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...

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。 ...

考研高频单词讲解-6

很久没更新该系列了,今天写一篇。 46. private 私有的。在 这篇博文 提到过,这里展开说一说。 private来自于拉丁语 privus ,其中词根由 per 构成, per 和pro作为前缀的意思大致一样,都是 ‘forward’。因为 forward(向前), 所以 be in the front(在前面),后来逐渐变为 be separate(被分隔开),最后变为私有的。 通过private,可以推导出deprive(de ‘away from’ + prive,从私有的拿走)=> 剥夺。 Privateer: private的主动形式 => 私掠。 47. universe uni ‘one’ + verse ‘turn’。uni 这里 已经说过,表示 “一”。一个转动的东西 => 宇宙,意思来源于古人对于星象的观察。 由universe引申出来universal,意为全部的,具有普遍性的。 Multiverse:多重宇宙。Parallel universe:平行宇宙。 verse 是转的词根,volv是转动,有细微的不同,要注意区分。 48. approach 靠近,ad ‘表加强’ + prop ‘near’。 靠近某个机构(如银行)=> 接洽事务。 We’ve just approached the bank for/about a loan. 同样可以表处理,因为靠近某个问题 => 处理问题。 I’m not sure how to approach the problem. 通过这一层意思,可以推理出另一个意思:(处理问题的)方式,方法,态度。 Since our research so far has not produced any answers to this problem, we need to adopt a different approach to it. 49. article 由 artus 演变而来,意为连接。Article就是连接起来的东西。这个单词不难,这里补充一个较难记忆的单词:articulate。 ate作为动词化后缀,所以articulate字面意思就是连接在一起。这一层意思进一步演化可以表示为表达(或发音)非常地流畅(单词连接在一起)。 They were unable ...

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...

词根“volv”相关单词讲解

本期是具体解析词根的第一篇,先从volv讲起,因为这是我在文章中第一个提到的词根。希望大家能记住能够,然后更方便地背单词。 本期主要讲解volv相关单词,volv(Latin)作为词根是拟声词,模仿旋转的声音,是从原始印欧语’ wel ’演化而来,不需要掌握wel,有个印象就行。 volv的作为词根以为“roll,turn around”,和旋转分不开,所以他的衍生词也都与旋转有关。注意vert(divert,convert)这个词根表示’turn’(转一次),而不是’turn around’(旋转)。 本期大多单词为冷门低频词,虽说冷门,但是有很多是专业术语,相关专业同学应该比较了解。不过对于大多数人来说能有个印象就行,能记忆多少是多少,当作是词根记忆联想即可。 1. Voluble 健谈的,同义词:talkative, loquacious。由volv + able组成,字面义为能转的,可能是指说话人转动的舌头,或者是说话人滔滔不绝的状态。名词:Volubility。 2. Volume 意为“卷”,一开始是指书籍,第一卷,第二卷等。因为在书籍(有封面,页)出现之前,东西方人都用 卷轴 (scroll)写书或者作画(如图)。 在书籍出现之后,之前volume的意思也保留了下来,虽然此时“卷”的意思已经不再明显。后来,volume的意思得到了拓展,还能指卷成的物体的体积,大小。再衍生出“音量”的意思,即为声音的大小。 voluminous,volume + ous(体积肥大的,卷帙浩繁的),都是讲过的意思,应该不难理解。 3. Volutation 意思和roll一样,由volutate(Latin) + ion合成。旋转的名词,比较冷门的一个词,不需要记忆。 4. Volute 意为,漩涡状的(adj.),涡形(n.)。注意并非是 Vol + ate组成的动词,而是由voluta(Latin)直接演变而来。 Volution:涡旋(n.),旋转。同样都是冷门词,应用场景较少。 5. Valve 阀门, 不是value !该词也和转有关,v社就是这个单词,搭配steam,很有感觉。 Valvo(沃尔沃)比喻轮子的转动。 6. Vault 保险柜,也和转有关(如图)。 7. Advolution 向某物发展,ad ‘toward’ + volv。向某个方向滚。 8....
