提高词汇量，AEIS英语熟词生义例句讲解（一）

背单词也是同样的道理，我们每天有大量的零散时间不能用于完成“不可拆分”的任务，实际上全部被浪费掉了，而用于处理单词的记忆这种可以拆分的任务则正好。下面就和小编一起看看今天的AEIS阅读中熟词生义讲解吧。

stomach

n.勇气

拓展：

stomach 除了我们常见的意思（胃）以外，作为动词还可以表示“忍受”to be able to accept an unpleasant idea or watch something unpleasant.

例句：

①He can't stomach the idea that Peter might be the next chairman.

他一想到彼得可能会出任下届主席就很不舒服。

②She found the violence in the film hard to stomach.

她觉得这部电影中的暴力场面令人难以忍受。

除此之外，再拓展一个搭配

have no stamach for

没有做某事的欲望(或勇气)

例句：

They had no stomach for a fight.

他们不想打架。

mean

adj.出色的，娴熟的

这个词，作为形容词时，我们平常见到最多的意思是“小气的，吝啬的，卑鄙的”，但是它还有一个感情色彩完全相反的意思“You can use mean in expressions such as 'He plays a mean trumpet' and 'She mixes a mean cocktail' to indicate that someone does something extremely well.”（出色的，娴熟的）

例句：

He is a mean tennis player.

他是一个出色的网球运动员。

拓展：

这里还要补充一个关于“mean”的熟词生义，“

If someone is being mean, they are being unkind to another person, for example by not allowing them to do something.”（不友好的）

例句：

The little girls had locked themselves in upstairs because Mark had been mean to them.

impossible

adj.难以应付的

英英释义：

①If you describe someone as impossible, you are annoyed that their bad behaviour or strong views make them difficult to deal with.

②An impossible situation or an impossible position is one that is very difficult to deal with.

例句：

①The woman is impossible, thought Frannie.

square

n.乏味的人；古板的人；老古董；书呆子

英英释义：

(informal, disapproving) a person who is considered to be boring, for example because they are old-fashioned or because they work too hard at school.

拓展：

“square”作为名词和形容词兼具“书呆子、古板的人”之义。

除此之外，这里想补充几个关于“square”的短语：

①a square meal

一顿丰盛的饭

（a good, satisfying meal）

如：He looks as though he hasn't had a square meal for weeks.

看他那样子,就好像几个星期没吃过一顿像样的饭了。

②back to sqaure one

(因无进展)回到起点,从头再来

（a return to the situation you were in at the beginning of a project, task, etc., because you have made no real progress）

如：If this suggestion isn't accepted, we'll be back to square one.

如果这个建议得不到采纳,我们就得从头再来了。

screw

v.与……发生性关系

英英释义：

If someone screws someone else or if two people screw, they have sex together.

例句：

①Why? So you can screw more guys?

为什么，去搞更多的男人吗？----《美国恐怖故事第二季》

②You screwed him, and now I am.

拓展：

screw作名词时的本义是“螺丝钉”，除此之外，还可以表示“性交伴侣”（a partner in sex）,拓展两个俚语：

②put the screws on sb 胁迫，逼迫

作为动词时，一个比较常见的意思是“拧上去”（to be attached by screwing）

①The bulb should just screw into the socket.

②The lid simply screws on.

在拓展两个常见俚语：

①screw up one's courage 鼓起勇气，相当于“pluck up one's courage”
