【語言】3/31考試分享
2012年最熱門的GRE動詞片語是credit…with,相關的詞彙是applaud
【詞源探索】applaud v. 拍手喝采;讚賞
古羅馬人在觀看演出時,如果對某演員表示讚賞,就會鼓掌喝采。用拉丁語來說,“向……
鼓掌(或喝采)”就是applaudere,由前綴ad-‘to’加動詞plaudere‘clap’(拍手喝采)構
成。英語applaud(鼓掌,喝采)和plaudit(喝采)二詞即源出該拉丁語動詞。
【解析】ad + plaud ─total assimilation→ ap + plaud
【注釋】to (向) + clap (拍手喝采)
【推側詞義】向…拍手以示讚賞
【例】We applauded them for (因為) their courage
【片語用法】
及物動詞credit其義為「歸功於某人」時,其後所接之介系詞為表原因的with。請參考下面
例句:
We credit the Chinese with the invention of paper.(主動)
=The Chinese are credited with the invention of paper.(被動)
(紙的發明要歸功於中國人)
【重要訊息】2012年3月31日為止,各種英語測驗中,考題中的選項,只要有動詞片語
credit…with那就是出題的重點,信不信由你。
欲驗證的讀者/應考生,不妨自行找題試測。
