人教版英语教材的智力陷阱:小学900基础词汇词源解析 第四十课
我们先看看人教版小学三年级英语上册中的截图。
请注意:这里表“颜色”的单词写成colour。
我们再看看人教版七年级英语上册中的截图。
请注意,这里表“颜色”的单词写成color。
【英语】colour (Brit.) ['kʌlə] n. 颜色; 脸色; 色彩 (color 的另一写法)
拆解:col+our。
【英语】color[ˈkʌlə][美]=[英] colour
拆解:col+or。
强烈建议家长朋友大概了解一下词源,然后自己做出判断。
词源:From Middle English colour, borrowed from Anglo-Norman colur, from Old French colour, color, from Latin color.
Displaced English blee, Middle English blee (“color”), from Old English blēo. Also partially replaced Old English hīew (“color”) and its descendants, which is less often used in this sense. Doublet of couleur.
In the US, the spelling color is used to match the spelling of the word's Latin etymon and to make all derivatives consistent (colorimeter, coloration, colorize, colorless, etc). Elsewhere in the English-speaking world, the spelling colour has been retained.
我们可以大概了解:古法语把拉丁语的color变化为colour,也就是把后缀-or变化为-our。中古英语引进了这个单词。
现代英语中,美式英语通常拼写成color,也就是直接用拉丁语中的形式。而英式英语中,则保留了古法语的形式。
在现代法语中,把拉丁语的-or变化为-eur。
英语中至少有976个单词以-or结尾,其中有很大一部分是拉丁语的后缀。
强烈建议您大概熟悉:humor(幽默),rumor(谣言),tumor(肿瘤),neighbor(邻居),harbor(海港),error(错误),mirror(镜子)。
至少,不会再愚蠢地把color分解成c、o、l、o、r去“背”。
同时,不论写成color还是coleur您的孩子都能认识。这样,
在拉丁语中,至少有2个词根col-:一个表“颜色”,一个表“种植”。
认识col-,再记忆英语单词colony就非常简单了。
【英语】colony['kɒlənɪ]n. 殖民地; 侨居地; 侨民; 聚居地
拆解:col+on+y。
英语中作名词后缀-y对应拉丁语的-ia。
也就是说,把-y变化为-ia基本上都可以得到相应的拉丁语单词。
词源:From Latin colōnia (“colony”), from colōnus (“farmer; colonist”), from colō (“till, cultivate, worship”), from earlier *quelō, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷel- (“to move; to turn (around)”).
在词根col-后面加上-o(古典拉丁语是长元音ō,表“第一人称单数”尾缀)就构成一个拉丁语句子:colo。对应英语中的I cultivate,意思是“我种植”。
【英语】cultivate[ˈkʌltiveit]vt.1. 种植, 耕种, 开恳2. 培植, 培育; 养殖(鱼虾等)3. 培养, 养成, 磨炼(才能等) , 启发4. 结识(有地位的人)5. 细心照料
cultivate a new generation培育新一代
cultivate the habit of analysis养成分析的习惯
cultivate a love of art培养对艺术的热爱
He always tries to cultivate rich and famous people.他总是试图结交有钱有势的人。
拆解:cul+tiv+ate。
重点记忆:这里的cul-是拉丁语表“种植”的词根col-的读音变化——元音o变化为u。
-tiv源自拉丁语形容词后缀-tivus等。在法语中变化为-tif和-tive。英语一般用-tive,德语用-tiv。
英语至少有1794个单词用到-tiv-,至少有715个单词以-tive结尾。
-ate源自拉丁语的-atus,在这里作动词后缀。
如果您了解:-ture是法语名词后缀,源自拉丁语的-tura,就已经实际上掌握英语单词culture。
【英语】culture[ˈkʌltʃə]n.1. 文化, 精神文明2. 教[修, 素]养3. 训练, 培植[育], 繁殖4. 耕作; 造林
ancient culture古代文化
a man of culture有教养的人
the culture of grapes葡萄栽培
vt.1. 使有教养2. 耕种3. 培养, 栽培
拆解:cul+ture。
很明显,英语单词cultivate和culture都用到拉丁语表“种植”的词根col-的读音变化cul-。
您在阅读英语文章时,只要认识col-和-cul就可以了。后缀部分,只要稍微了解一下就可以了。
如果您了解agri-表“土地”,就很容易掌握英语单词agriculture。
【英语】agriculture [ˈæɡrikʌltʃə]n. 农业, 农艺, 农耕, 农学
拆解:agri+culture。
在汉语中,有“精神文明”和“物质文明”之分。
英语中,前者一般用culture,后者用civilization。
【英语】civilization[sɪvɪlaɪˈzeɪʃ(ə)n; (US) sɪvəlɪˈzeɪʃən]n.1. 文明2. 文明社会;文明世界3. 现代物质文明4. 教化;开化
拆解:civ+il+iz+a+tion。
请家长朋友把下面这句话刻在脑子里:英语至少有6337个单词用到法语名词后缀-tion,源自拉丁语-tio名词的宾格。
这就是说,这几千个单词绝大多数都是经由法语源自拉丁语。
【英语】civilize[ˈsɪvɪlaɪz]vt. -lized, -lizing1. 开化;开导;使文明
The African countries hoped to civilize all the primitive tribes on the land.非洲国家希望把非洲所有的原始部落都变成文明社会。
2. 在教养及礼貌上有所改进
Many a rough man has been civilized by his wife.
许多粗野的男人在其妻子的影响下变得文雅了。
3. (亦作: civilise)
拆解:civ+il+ize(动词后缀)。
【英语】civil['sɪvl]adj. 市民的, 有礼貌的, 公民的
拆解:civ+il。
词源:From Middle English cyvyl, civil, borrowed from Old French civil, from Latin cīvīlis (“relating to a citizen”), from cīvis (“citizen”). Cognate with Old English hīwen (“household”), hīrǣden (“family”). More at hind; hird. Doublet of civic.
请告诉孩子:-il是拉丁语中的后缀,英语单词pupil(小学生),April(四月),pencil(铅笔)中用到。
这就是说,只要重点记忆civ-就可以了。
建议先熟悉英语单词city(城市)。
【英语】city['sɪtɪ]n. 城市, 市
拆解:ci+ty(名词后缀,源自拉丁语-tas)。
词源:From Middle English city, citie, citee, cite, from Old French cité, from Latin cīvitās (“citizenry; community; a city with its hinterland”), from cīvis (“native; townsman; citizen”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱey- (“to lie down, settle; home, family; love; beloved”).
很明显,古法语把拉丁语的civ-变化为ci-,也就是v脱落了。
我相信:认识英语单词ci-,很容易掌握civ-。
在西班牙语中,把civ-变化为ciu-。
【西班牙语】ciudad(国际音标:西班牙/θjuˈdad/,南美/sjuˈdad/ ) f. 城市
拆解:ciu+dad(名词后缀,源自拉丁语-tas)。
【作业】帮助孩子用一个月的时间熟练掌握“It is generally accepted that the Chinese civilization is one of the oldest in the world.(普遍认为中国文化是世界上最古老的文化之一。)”。
