1. Introduction
Words are the basic foundation of a sentence， and as it is defined by Jensen （1990）： “a study of the internal structure of it is called morphology”（p.1）. The study of morphology can help learners have a better understanding of words in a second language and as well as English translation works. This article will study on the aspect of affixes in morphology， and find the pedagogical implications of affixes in morphology.
2. Affixes and its insights
Morphemes are the fundamental elements of words， they are typical but not necessarily meaningful this idea was given by Jensen. Prefixes and suffixes are the branches of affixes which is a part of morphemes that is different from the free ones or the root， which carries a meaning. This article will many focus on the affixes in morphology， which can be understand literally as “attached to”（Jensen， 1990）. As Carstairs （2002） defined that： “Only root morphemes can be free， so affixes are necessarily bound”.
Knowing how to enlarge and memorize vocabulary can be a basic skill for learning English and English translation. As Mochizuki and Aizawa（2000） described the relationship of affixes and vocabulary， that the knowledge of affix is very important for the researchers and practitioners， because it might lead the learners to process of vocabulary acquisition that plays an important role in reading and comprehension.
The most commonly used prefixes like “un-” and “dis-”， which have a meaning of the opposite to the following words， for example “unfamiliar” and “dislike”， which is just the opposite meaning of the word “familiar” and “like”. The basic knowledge of affixes can enlarge one’s vocabulary.
Another function of affixes is that it may indicate the word class. This part is quite useful for bilingual translations. The suffixes like “-er”， “-ance”， “-or” usually representing the nouns， such as “teacher” which is a noun of “teach”. This kinds of affixes functions in categorizing word class can help the learners understand the structure of a sentence better. This is the case especially for EFL learners and in this case it will be easier for them to get the meanings of a sentence.
3. Using affixes for pedagogical purpose
In the aspect of morphology important differences exist between English and Chinese. For English the main method of word formation is inflections and derivations， while more than 75% of Chinese words are compounding words in terms of word formation （Kuo
