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.
②The Government was now in an almost impossible position.
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.
你跟他睡过,如今我也睡了。---《逍遥法外 第三季》
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:
①have a screw loose 举止略有异常,行为古怪
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”
②screw you/him 去他妈的(swearing words 美剧常见短语)
