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 corner. Therefore, it is no doubt that we absorb various cultures into our ethnic veins. And it is only based on this faith that we can embrace a world full of progress, prospect, and prosperity.

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-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...

词缀讲解后缀篇之 “ive”

  本期是补充一下 这篇文章 ,做一个关于后缀 “ive” 的更完整的介绍。 首先介绍一下 ive 做后缀的意思,主要有两个: having the nature(性质) of a thing tending to the action indicated 与  ous  不同的是,ive 如果做为suffix,那么它的词干(stem,就是 ive 前面的单词,与 root 为近义词,起到表意作用),只能是 动词!动词!动词! (而 ous 只能是名词)。这种用法比较正式的说法为: implied by a v or by a v 下面分析以上两个意思,第一个比较简单,某物拥有某个性质(nature),例如 addictive,有使人让人成瘾(addict)的性质  \Rightarrow ⇒  成瘾性。同理 creative  \Rightarrow ⇒  创造性。 第二个 indicated 是个被动用法, \text{the action indicated} the action indicated  这个短语意思是 被表明的的动作 ,tending to就是趋向于这个动作。其中被 indicated 的东西就是词干,tending to 这个部分由 ive 表达。举个例子:Simon is active(act + ive),这里 act 就是 indicated 的东西,ive表示 Simon 有 act 的倾向  \Rightarrow ⇒  Simon 是有活动(act)倾向(ive)的  \Rightarrow ⇒  Simon很活跃。 正因为 ive 能表性质,所以大多用于正式的语境,所以在大量专业术语中能看到它,比如数学,计算机,英语… 下面介绍一些相关单词,可能有部分专业性词汇,不感兴趣的跳过即可。 Conclusive:Conclude 由 Con + close 组成,共同关闭  \Rightarrow ⇒  总结。总结 + ive  \Rightarrow ⇒  总结性的。 Transitive,过渡性的。在语法中翻译为及物动词(transitive verb)...
