2. Accordion:我扣得严,能扣上的东西一般都是折叠的,把几层折叠的东西扣在一起就成了褶了。我查Webster上的解释(和巅峰上的稍有不同):folding or creased or hinged to fold like an accordion <an accordion pleat>
他都说能hinged了,铰链也是可以扣上的啊,所以从“扣”可以推出折叠----褶的,折叠的。
9. Akin:我亲。我和他是亲戚,所以相似----同宗的,相似的。
看Webster就总能看到这个词,akin to。
例:Stale adj. [ME, aged (of ale), not fresh: akin to MD stel stale]
例句:Pity is often akin to love.
18. Aye:另一读音为[ei],像回答的声音,表示赞成。而且它另外的意思有:(苏格兰及方言)是的,对;(海军)是(答复命令的通常用语)。也是表示赞成。因为赞成他的主张才投他的票----赞成票,投赞成票者。
例句:The ayes have it. 大多数通过。
*Aye-aye:马达加斯加的一种狐猴。
from the play "Bonduca" by Beaumont and Fletcher (performed on stage circa 1614; printed 1647)

: Petillius: Why dost thou laugh? What mare's nest hast thou found?
: Junius: Ha, ha, ha! I cannot laugh alone: Decius! Demetrius! Curius! Oh, my sides! ha, ha, ha, ha!
: -Bonduca (Act V, Scene 2)
A Mare's nest is a "nothing"; a triviality where once was thought to be importance. An example is "He's discovered a mare's nest". In some parts of Scotland it is a "snake's nest"; in Cornwall a "wee's nest" and in Devon a "blind mare's nest". It seems that Mare is only one of several variants and happens to have become the most well known.作者: 鬼谷子 时间: 2004-5-4 20:02:28 标题: LIST7
5. firmament:firma-佛们,ment-名词。神佛们住的地方——苍穹,天空。*Bible Genesis Chapter 1, 7: And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
to: rosemarylrm,我参照的意思都是颠峰上选取的意思啊,有个别几个词的意思没全写是因为颠峰上已经有很好的记忆方法了。怎么会都是后面的意思呢?
to: chris song 看到你真高兴啊,我最开始就是看了你的帖子,受到启发,才开始发我的趣味单词的。你也是学医的啊~~嘻嘻,有“奇怪的想法”可能是因为我们要背的东西太多,所以对记忆的方法研究的比较多,而且对于文字比较敏感吧。呵呵~~
我还会继续写下去的,最近忙了一点,今天晚上肯定会来发的,不好意思让大家久等了~~作者: 鬼谷子 时间: 2004-5-16 18:53:41 标题: LIST4 久等了~~
虽然不是很明白你的情况,但是还是祝你一切顺利!
对了,有个词你以前的帖子里提到过的recidivism,我想到一个方法,re-重复,cid-香港电影总说的CID就是警察,vism-vision视野。屡次进入警察视野的人就是累犯~~呵呵作者: chris song 时间: 2004-5-18 00:26:15
