什么是词串（word strings）

词串：指的就是代表明确意义的词汇群体，不同于词组，它更是词组的常见应用。

赋予积累词串的意义：

1
3月初和老婆上海游玩，遇见了一家三口的葡萄牙人，我再用英文跟他们交流是出现了一些问题。有很多想表达的汉语意思因为找不到对应的英语词串导致无法有效沟通。我下了决心，哪怕每天只有两个词串，我也要慢慢积累出1000以提高自己的口语表达能力。
2
提高英文写作能力，听力口语能力。提高阅读能力，培养只字不差的阅读习惯。提高翻译水平。提高编程阅读能力，可以说，你积累的越多，复习回顾的越多，你的英语越牛，用得越好。
3
而且，如果把这些词串当成练习口才的中文词汇，那么你的表达能力就插上了翅膀。
Writing 1000 word strings a day changed my life. I don’t know how it will change yours. But I’d recommend doing it.（写1000个英语词串改变我的英语水平，我不知道它会怎样改变你的英语水平。但是我推荐你这样做）
4
如果再搜集科技文献和编程内容的时候积累词串，那么相关的技术贴读懂就会很容易。因此感兴趣的话题就多一些搜集整理词串。
