拇指英语说,分享英语学习心得,技巧和方法。让英语学习变得更有趣,更简单。
在英语学习中,词汇量的大小是衡量英语水平的重要标志。通常词汇量越大,运用英语的能力就越强,反之亦然。许多英语偏弱的学生将词汇的学习与记忆比作“拦路虎”,以至谈虎色变,毫无信心。因此,有意识地学习词汇策略将可以帮助学生更科学,高效,简单地积累大量词汇,从而达到事半功倍的效果。本词汇积累策略系列,将会从近义词(synonyms),反义词(antonyms),前缀(prefixes),后缀(suffixes),同音异义词(homophones)等角度来探讨词汇的学习和积累。本系列,适合小学中高年级及初中学生学习。
The Prefixes dis- and de-: 前缀 dis-和 de-
"dis-"是英语中的常见前缀,它是一个活性前缀,可以和动词,名词和形容词缀合。当与动词缀合时,"dis-"的意思相当于undo (取消)或者是not(不), 比如disagree (不同意);当与名词缀合时,"dis-"的意思相当于 lack of (无)或者 remove (去掉), 比如dishonour(不名誉);当与形容词缀合时,"dis-" 的意思相当于not (不), 比如disloyal (不忠诚的)。
"de-"也是一个非常活跃的前缀。它也可以加在名词,动词,形容词前表示否定的含义,通常表示降低,取走,剥离或者不的含义。
