小作文：邀请信

Dear Professor Ford,

I am one of your students who attend your business classes. I am writing this e-mail because I want to invite you to be the judge for this Sunday English speech contest.

I attended your business management classes last year, and I was impressed by your personalities and humorousness. So I thought you are the best person to take part in our English interactions and be the judge to make remarks about everyone’s performance.

The subject of our contest is whether the government should pool more money to conserve endangered animals. It will be hosted in classroom E325 on March 17(this Sunday).

I hope you can accept my invitation. Thanks for reading, and we are waiting for you!

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

大作文：毕业的选择

This enlightening cartoon features a scene that happens when each college student is about to graduate. Many youngsters stand hesitantly in the face of a four-direction crossroad with nerves on edge and getting cold feet. In front of them, there are four options: hunting for an opening, or further study as postgraduate, or create a start-up or pursue a degree abroad.

After graduation, college students should choose a future life based on their realities and dreams. For those who are eager to become economically independent and to put into practice what they have learned in college, taking a job or doing pioneering work may be satisfying and rewarding. Getting established as a bread-winner after graduation is their primary desire. By contrast, others who want to take advantage of the favorable conditions in college, however, ought to try to enroll in graduate programs inside or outside. For them, a Master’s degree or even a Doctoral degree represents a much more ambitious goal than a bachelor’s degree, because they cherish lifetime success and interest more in academic achievements than money.

Indeed, many ways are lying ahead of us when we are at a critical crossroads. And no matter which way we choose, some barriers are inevitable. So keep the head up in the face of problems and carry on decisively. Stick with the one and only one way, and the silver lining is patiently waiting for us.

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...

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。 ...

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.

词缀讲解后缀篇之“ous”

在上一期已经简单介绍了 ‘ive’ 这个后缀，后续再考虑补充该后缀的其他性质。本期主要讲解后缀 ‘ous’，希望能帮助到大家~~ 先举几个以ous结尾的单词： mysterious curious felicitous (幸福的) homogeneous （考过。同质，相似的，数学中意为齐次，homogenous equations“齐次方程”）很多同学认为以 ‘ous’ 结尾的单词是形容词，所以ous是形容词后缀。但是知道ous是形容词后缀几乎对于我们背单词没有任何帮助，因为还有大把其他后缀（‘ic’, ‘ical’, ‘ish’）同样也是表形容词，所以仅仅知道是形容词这一点信息量太小，不仅对于记忆（memorize）单词没有帮助，反而加大背诵的负担。故如何区别不同后缀是提高的关键。重点来了，ous有以下几个用法：表数量多、富足（richly possessing）表性质（of the nature of）表相似（like）第一个性质表数量多估计很多同学没有意识到，主要讲一下这个含义，因为最常见，而且可以用来解释很多单词的意思。 Mysterious 先来个简单的，神秘的。Mystery + ous，很多神秘的事 => 神秘的。 Hilarious Hilarity“高兴，欢乐” + ous。很多欢乐 => 快乐的，通常指非常好笑，比happy更甚。Hilary（希拉里）作为人民也是此意。 Luciferous 难度稍大，意为带来光的，该单词由三部分组成 luc “光” + fer “带来” + ous “多”。 luc = lux 是光 “light ”的词根。其中 x = eks（讲过），e和u合并为u（元音变化无所谓），k = c（发音相同），s辅音省略。举个例子帮助同学们记忆lux：玩过英雄联盟的肯定知道里面有个女英雄叫拉克丝，那么她的英文名就叫做 Lux ，就是光的意思啦。她的所有技能（光芒四射、光明束縛……）都与光有关，应该有画面了吧？如果女同学没玩过英雄联盟的也有一个记忆的方法，去逛一下超市肯定能找到力士（lux，读音相似）洗发水，没见过的同学去京东买一瓶 ^_^。洗发水的目的当然是让头发更有光泽啦，所以取名力士lux。 fer作为词根意为带来（carry）...

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...

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-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...
