32、研究单词构造来帮助你学习英语单词,这对扩大英语词汇量具有重大意义。一般来说,比较复杂的英语单词可由三部分组成:前缀(prefix)、词干(stem)或词根(root)、后缀(suffix)。也就是说,固定的基础词部分叫词干或词根,它是有意义的,是能存在的词的最小单位。在词干或词根前的称前缀,在词干或词根后的称后缀。例如,microcomputer一词里,micro-是词的前缀,表示“微小的”;comput是词的词干或叫词根,表示“计算”;-er是后缀,表示“者”。如果我们知道词干或词根的含义,再知道典型的前缀、后缀的意义,就不必查阅字典,也可以准确地判断该词的意义了。学习少量的构词成分能有多大
33、的作用呢?对此,人们曾经做过估计,掌握了本书中的基本构词法,就可能悟出多达14000个左右单词的意义。很显然,学会构词法是增大英语词汇量的捷径。 What is the Computer and the Internet?What is the Computer and the Internet?英语构成新词主要有以下三种形式。转化(Conversion):即由一个词类转化为另一个词类,而词的原型不变。1)动词转化为名词例如:towater(浇水)somewater(水)toexcuse(原谅)anexcuse(借口)totry(尝试)tohaveatry(试一下) todream(做梦)ad
34、ream(梦想)2)名词转化成动词例如:ahouse(房屋)tohouse(居住)amail(邮件)tomail(邮寄)abridge(桥)tobridge(度过)anurse(护士)tonurse(护理)3)形容词转化为动词例如:slow(慢慢的)toslow(减速) empty(空空的)toempty(倒空)warm(暖暖的)towarm(使暖和)dirty(脏脏的)todirty(弄脏)合成(Compounding):即由两个(或两个以上)词合成另一个新词。合成的组成形式有时是用连字符“-”连在一起的,有时是直接连在一起的。 What is the Computer and the In
35、ternet?What is the Computer and the Internet?1)合成形容词例如:good-looking(好看的)high-level(高级的;高水平的)new-born(新生的)heartfelt(由衷的)first-rate(一流的)happy-go-lucky(无忧无虑的)2)合成名词例如:input(输入量)shorthand (速记)output(输出)handwriting (书法)3)合成动词例如:overthrow(推翻)blacklist(列入黑名单)eavesdrop(偷听)sleep-walk (梦游)派生(Derivation):即由一个词
36、根或词干加词缀(前缀或后缀)构成新词。1)加前缀例如:happy(高兴的)unhappy(不高兴的)write(写)rewrite(重写)conductor(导体)semi-conductor(半导体)What is the Computer and the Internet?What is the Computer and the Internet?2)加后缀例如:use(使用)useful(有用的)real(真的)really(真实地)work(工作)worker(工人)move(搬动)movement(运动)friend(朋友)friendship(友谊)collect(收集)colle
37、ctive(集体的)3)加前缀和后缀例如:pay(付款)repayment(偿还;报答)honest(诚实的)dishonestly(不诚实地)value(价值)invaluable(无价值的)port(港;口岸)transportation(运输工具)new(新的)renewable(可更换新的)truth(真实)untruthful(爱说谎的;不真实的) What is the Computer and the Internet?What is the Computer and the Internet?DeAnOrientAlinternAtionAlStudiesCollegeZhAn
