语。
本书运用语义学理论对词组进行科学的拆解、分析，旨在帮助读者改变以往死记硬背的词汇学习方式，采用联想词组意义的方式达到自然熟记的目的。例如，英语会话书中常出现的短句Hold on for a minute，其中hold on表示“不挂断电话”，如果已掌握了表示“继续”的副词on和表示“拿”的基本动词hold，就可以自然地联想出hold on“拿着听筒使通话继续”的含义。再如，短句Come on, take a chance中，从take“执行”和chance“风险”的字面意思，也不难推导出take a chance有“冒险”的含义。
词组一直都被认为是英语高级会话、写作以及考试中的最后一道难关，很多人因无法逾越这道难关而备受挫折，甚至感到绝望。本书便是为帮助大家突破这道难关而编写的。本书可供以下人员选用和参考：备战TOEFL、GRE等出国考试的考生，备战研究生入学英语考试、大学英语四六级、专四专八的考生，需要用英语进行工作交流的职场人士，本书也适合那些需要系统提高英语词汇能力的普通英语学习者，如想完全听懂、看懂英文节目，读懂TIME、NEWSWEEK、READER'S DIGEST的学生，想使用高级英语口语、用准确英语写出英文日记的英语学习者。
本书结构如下：
第一部分 利用动词扩大词组量
本部分分为两章：第一章“基本动词研究”和第二章“补充动词研究”。
第一章分为20个LESSON，讲解20个基本动词涉及的词组，先概述动词的基本含义，再具体讲解该动词涉及的词组。由于基本动词涉及的词组众多，为了方便读者制订学习计划，本章将动词涉及的词组内容平均划分到若干个LECTURE中，每个LECTURE中讲解5个词组。第二章讲解90个补充动词涉及的词组。
第二部分 利用介词扩大词组量
本部分分为两章：第一章“基本介词研究”和第二章“补充介词研究”。
第一章分为5个LESSON，讲解5个基本介词涉及的词组，先概述介词的基本含义，再具体讲解该介词涉及的词组。本章将介词涉及的词组内容平均划分到若干个LECTURE中，每个LECTURE中讲解5个词组。第二章讲解4个补充介词涉及的词组。
前两部分的正文讲解最重要、最常用的词组，在每个LESSON后的插页中，本书还补充介绍了一些使用频率较高的相关词组，供读者拓展知识。
除此之外，本书还包含1000个对话形式的完句填空题。这些练习题内容题材多样，有助于培养学习者的语感，提高口语能力。此外，每个LESSON结尾都配有REVIEW TEST，帮助读者复习所学内容，检测阶段性学习成果。
第三部分 模拟题
这一部分提供了10份MODEL TEST，包括150道同义选择题和150道完句填空题，题目中包含前面章节学过的词组。因此，这些模拟题也可以兼做总复习和自我检测之用。REVIEW TEST和MODEL TEST中的习题，编入了TOEFL、GRE、四六级、考研、知名外企招聘笔试等中的词汇考点，对备战考试的读者有所帮助。
附录 补充词组
附录收录约3000个词组。这些词组的使用频率及重要性均不亚于第一部分和第二部分的词组。因此希望大家能够充分重视。另外，为便于大家学习，这里还特别用方框将基本动词和基本介词相关补充词组单独整理标注出来，希望大家能够联系之前学过的基本动词和基本介词部分加以学习。
本书编纂于寒风刺骨的冬季，每一页都渗透着笔者的辛勤汗水，蕴含着笔者的最深的诚意，本书可谓笔者生命的一部分。故此希望本书的所有读者都能尽心尽力地对待每一个词组和每一道习题。掌握本书中10000多个词组不可能一蹴而就，需要制订一个系统的长期学习计划。若能在大学毕业前将这些词组全部掌握并灵活运用，就可以获得不亚于英美人士的英语词组运用能力。在此基础上，若还能掌握《英语词缀词典》和《英语词根词典》中的词缀、词根用法，那在词汇运用方面将如虎添翼。
我确信，本书一定会最大限度地帮助大家解决在英语学习过程中碰到的诸多词组问题。希望它能成为大家词组学习用书的理想选择。当然，本书还存在一些不足之处，对此我将虚心接受同领域专家学者和读者的批评指正。
最后，将本书献给在人生旅途中追寻梦想、不断拼搏的所有人！编者
