大作文：悲喜之间

There are two men, as is depicted in this meaningful cartoon, making different responses to the very same incident happening on the road where a bottle of water tips down on the ground, and part of the water in it spills out. One of them reacts to it with depressing disappointment on his face while another displays an upbeat smile and hurries to help his friend up.

The caricature has presented two different attitudes towards what happens in our life: Optimism and Pessimism. The author intends to tell us a principle that we are supposed to hold an optimistic stand when the unhappiness occurs. Generally, an optimist commonly leads a more satisfying life than a pessimist who always keeps the harmful matter in his mind, which will lower one’s happiness index.

For my part, we surely should take an optimistic attitude toward many things. Nonetheless, what we need to concern is that over-optimism also could destroy our phlegm incidental to the pessimism, which is necessary for us as well. Every citizen ought to put both of them together and see the two sides of a coin. And only with this faith held in mind can we be primed to embrace a progressive, prosperous and promising outlook.

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）...

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：建议信 Dear Pres.Wayne, I am one of our students, and I am writing this letter to express my concern about students’ physical conditions and offer some suggestions. Our students only have one PE every week, which is not enough for growing teenagers at all. To improve that, most important is that advocate more out-door exercise and add more credits to PE. Secondly, communities should organize more activities to let students take their part in instead of playing video games in the dormitory. Furthermore, awareness of physical health also shall be raised, because over recent years we youths are getting lazier due to available technology. I hope my concerns are heard, and my suggestions are taken into consideration. Thanks for reading, and I am looking for your reply.

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...

转载：英语一词多义现象是怎么产生的？

写得很好，通俗易懂，适合学习者反复阅读的一篇文章。本文出处： https://www.zhihu.com/question/29588352/answer/44906185 昨天澎湃新闻网官方微博发了这么一条新闻，看完后我拈花一笑，憋出了一个响屁。心里想着：首先这里champion的意思是：然后everyday在这里的意思是普通的，不是每一天的，区别于every day,虽然老美自己有时会混用：所以希拉里那句话应该这么理解：美国平头老百姓迫切需要一位捍卫他们利益的总统，老娘我就为这个来竞选大美利坚总统！！！用这个例子来作为今天话题的引子我想不唐突。接下来我从以下几个方面来详细阐述我对这个问题的想法：什么是一词多义英文为什么会有一词多义一词多义掌握不牢靠会有什么危害克服一词多义干扰的理论方法克服一词多义的实践号召一、什么是一词多义普通读者理解的一词多义是包括polysemy(多义词)和homonym（同形异源）的。我先介绍一下什么是homonym （同形异源）。 Homonym最早来自希腊语homonymon，homo意指（同一），onym指name, 就是说（两个意思）具有相同的名字。严格意义上说，同形异源现象指语言中词源上没有联系的词碰巧用相同的字母表征。例如，bass1表“巴斯鱼”时，它的语源是古英语barse; bass2表“声音，如低音或男低音”时，它的语源是意大利语basso。凭我个人经验判断，这种类型的一词多义现象比例非常低，并且很多字典里也会注明是来自不同语源，当然也不存在什么黑魔法帮助你更有效地理解他们。 Homonym最早来自希腊语homonymon，homo意指（同一），onym指name, 就是说（两个意思）具有相同的名字。严格意义上说，同形异源现象指语言中词源上没有联系的词碰巧用相同的字母表征。例如，bass1表“巴斯鱼”时，它的语源是古英语barse; bass2表“声音，如低音或男低音”时，它的语源是意大利语basso。凭我个人经验判断，这种类型的一词多义现象比例非常低，并且很多字典里也会注明是来自不同语源，当然也不存在什么黑魔法帮助你更有效地理解他们。接下来本文讨论的一词多义就特指polysemy（多义词）这种情况。二、为什么会有一词多义现象人类语言要发展先得在大脑中有事物的概念，然后用符号去实例化（看...

2015年英语一大小作文

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!

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...

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，...
