小作文:推荐信

Dear friends,

A reading session is scheduled to be held on this Sunday, so I am writing this letter to recommend my favourite book.

The book is Antifragile, which I have read several times recently, and its central idea is that, in the face of adversities, human beings need to be antifragile, instead of being robust, which is “fragile” as well. To illustrate, the individual may be fragile and delicate and wants to be solid-rock, but he also can be increasingly robust as the environment deteriorates. Furthermore, the author Taleb provides some useful suggestions to react to incidents swiftly.

I am sure the book will be practical when dealing with matters in real life. I hope each of you will read well and enjoy it. See you on Sunday!

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

大作文:谈手机

It has been an ordinary scene happening in our daily life that, as seen in the cartoon, four youngsters quietly sit around the table. Instead of mutual talking, surprisingly, ALL OF THEM are staring at their smartphones with happiness, curiosity, seriosity on the faces, which is quite a disappointing dinner for others but an “interesting” one for people on the Internet.

The cartoonist intends to wake our awareness of the pervasion of smartphones to our life and work. As technology develops so swiftly that everyone has been unsolicitedly enchanted by the gadget. Alas, though, most of the netizens are not conscious of the fact that they continually ignore friends, and, in turn, their friends ignore them likewise. Indeed, phones bring us convenience and quickness when two persons are distant. But the side effect is that it also distances two friends who are just close to each other.

In my view, technology is innocent because it is devised and used by humans who are way more intelligent. Moreover, our friends are way more precious than the little black screens because they are the ones who count for us. Setting aside phones is a hard choice for someone, but losing friendships is harder! So, put down phones in your hands and embrace friends in your sight!

英语中数字的词根

  本期谈谈使用频率较高的数字,其中包含了一些有用的词根,记住之后可以举一反三地学习。 1. One One 这个单词不只是出现在英语中,通过元音变化可以变成其他语言中的“一”,比如: 德语:ein(‘o’ 变 ‘ei’,去‘e’。) 冰岛语:einn 瑞典语:en(‘o’ 变 ‘e’。) 荷兰语:een 法语:un,une(u = o) 西班牙、意大利语:uno,una(u = o, a = e),UNO 牌就是在最后一张牌需要喊出 “uno” 因此而得名。 Uni- 和 mono- 在英语中作为前缀,也表示“一”。 Unicycle,独轮车 Unicorn,独角兽 Unilateral,单边的 Unicellular,单细胞的 Monopoly(mono “一”,poly “卖”),一个人卖  \Rightarrow ⇒  垄断。 Monotone(tone,音调),一个音调  \Rightarrow ⇒  单调的(可表示函数单调性monotonicity)。 2. Two Twin,twain,twice 都是与 “two” 直接相关的单词。 还有两个前缀可以表示“二”,bi- 和 di- Bi- Binary,二进制 Bliateral,双边的 Bicycle,二轮车 Bipedal,双足行走的,ped表示“足”,al 表形容词(p = f,t = d,发音类似故相等,参考格林定律) Bilingual,两种语言的,lingua 表舌头,language 也由 lingua 变化而来 Di- Dioxide,二氧化物 Diphthong,双元音 Duo,双人的 Double,双倍的 Deuce(deu = di,ce 表名词),平局,特指在 tennis 和 table tennis 等比赛中,出现需要连续赢两次的平手,比如网球的 40:40,乒乓球的10:10等。 注:这里 w 算作半元音,所以也可以元音变化。参考 这篇文章 第一,我们称字母w和y为半元音字母,是因为这两个字母既可以用在音节的开头做辅音字母使用,又可以用在音节的末尾当元音使用。如,wet,water中的w在音节的开头元音字母前,它就是辅音字母,而few,now中的w在音节的末尾与其它元音字母构成字母组合发一个元音,few的发音是/ fju: ...

考研高频单词讲解-1

本期写一篇考研高频单词的讲解,主要是从词根词缀出发写一点个人背单词的技巧和心得,或者是一些小的辨析之类的。词频的来源是 这里 。 授人鱼不如授人以渔,先推荐两个个我常用的词根查询网站(全英+科学上网): Etymonline Wiktionary 前期直接看可能难度较大,可以参考 http://www.dicts.cn/ 这个网站,逐渐熟悉后再慢慢适应英文版。 话不多说,直接开始吧~~ 1. industrial industry的形容词,注意industry有勤奋的意思,而industrial没有【勤奋的】的意思,只有【工业的】的意思。Industry由 indu + stry组成,indu 由indo结尾变化而来(元音变化很常见,可以理解为a = e = i = o =u),意为 in或者within , stry = stru = structure。综合起来就是在里面建造=》工业。 2. involve in(≈indo)+volve(旋转,拟声词,模仿旋转的声音) = 卷入,涉及。Volvo沃尔沃也是源自同一个词根,元音变化又用上啦,e 变成了 o。volve这个词根的同源词也很多,需要单开一节讲解。 3. moral 这个单词从词源比较难记,因为无法得出有效的记忆规律。所以多个同源单词一起记忆比较方便。 Demoralize 这个单词翻译考过,de = off 去掉,morale(士气),懂点词根很容易就能知道他的意思啦。比如LOL中被Ace(团灭)了就非常地demoralizing哈哈。如果每人拿到一个人头就叫做team ace,虽然通常都是adc(attack damage carry), ap(ability power carry)拿人头。 说到ace这个单词也很有趣,ace是扑克(poker)中最大的。有一种说法是,1789年法国大革命之后,平民获得了更多权力,于是最底层ace就变成最大的啦。 如果各位有兴趣还可以学习扑克中的历史+英语, Jack ,  Queen ,  King 对应了不同的人物,其中黑桃q(queen of spades,spade是铲子)原型是雅典娜(Athena),还有很多有意思的人物,这里就不展开啦,有兴趣可以自己查阅以上超链接。 Morale 加e变名词,有道德的状态(concerning mor...

2010年英语一大作文

  The Cultural Hotpot There is a hotpot standing in the middle of the picture, containing various kinds of food with different names such as swan lake, enlightenment, Confucianism, etc., as if all of them were mixing perfectly and harmoniously. The caption under the cartoon says: the cultural hot pot is both delicious and nutritious. The cartoon intends to illuminate that our culture is not an isolated island where folks only absorb things that they are familiar with. What we need to assimilate, however, is cultural features from different nations and various races. And by this means, the hotpot would be so delicious and nutritious that everyone in this society can relish what they have achieved eventually and can unconsciously affect each other afterward. In my viewpoint, diverse cultures enormously broaden ones’ horizons. In other words, whatever we are in touch with, it may provide a different way in which we see the world where there may be another treasure in an unnoticed corn...

考研高频单词讲解-5

本文为该系列第五期,我之前也对常用的变化规律简单介绍了一下,所以大家应该对单词形变有了基本的概念。如果没有我再贴几个链接,方便大家加深理解。 第一个回答: https://www.zhihu.com/question/27044578/answer/35030903 引用几段话: 元音(区别于元音字母)间的变化可以忽略,不要造成记忆上的负担。比如fact, fect, fic都是fac(做)这个词根的同源异形根。也就是说元音在词根含义中意义不大。 辅音向[d][t]过渡,而[t],[d]则向[s]过渡。 词根首字母会同化词缀尾字母。我们下面要说的 success 里就是sub尾字母b受到了词根cess首字母的影响而变成suc。这样的例子在英文单词中数不胜数, 第三点之前的单词出现过,但是我一笔带过了,不知道是否影响阅读。 再补里面一张比较有价值的一张图片: https://i.imgur.com/nbFnLQU.jpg 第二个回答: https://www.zhihu.com/question/21817832/answer/767747947 墙裂建议看完以上两个回答,基础不好的可以加深印象,已经明白了的可以再多补充点知识。 下面进入正文部分,本次只有五个单词,但是信息量相当大,把引用都看了还是比较累的,希望可以有耐心。看不太懂同学们没关系,多次学习,能看多少是多少^_^ 41.immigrant im’en’+ migrate’move’,看一下immigrate的英英释义: To move into a foreign country to stay permanently. 意思比较简单,就是migrate的词根好像比较难记,好在是单词本身应该已经能够记忆了,所以用单词记忆词根在这里比较合适。 要注意区分的是emigrant的意思也是移民,只不过在这里是指向外移民(e表ex,向外)。举个栗子, an emigrant ship是一艘去往其他国家的移民船,而 an immigrant ship就是向本国来驶的船。这里用汉语无法区分,或者说很不方便,所以要格外地注意其中细微的区别。动词emigrate和immigrate同理。贴一个韦氏字典的 解释 ,还提到了refugee这个单词,有兴趣的同学可以自行查看。 再补充一个小知识,migrate本身就有迁移的意思,...

词根“duct”相关单词讲解

本期讲解词根 duct ,Duct在 这篇博文 中提到过,意为领导、引导(‘to lead’),duct的原始词根为deuk(结尾辅音变化,不影响单词意思),本文的以下单词皆与该意思有关,不需要全部记忆,根据个人精力进行学习。 1. Duke 公爵。duke由deuk演化而来,两个词长得差不多,读音也差不多。公爵是领导一个地区的人,一个领导者。 Duchess,公爵夫人。 Duchy,duke的东西 => 公国。 Archduke,arch(大)+ duke,奥地利大公,位置比公爵高,低于国王。 Grand duke,也是大公,欧洲大陆国家常见,如:卢森堡大公,托斯卡纳大公。 Ducat,达克特,一种货币。字面意为:公爵的货币。 Ducal,duc + al,公爵的 再补充一下欧洲贵族的英语,爵位按排序递减: 侯爵,Marquis。Marq = mark,标记。标记在这里象征着领地的边界被mark了,侯爵负责管理标记内部的领地。 伯爵,count(欧洲大陆国家使用),earl(英国)。 子爵,viscount。vis (‘vice’) + count,vis可能大家不熟悉,看到Vice President,应该就知道了。vice意为代替(‘instead of, deputy’),子爵是在伯爵之下的爵位,所以加上了vis。 男爵,baron,玩LOL的同学肯定知道。 2. Duct 导管,管道(如图所示),领导、引领水、石油和气到目标地点的东西。 Ductile,延展性。容易被引领的东西(easy to be led)=> 延展性。 Duction,引领。 3. Abduce 使肢体外展。away + lead,领出去。该单词已基本不用( obsolete)。 Abduct,非常容易弄混,而且算常见,意为拐走(把别人的肢体领走)。 Abductor,诱拐者。 Abduction,诱拐的名词。 该单词不包括卖这个意思,根据词根,不难理解其原因。 Adduct,还有一个意思,与abduce类似,是肢体外延(如图)。 Circumduct,肢体环回(如图)。 4. Adduce 意为引证。把其他地方的语言领过来。英英释义为: To give reasons why you think something is true. 5. Conduce 导致,有助于。 ...
