词源记忆法
来自PIE*yer,季节,年,时间,词源同hour,horoscope,horology,horoscope,再而可能来自PIE*ei,走,离开,做,词源同ire(拉丁语,走,离开),itinerary,由走动引申词义时间的循环,小时,季节,年,而hour和year在本质上都是指时间,词义只是人为赋予的结果。
判断正误
误:Itˈs year since they met each other
正:Itˈs years since they met each other
分析:要表示“很多年,很长时间”,year要用复数形式。
近似单词
yell n.喊叫声;v.喊叫;大声喊
单词用法
the year可用作连词,引导状语从句,如:
His father died the year he was born.
他父亲在他出生那年去世。
I always turn adversity and defeat into victories, but it's probably put ten years on me.
我总是能够扭转逆境,反败为胜,但这可能让我显得老成了10岁。
