英语是我们现代学习中经常遇到的一项内容，如何记忆英语文章成为了很多朋友头痛的事情，现在我们也是运用背课文万能公式来记忆英语文章，希望能帮助到我们学习英语的朋友。

英语文章的记忆其实本质与我们的中文记忆是一样的，都是语言的运用，都是用来说明和描述一定内容的，都是建立在我们的生活基础之上的。

我们对英语或者中文描述的内容都可以找到一定的画面来处理和加工的，首先都需要运用我们的想象力进行画面的想象帮助我们理解，然后找出关键词，再次进行画图记忆法、关键词联想、逻辑联想、思维导图等各种方法灵活运用起来，将关键词形成一个整体的画面或者一个逻辑体系，以此来帮助我们的记忆。

下面是我们选自《新概念英语》中的一篇文章，以此为例来讲解背课文万能公式在英语文章记忆中的运用。

Futurechampions
未来的冠军

Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age. At a special swimming pool in Los Angeles, children become expert at holding their breath under water even before they can walk. Babies of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water. It is not long before they are so accustomed to swimming that they can pick up weights from the floor of the pool. A game that is very popular with these young swimmers is the underwater tricycle race. Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven feet under water. The children compete against each other to reach the other end of the pool. Many pedal their tricycles, but most of them prefer to push or drag them. Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up for breath even once. Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time will tell. Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us who cannot swim five yards before they are gasping for air.

在英语记忆过程中，有一个最重要的基础就是对每一个单词意思要有一定的认识，在记忆这篇英语文章前，我们需要消除陌生单词，解决陌生单词后，我们再来熟悉下这篇文章介绍的大概内容，此时可以参考译文快速了解。

参考译文：

实验证明，儿童在很小的时候就可以开始学习游泳。在洛杉矶的一个特设的游泳池里，孩子们甚至在还没有学会走路时就已经能熟练地在水下屏住呼吸了。两个月的婴儿并未显得不愿意入水。他们很快便适应了游泳，以致能捡起池底的物品。这些幼小的游泳运动员非常喜爱的一种游戏是水下三轮车比赛。三轮车并排放在7英尺深的游泳池底上。孩子们比赛看谁先到达游泳池的另一端。很多孩子用脚蹬车，但多数孩子更愿意推或是拉着三轮车。有些孩子能够跑完游泳池的全长而不用露出水面换气。他们将来是否能成为奥林匹克的冠军，这只能由时间来作出回答。与此同时，他们对我们中的那些游不了5码就已喘不过气来的人应该是种鼓舞。

陌生单词、译文都是帮助我们了解认识这篇文章，熟悉文章所介绍的内容。
接下来就是找关键词的步骤。

记忆这段英文，可以用画图记忆法，也可以用关键词联想法，也可以用逻辑联想法等方法来记忆。我们来看看如何记忆这段文章，上面段落当中被涂黑的就是我们找出来的关键词。

实验室里（Experiments）建造了一个游泳池（swimming pool），训练孩子们在水下呼吸（breath under water），两个月大的婴儿（Babies of two months old）进入水中（enter the water），孩子们适应了游泳（accustomed to swimming） ，还能在游泳时拣起物品（pick up weights），还在玩起了水下三轮车的比赛（underwater tricycle race），比赛在水下七英尺（seven feet）处进行。比赛（compete）从游泳池这头到另一头。有些孩子用脚蹬（pedal）车,更多的孩子推或者是拉（push or drag）。有些孩子能游完全程（cover the whole length）而不用换气，也许他们是未来的奥运冠军（future Olympic champions），可以用时间（time）来证明了。同时我们也受到了鼓舞（encourage），尤其是对不能游五步（swim five yards）人来说更是如此。

通过这样的联想，我们回忆的时候需要回忆相应的关键词，以关键词来回忆相应的英文内容。基本上这就是我们的英语文章记忆的原理，其本质真是与我们的中文文章一样的。在这个过程中我们需要注意的是，想象的画面要清晰，这样记忆的效果才会更好。想象在一个游泳池里做实验，有一群小孩子的画面再接着涌现出来，上面的联结就能依次地回想起来。

接下来，再看一篇英语文章，以此来演示如何进行英语文章的记忆。

       
英国人讲的是英语吗？

I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me. I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. he answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speak English?

参考译文：

我终于到了伦敦。火车站很大，又黑又暗。我不知道去饭店的路该怎么走，于是向一个搬运工打听。我的英语讲得不但非常认真，而且咬字也非常清楚。然而搬运工却不明白我的话。我把问话重复了很多遍。他终于听懂了。他回答了，但他讲得既不慢也不清楚。“我是个外国人，”我说。于是他说得慢了，可我还是听不懂。我的老师从来不那样讲英语！我和搬运工相视一笑。接着，他说了点什么，这回我听懂了。“您会很快学会英语的！”他说。我感到奇怪。在英国，人们各自说着一种不同的语言。英国人之间相互听得懂，可我却不懂他们的话！他们说的是英语吗？

英语文章的记忆和中文文章的记忆方法是相似的，都是可以运用背课文万能公式来进行记忆。首先找出文章的关键词或者是关键的短语，把主要的信息整理出来，然后尝试把关键词的一些内容串联起来，或者是整理出文章的内在逻辑，通过逻辑来帮助我们进行记忆。

我们先找出这篇文章的关键词：

I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me. I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. he answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speak English?

关键词找出来后，我们发现这篇文章按照事情的发生过程，大致可以分为三个部分。第一部分是到达伦敦及所看到的画面，第二部分是询问路线，第三部分是奇怪英国人说英语的感受。

第一部分内容简单，就是到达arrived伦敦，终于at last，看到的railway station是大big，黑black，暗dark，这个内容是比较容易记下来的。

重点是第二部分，内容相对有点多，我们需要静下心来分析，不要被数量给吓到。作者不知道路did not know the way，询问aske一个搬运工porter。具体的询问的时候要先说话，我们想象自己身处异国，询问那位英国搬运工porter路线，我们说话spoke English的时候就需要小心carefully而且要清楚clearly。可是还是发生了意外，对方还是听不懂could not understand me，作者就重复说repeated my question直到对方听懂。他回答answered问题的时候又出状况，不再慢 slowly或清晰了clearly。作者只好对他说道我是一个外国人foreigner，然后他才慢慢地说slowly，结果作者还是没有听懂，作者老师My teacher从来没有这样说过话。两人彼此对视looked at each other。最后搬运工才说了一些话said something，这次作者听懂了，并且受到了鼓励，作者会很快学会英语learn English的。第二部分的逻辑整理如下：

最后是我的奇怪wonder，这个奇怪也有一个逻辑在里面。在英国，每个人各自说的都不同的语言speaks a different language，他们彼此能听懂English understand，但作者听不懂I don't understand，因此作者才产生疑惑，疑惑他们说的是英语吗Do they speak English？

通过这样整体的逻辑，逐步引导记忆，英语的文章也是能较快的记忆下来。
