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 moral principles），有士气。
Morality 纯Moral的名字形式。

4. production

源自于produce = pro（向前 forward）+ duce（领导
lead）。生产线是一步步向前领导的过程。
Pro要和pre（before）区分开来，前者是向前，后者是在前面。Duce做领导的意思很常见，也非常重要，由于同源单词太多可能需要单开一个章节写。比较有意思的是墨索里尼二战时期把自己称为duce（the leader），意大利语稍有不同，但词根都是一样的。

5. essential

essence（本质）的形容词，这个单词的词根同样不好记，es = be 存在，存在的东西就是本质。absence（ab = away）（ab + es，e被省略了，ence名词后缀）离开了存在不存在，用相反的单词记忆。

6. substance

Sub（在下面）+ stance （同stand，后缀变化），站在下面的物质，这里的物质泛指比较底层的组成成分，也就引申出了【重要性】这个意思。Stance（源自sta）很重要的词根，依然需要单开章节介绍。

7. detection

detect的名词，de (un, 表示相反) + tec（=teg，表示cover）这里teg = tec是因为格林定律，简单来说就是c，g同音所以可以替换。所以detect可以理解为uncover，就是察觉。同样的还有protect 向前cover 保护。
把t浊化为d，得到dec = tec ，ck 和 c 发音相同，所以组成新的单词deck的词根也是teg，deck的意思是甲板，和cover的意思就很近啦。

8. concept

con（加强，英文intensive，强化班（intensive learning））+ cept（抓，grasp）。这里的grasp还可以是【理解】的意思，英语中理解也可以是抓，例如comprehend（com + prehend（grasp），共同抓）就是理解。所以说了这么多，concept就是共同理解的东西，也就是概念。毕竟数学概念需要大家共同去理解才能称之为概念。
词根cept同样重要，可以看到前几名每个都有很重要的词根，掌握了其中几个就能大大提高背单词的效率。

9. decade

dec = ten，十。December虽然是十二月，但是其中dec确实十的意思，至于为什么十二月用十月表示呢？这又是一个漫长的故事，简单说就是人类的历法是在与时俱进的，古罗马时期只有十个月，随着历法越来越完善，人们在march前又加了两个月，于是每个月份都对应后移了两个，参考这个回答。关于数字的词根也需要花一篇文章去写，先说几个常见的吧。
Double： dou表示二，元音变化duo也是二。Duo就是二人合作，双排，玩过游戏的同学应该经常看到这个单词吧。Triple, 同理可以得到trio这个单词，三排。10.

10. intellect

Intel（between，和英特尔（Integrated Electronics）没关系） + lect（collect）= 从中收集。Intellect翻译为智力就是收集到一起的东西。同样intelligence（智能）的意思也差不多。Lect也是常见词根。
从意思上不好区别两个单词，推荐用不同的单词记忆：
Intellectual 知识分子（n.），有知识的（adj.）
Artificial intelligence 人工智能。

后记：终于写完了，没想到十个单词居然码了几个小时的字。为了照顾不适应阅读长文的同学（主要是偷懒hhh），暂时先讲这十个单词吧，一千五百多字长度也比较适中。别看单词很少，其中包含了很多非常非常重要的词根，后期我也会专门写词根的文章，进行更加系统的记忆，我们下次见~

考研高频单词讲解-3

单词讲解第三节，let’go~ 21. federal 联邦的，最出名的就是FBI（Federal Bureau of Investigation，联邦调查局），顾名思义，美国是联邦制国家。但是美国在颁布《美利坚合众国宪法》（Constitution of the United States）前仍然属于邦联制（confederal）国家。 Federal和confederal的区别在于confederal通常是由多个国家组成，federal则是一个国家，比如欧盟可以称之为邦联。 Bureau如果记不住可以和politburo（politic + bureau，政治局）一起记忆。该政治机构由布尔什维克（bolshevik，俄语中意为多数派majority）首创。多提一句孟什维克（menshevik）是少数派，minority，前缀men和min实际上是同源的，可以相互加深记忆。同理bol就是多large的词根（不用记忆） 22. average 平均，做形容词、名词、动词均可。补充几个数学名词 Mean：平均数（adj.还有下流的意思），出现频率较高 Mode：众数。低频 Median：中位数。低频 23. avoid void，空，来自于vuide(古法语），学过c、c++编程的同学肯定知道void的意思啦。 evuider（e + vuider，向外变空）是法语的清空和避免，然后字母经过变形（元音变化）到了英语就成了avoid。西班牙语：evitar，避免。这几个单词虽然长得不一样，但是仔细分析实际上都是同源词根，某些元音和辅音稍作变化就成了另一个语言的单词。有能力的同学多记忆点别的语言的的单词还能加深印象。 24. casino 赌场，最著名的莫过于Las vegas了，来自于词根 casa’house’。 cottage就是由casa变化而来（s变成t，加age名词后缀）。 25. dam 大坝，鹿特丹（Rotterdam）和阿姆斯特丹（Amsterdam）中的dam取自该意。这两所城市都是属于Netherlands（荷兰，尼德兰），nether就是低，low的词根（同源词beneath，be nether。注意与neither区分开），所以荷兰又被称之为低地国家，海拔很低，所以需要大量建造da...

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，...

经济学人精读-1

本文是【经济学人精读】系列的第一期，第一次写，如有错误请大佬见谅O(∩_∩)O 本文出自2020-04-18期的科学和技术（Science and technology）板块。文章较短，比较符合考研文章的字数。主标题：The American west’s drought is its second-worst for 12 centuries 副标题：People are partly to blame 文章标题已经大体上描绘了行文的走向和作者的态度。考研的时候就没有这种好事啦，只有正文（通常也不是完整的）。标题没什么生词，需要注意drought是干旱，而不是dryness的同义词。Century源自于拉丁语centuria，然后提取cent作为”百“的词根，可以生成percent，centuple，centigrade（摄氏度，0-100，故得此名）等单词。 The south-west of the United States, together with adjacent parts of Mexico across the Rio Grande, is one of the driest parts of the North American continent. But, over the past two decades, even that expected dryness has been taken to the limit. According to Park Williams, who works at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, the current lack of rainfall in the area constitutes a megadrought of a magnitude seen on only four other occasions in the past 1,200 years. Adjacent：邻接。同根词汇：adjacency matrix(邻接矩阵) Expected dryness：预料之中的干涸。Be taken to the limit：到达了极限。配合完成时态，可见dryness已经到达了极大值（Maxima, o...

考研高频单词讲解-2

书接上回。上次讲了十个单词，其中包含了许多非常重要的词根，越往下讲词根的重复率会越大，所以词根方面的内容会变少，我尽量在其他的地方多补充点内容。 11.label 动词和名词的意思都有，动词就是标签化，比如label him a loser。此处的label用作贬义，也可以和中文一样当成中性词使用。例句： labeled the switches so as not to confuse them 这里的label可以替换为categorize或者tag。 12.detail De ‘off’ + tail ‘cut’ 意为切下来的东西 => 细节。 Tailor（裁缝）也是tail的衍生词，字面意思（literally）为’cutter’。 tailor还有作为动词的意思，也很常见，意为量身定做（裁缝干的事）。比如 This patch is tailored for Windows users. 这个补丁是为Windows用户定制的。 tailor换成cuntomize亦可。 13.event e’out，ex的变体（variant）’+ vent ’ come’ 出来的东西，通常指大事件。比如竞技体育的大型比赛就是一次event（Ti，s10，major…）这里的vent也是一个重要词根，作为来的意思非常多见，convene，convention，adventure，circumvent’绕过’（circum是圆的词根，circumcise（cise = cide，切）可以帮助大家很好的记忆这个词根，意思请大家自行查阅， warning : NSFW⚠）这里再分享一句个人很喜欢的亚历山大的名言我来，我见，我征服。 I came, I saw, I conquered. Veni, vidi, vici.(拉丁语) 这里的veni就是来，其他意思也是一一对应的。 Vidi就是看，衍生词visual，s，t，d互相变是正常操作，大家看过了就认识了。t和d是清浊辅音，s变t是因为发音相似，比如visual 和 virtual 的s和t的读音相似。 Vici是胜利，中国有个电竞俱乐部Vici gaming（VG）就取自该意。还有IG战队（Invictus Gaming）也是如此，In表否定，后面也是拉丁语（vic做词根，tus形容词后缀），可以理解为...

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...
