51.    Hesitation: Hesitation is an unwillingness to do something, or a delay in doing it, because you are uncertain, worried, or embarrassed about it. He promised there would be no more hesitations in pursuing reforms....the prime minister's hesitation to accept a ceasefire.
52.    Hesitation: If you say that you have no hesitation in doing something, you are emphasizing that you will do it immediately or willingly because you are certain that it is the right thing to do. The board said it had no hesitation in unanimously rejecting the offer. Some of us had careers, but we had no hesitation in giving them up to work alongside our wives.
53.    Hesitation: if you say that someone does something without hesitation, you are emphasizing that they do it immediately and willingly. The great majority of players would, of course, sign the contract without hesitation. The boy followed without hesitation.
54.    Alongside: If one thing is alongside another thing, the first thing is next to the second.       He crossed the street and walked alongside Central Park.  Much of the industry was located alongside rivers. He waited several minutes for a car to pull up alongside.
55.    Alongside: if you work alongside other people, you all work together in the same place.    He had worked alongside Frank and Mark and they had become friends. Men aged 60 are fighting alongside young boys.
56.    Alongside: If one thing exists or develops alongside another, the two things exist or develop together at the same time. As she makes progress, her personal self-confidence will develop alongside her technique. Alongside the Job Creation Program they launched a Work Experience Program.
57.    Unanimous: When a group of people are unanimous, they all agree about something or all vote for the same thing. Editors were unanimous in their condemnation of the proposals.  They were unanimous that Chortlesby Manor must be preserved. Unanimously:  Today its executive committee voted unanimously to reject the proposals.  The board of ministers unanimously approved the project last week.
58.    Unanimous:     A unanimous vote, decision, or agreement is one in which all the people involved agree.  ...the unanimous vote for Hungarian membership...  Their decision was unanimous.
59.    Committee: A committee is a group of people who meet to make decisions or plans for a larger group or organization that they represent.  ...a committee of ministers.  ...an elected Management Committee who serve the Association on a voluntary basis. ...the Committee for Safety in Medicine...  My reasons were stated in writing and circulated to all committee members.
60.    Voluntary: Voluntary actions or activities are done because someone chooses to do them and not because they have been forced to do them.    Attention is drawn to a special voluntary course in Commercial French.  The scheme, due to begin next month, will be voluntary.     I would only leave here voluntarily if there was a big chance to play abroad.
61.    Voluntary: Voluntary work is done by people who are not paid for it, but who do it because they want to do it. In her spare time she does voluntary work.  He'd been working at the local hostel for the handicapped on a voluntary basis.
62.    Voluntary: A voluntary worker is someone who does work without being paid for it, because they want to do it.  Apna Arts has achieved more with voluntary workers in three years than most organizations with paid workers have achieved in ten.  We depend solely upon our voluntary helpers.
63.    Voluntary: A voluntary organization is controlled and organized by the people who have chosen to work for it, often without being paid, rather than receiving help or money from the government.  Some local authorities and voluntary organizations also run workshops for disabled people.  It has been largely through the voluntary sector that the needs of victims have been met. ...a voluntary hostel for ex-offenders.
64.    Offender: An offender is a person who has committed a crime.  The authorities often know that sex offenders will attack again when they are released.
65.    Offender: You can refer to someone or something which you think is causing a problem as an offender.  The contraceptive pill is the worst offender, but it is not the only drug to deplete the body's vitamin levels.
66.    Vitamin: Vitamins are substances that you need in order to remain healthy, which are found in food or can be eaten in the form of pills.  Lack of vitamin D is another factor to consider.  Healthy people do not need vitamin supplements.

孙老师，什么叫当天返回？

问：孙老师，什么叫当天返回？
答：孙老师现生病住院，特找一段相关的文章，粘贴如下：

摘自《新闻发表的文章》

第八个方法：
一次朗读全部理解英语字典的纵向法查字典，
这是压码法的一个招牌方法

一、    定义：
压码查字典定义：
查英语字典关键是速度，步骤是第三阶段的步骤，方法是纵向法，实施是压码。
何谓压码查字典？看到字典的英文解释和例句以后，查里面一个句子中所有不认识的单词，反过来压住这个新单词解释句子回到上面朗读理解原来的句子。从而完成一个单词查看、抄读、朗读、理解一次完成。
    就是看到字典的英文解释和例句的文字以后，之后一些单词进行朗读是压码朗读；看到字典的英文解释和例句以后，之后一些单词抄写是压码抄写。

二、    方法：
纵向法是可以跨越阶段的练习方法，一次朗读全部理解很具有吸引力。
方法也已经由大量的系列方法逐步固定下来了，现在是一个成熟的方法。
基本方法：
1、练习第一个生词A查字典。
2、打开英文通软件，在左半部分，击右键，点“新建目录”，将课文的生词A输入“未命名文件夹”的名称，建立“A”目录。
3、打开COLLINS电子字典。将该单词A输入单词框，回车后，右边就会出现的单词A的全部解释和例句，用EDIT菜单下的“Copy entry”键将其全部复制下来。
4、回到英文通软件，在右半部分，击右键，点“粘贴”，该单词A的解释和例句就贴在了目录“A”的文本框里。
5、在文本框中逐条朗读单词A的解释和例句，一直到出现第二个生词B。
6、立即在生词“A”目录下面建立新的生词“B”的目录，如上法一样，建立层次结构
7、如果朗读到一个生词“Z”全部理解，则返回其上一级生词“Y”，继续往下查和读。
8、就这样遇到不理解的生词继续往下查找和朗读，遇到全部了解的生词时，就往上一级返回。
9、直到理解了全部生词，回到了生词A的最后一个解释为止。

配套方法：
1、朗读拓展训练查字典，用英语词条复述和总结单词解释。
2、压码抄写字典。
3、高级方法：连环朗读单词长句子、连续听写自己朗读的单词解释和例句。

三、    学习的目的：
1、建立英语思维。因为英语字典是用英语解释单词的意思和用法，了解其习惯用法。
2、学会英语陌生单词的直读能力。
3、学会没有语音的句子的朗读能力。
4、学习具备在大量的朗读和抄写后顺便背单词的能力。

四、    基本要求：
纵向法基本要求：
学会纵向法朗读的方法和程序，达到返回理解；
学会使用英文通建立层次结构的方法。

五、    练习的方向：

  1、练眼睛：
练查看英语字典，训练眼睛（训练眼睛能找到所读的地方，不需要理解意思），旨在训练对英语的反应速度。压多少单词就一次凝视几个单词，开始一般以六个为宜，以后可以根据解释的句子结构将一句自然分段凝视几秒钟，换下一段，凝视—放下—凝视—放下，逐步扩大到压码凝视一个句子的跳跃看英语能力。

2、练舌头：
训练舌头（训练看着文字能跟读磁带，不需理解意思）， 旨在训练对英语的反应速度，同时纠正语音和锻炼口语。开始可以连续朗读一个单词的解释例句10遍—20遍，压码朗读采用看到6个单词（或句子中的结构自然分段）凝视几秒钟，滞后这些单词压码朗读，然后凝视—压码—朗读连续进行，每次完成朗读计时速度。找一个单词生词很多的解释的一句话练习查里面的生词，练习跳跃不同层次的连续查读凝视—压码—朗读ABCDEFG等各个单词解释，返回连续上面层次这个句子的压码朗读。

3、练手写：
训练手（训练用手抄写速度，不需要理解意思），旨在训练对英语的书写反映速度。压码断句抄写，凝视一个句子的自然结构分段几秒钟，压码这些单词抄写，再凝视断句压码抄写新的断句，一直完成一个单词，记录抄写速度。逐步扩大到一次凝视一个句子标点压码抄写，再到一个解释的句子压码抄写，记录速度。

  4、练舌头与手的配合：
一边压码朗读，一边压码抄写，同步进行，压码可以先凝视6个单词，到凝视句子中自然结构断句，到句子的一个标点，到一个完整句子进行抄写。开始慢速均匀朗读，连续压码抄写，然后根据断句间隔强化朗读节奏、表情，进行压码抄写，最后进行朗读提速连续压码抄写，记录抄写速度。提高抄写速度的方法见（英文高速书写运笔要领）一文。

  5、练脑子：
训练大脑（训练看着字典查找，旨在大脑英语思维理解速度），真正做到利用纵向法追根到底查抄读一次理解。缩略法：一个句子解释缩略理解（并列同义反义），代入法：下面层次缩略理解代入上层理解（返回英语理解练习）。

  6、综合练习：
练习一个单词完整解释、例句的朗读理解速度，在练习压码朗读理解、压码抄写理解和压码朗读抄写配合理解，培养一天查找多少英语理解多少，全部理解的能力，记录一天朗读、抄写、理解的单词页数、数量和速度。

祝老师早日康复。

感谢 ligengbeng兄，很详细。
冒昧的问一句，ligengbeng兄是否已经走过了第三阶段？
实际上，问题只有在解决后才能真正明白。所以我现在的真正问题是坚持下去。

不能跳跃，也不能停滞不前。
今天早上听中央九频道。突然有个感觉，千万法真的很科学，每一步都有他的目的作用，不能跳跃式的学习。
现在听中央九，基本都可以听清，没有听懂的一般是陌生的单词，或者，是因为前面有陌生单词，当思考这个单词时，后面的没有听见。在这之前也有听过，不过，基本上是耽误时间。超越了阶段也许是得不偿失的。在没有完成第三阶段的时候，偶尔听听可以提高兴趣。当然，如果时间富余，多听听必然有好处的。如果没有完成第一阶段，那听的时间一定不能少于4个小时，否则没有用处，不如不听。
但，千万法有个缺点就是在每个阶段的时间太长，没有分清主次。
而孙老师很好的解决了这个问题。

20080602
101.    Sense: If you say that someone talks sense, you mean that what they say is sensible.
102.    Eventually: Eventually means in the end, especially after a lot of delays, problems, or arguments. Eventually, the army caught up with him in Latvia. The flight eventually got away six hours late.
103.    Eventually: Eventually means at the end of a situation or process or as the final result of it. Eventually your child will leave home to lead her own life as a fully independent adult. She sees the bar as a starting point and eventually plans to run her own chain of country inns.
104.    Inn: An inn is a small hotel or pub, usually an old one. (OLD-FASHIONED) ...the Waterside Inn.
105.    Pub: A pub is a building where people can have drinks, especially alcoholic drinks, and talk to their friends. Many pubs also serve food. (mainly BRIT)  He was in the pub until closing time. Richard used to run a pub.
106.    Upbringing: Your upbringing is the way that your parents treat you and the things that they teach you when you are growing up. Martin's upbringing shaped his whole life. Sam's mother said her son had a good upbringing and schooling.
107.    Term: If you talk about something in terms of something or in particular terms, you are specifying which aspect of it you are discussing or from what point of view you are considering it. Our goods compete in terms of product quality, reliability and above all variety. Paris has played a dominant role in France, not just in political terms but also in economic power.
108.    Term: if you say something in particular terms, you say it using a particular type or level of language or using language which clearly shows your attitude.  The video explains in simple terms how the new tax works.  The document is expressed in terms that are readily understood and agreed.
109.    Term: A term is a word or expression with a specific meaning, especially one which is used in relation to a particular subject. Myocardial infarction is the medical term for a heart attack.
110.    Term: If you say that something is termed a particular thing, you mean that that is what people call it or that is their opinion of it.  He had been termed a temporary employee.  He termed the war a humanitarian nightmare.
111.    Term: A term is one of the periods of time that a school, college, or university divides the year into.  ...the summer term.  ...the last day of term.
112.    Term: A term is a period of time between two elections during which a particular party or government is in power.  Felipe Gonzalez won a fourth term of office in Spain's election.
113.    Term: A term is a period of time that someone spends doing a particular job or in a particular place....a 12 month term of service... Offenders will be liable to a seven-year prison term.
114.    Term: A term is the period for which a legal contract or insurance policy is valid.    Premiums are guaranteed throughout the term of the policy.   
115.    Term: The term of a woman's pregnancy is the nine month period that it lasts. Term is also used to refer to the end of the nine month period. That makes her the first TV presenter to work the full term of her pregnancy. Women over 40 seem to be just as capable of carrying a baby to term as younger women.
116.    Term: The terms of an agreement, treaty, or other arrangement are the conditions that must be accepted by the people involved in it. ...the terms of the Helsinki agreement...       Mayor Rendell imposed the new contract terms.
117.    Term: If you come to terms with something difficult or unpleasant, you learn to accept and deal with it. She had come to terms with the fact that her husband would always be crippled.
118.    Term: If two people or groups compete on equal terms or on the same terms, neither of them has an advantage over the other. I had at last found a sport where I could compete on equal terms with able-bodied people. The focus was on women gaining access to work on the same terms as men.
119.    Term: if two people are on good terms or on friendly terms, they are friendly with each other. Madeleine is on good terms with Sarah.  We shook hands and parted on good terms.
120.    Term: you use the expressions in the long term, in the short term, and in the medium term to talk about what will happen over a long period of time, over a short period of time, and over a medium period of time.

咱们一起加油！我在学《美国你好》的听懂练习，也请同样关注！

　　我现在压码听懂阶段，练习到第十一册。我要向您请教。

　　“如果没有完成第一阶段，那听的时间一定不能少于4个小时，否则没有用处，不如不听。”我力争按你说的这个话，去努力学习。近来听的时间不能保证，发现进步慢了下来。　　
　　“超越了阶段也许是得不偿失的。”我有同感。因为学习过程中，我遇到了生词，就想纵向查字典，为此向新闻老师请教。结果试了两天，发现我水平没有达到，行不通。纵向查字典有基础要求，听懂，听写，朗读三项完成任务。所以就停下来了。
