赵丽老师考研词汇总结
1997 Passage 5
重点词汇:
monetary ❍✈⏹♓♦☜❒♓(金融的,货币的)←monet+ary,monet=money,-ary形容词后缀。
☐❒♓♦♋♓♦(精确的)即pre+cise,pre-在前,cise(=cide)词根“切”,于是“在前面切”
→知道切多少的→精确的。参suicide(自杀),2002年Text 4。He knew the precise psychological
moment when to say nothing.他知道那个心理上的精确瞬间,那时什么都不该说。
liken ●♋♓☜⏹(把……比作)←like+(e)n动词后缀。
windscreen ♦♓⏹♎♦❒♓⏹(挡风玻璃)←wind+screen。windscreen wipers — the eyelashes of rain 汽车风档上的刮水器——雨的睫毛。
poll ☐☜◆●(v.n.投票;民意测验)原指“人头”(head),“根据人头统计选票”。poll表“人头”
可这样记:p=b(因为对称字母可替换),o=a(因为元音字母可替换),故poll=ball,人的头
像“球”。Do you ever get the feeling that the only reason we have elections is to find out if the
polls were right?你有没有过这种感觉,即我们举行选举的唯一理由就是弄清民意测验是否准
确?
slack ♦●✌(v.n.a.松散;萧条)。In marriage, a man becomes slack and selfish, and undergoes a fatty degeneration of his moral being.婚后男人变得懒散自私,经历着道德生命的脂肪变性。thrilling ❒♓●♓☠(激动的;颤抖的)←thrill+ing,thrill(使激动;令人激动的事),-ing形容词后缀。Everybody who plays an instrument, even a little, understands music in a difficult way
from somebody who has never felt the thrill of making music himself?每个演奏乐器的人,哪怕
只会一点点,理解音乐的方式都与从未感受过自己奏出音乐的激动的人不同。unfortunately ✈⏹♐♦◆⏹☜♦●♓(不幸地)即un+fortun(e)+ate+ly,un-否定前缀,fortune (幸运)见2003年Text 3,-ate后缀,-ly后缀。反义词为fortunately(幸运地)←fortun(e)+ate+ly。
去ly即为二者的形容词形式:unfortunate(不幸的)←un+fortun(e)+ate;fortunate(幸运的)
←fortun(e)+ate。Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.时间是了不起的教
师,但不幸的是,它杀死所有的学生。Fortunately psychoanalysis is not the only way to resolve
inner conflict. Life still remains a very effective therapist.幸运的是,心理分析并非消除内心冲
突的唯一方法,生活依然是十分有效的治疗专家。Do not speak of your happiness to one less
fortunate than yourself.不要向不如你幸运的人讲述你的幸福。If you are too fortunate, you will
not know yourself. If you are too unfortunate, nobody will know you.若过于幸运,就不会认识自
己;若过于不幸,就没人会认识你。
upend ✈☐♏⏹♎(v.颠倒;打倒)←up+end。
1996 Passage 1
重点词汇:
tight-lipped(沉默寡言的)。
blueprint ♌●◆☐❒♓⏹♦(蓝图)←blue+print。
intelligently ♓⏹♦♏●♓♎✞☜⏹♦●♓(聪明地,明智地)即intel+lig+ent+ly,intel-“在……之间”
(=inter-,因后接l,故r变形为l),lig词根“选择”=lect,-ent形容词后缀,-ly副词后缀,故“具有从中挑选出所需之物的能力”→聪明地。The computer is not intelligent at all, but very stupid indeed, and that, in fact, is one of its great values — its blind stupidity.计算机一点都不聪明,反而实在非常愚蠢,实际上,这才是它的非凡价值之一——它的盲目的愚蠢。
tangible ♦✌⏹♎✞☜♌●(确实的;有形的)即tang+ible,tang拼音“糖”→方糖→方糖是方的→方糖是“有形的”。tangible assets 有形资产;tangible results 确实的成就。
