“米”即 meter 是度量单位:

汉语里有“显摆”、“摆谱”的说法,“说”出来也可“显”,dictionary 里有词根 dict “说”,digital 里的词根 dig 为“显示”,拉丁语 dicere 意思为“说出,提出,证明”,它们都属同源词根。印欧词根*deik-, *deig- 意思就是 to show, pronounce solemnly 。

dic, dict, dig 说,显示,对准

37. paradigm/?p?r?da?m/ para-旁,dig显示,m=-ma名词后缀;在旁边并排显示以作为

→)

n. 1. (formal or technical) a typical example or pattern of sth 典范;范例;样式; 2. (grammar) a set of all the different forms of a word(语法)词形变化表 The war was a paradigm of the evil and destructive side of human nature.

知道前缀 re- “后,回”和前缀 pro-“前”,reciprocal 的意思差不多就知道了:

38. reciprocal/r??s?pr?kl; r?ˋs?pr?kl/(re-后,ci=-cus形容词后缀,reci代表reco(s) 向

后转,pro- 前,c-=cus形容词后缀,proc代表procos向前转的,-al…的;向后也向前的→)

The department said many countries had reciprocal agreements for health care with Britain. 富兰克林即 Franklin 意为“自由民”,法国国名 France 来源于法兰克王国名,在日耳曼语中原意为“自由的”。知道了“法国”,离知道 enfranchise 的意思就不远了:

汉语中, 有些人喜欢“引吭(háng)高歌”;有些人则不喜张扬而“一声不吭(kēng)”。“吭”的两种读法反映了汉语中 k-h 的对应,英语中k-h, k-ch 均可对应。此处涉及k-g-h 音变系列。

french franch, frank 自由

franchise/?fr?nt?a?z; ˋfr?nt?a?z/ (franch自由,-ise使成为…状(态);本指摆脱奴

役,束缚的自由→授予特权→使具有出售或选举的自由→)

seek 是“寻找”,sake 本表示需要“找出”错误、争辩的“缘故,理由”,由 same-,homo- 以及 know 与 gno(incognito)的例子,不难理解:

seek, sak, heg 找出

印欧词根形式为*sāg- ?to seek out?。

40. hegemony/h??gem?n?/(和seek相比,s-h对应,k-g对应,heg找出→跟踪找到路→

领路,领导→hegemon带路人,指挥官→领袖,-mony状态,情况;充当领袖对其它国家进行控制→)

n. (plural hegemonies) (formal) control by one country, organization, etc. over other countries, etc. within a particular group 支配权;领导权;霸权 The three nations competed for regional hegemony.

字母C可以发K的音。来自美语的movie由moving pictures即“移动的画面”缩写而成,而英国人用的cinema来自cinematography“电影摄影(或放映)机;电影院;电影放映”,但 cinema最终来自希腊语的kinama ?motion? 即“运动; 移动”,即 cinema 的 cine 对应 kinetic 中的 kine:

41. kinetic/ k??net?k/(kine 运动,来自希腊语kinein ?to move?,→kinet(os) ?moved?,是

kinein的动词形容词,或-tic=-ic 形容词后缀,出现在希腊语来源的词,移动的、运动的→) a. (technical) of or produced by movement 运动的; 运动引起的

其实,exciting, cite, excite, excitement, incite, recite, solicit, solicitor 都含有同源成分。

kinetic energy

词源上eight 与oct(o) - 相对应,night 对应的是noct-, 而noct- 最终来自拉丁语nox “夜,黑夜”,即noct(i)- 来自nox的所有格。

作为组合词素的equi- ,意思就是equal。

23

42. equinox/?i?kw?n?ks/(equi 相等,nox夜;黑夜和白天时间长度相等的时间→)

n. one of the two times in the year (around 20 March and 22 September) when the sun is above the EQUATOR and day and night are of equal length 昼夜平分时,二分时刻;春分; 秋分 In the Chinese calendar, the Spring Equinox always occurs in the second month and the Autumn Equinox in the eighth month.

依维柯即 IVECO 是 Industrial vehicle Corporation 的缩写,最简单的词 way 的古英语拼写是 weg,也与 vehicle 相关。

路上是走人、走车、运东西、运人的,而词根的意思正与此相关:印欧词根形式为*wegh-“走,去,以车辆运输”。

way, vey, veh 运送,路

43. vehement/?vi??m?nt/(veh →拉丁语 vehe(re) to carry, convey, 运送,飞越,急速

前进 Chambers认为ment是受拉丁语mens ?mind? 所有格mentis的影响,本指rushing 冲的,快速移动的→)

指)愤怒的
