英文单词巅峰(在勤查英英字典中丰富提升你的英语)

在勤查英英字典中丰富提升你的英语:a wet blanket什么意思?

勤查字典是任何一个“学并学好“英语的人必备的一项基本功。它是比我们获取想要的英语之外更重要的“学习力”。

“学并学好”英语的实质是英英学习。勤查英英字典既展示了我们英语学习的“学习力”,同时也让我们具备了用英语学英语的基本条件。

还有更重要的一点:我们从查阅不同的英英字典解释同一个意思时用词的不同,丰富和提升了我们自己的英语表达能力。

比如,查英英字典:What does a wet blanket mean?

英文单词巅峰(在勤查英英字典中丰富提升你的英语)(1)

1) 有的英英字典这么用词:

A wet blanket is a person who spoils other people's fun by failing to join in with or by disapproving of their activities.

Okay.I got you.它的用词是spoil other people's fun,这是一句很好的英语口语表达,需要不“参杂”任何中文而直接记住(的能力)。

这时,我们“会说”第一句英语口语:

Okay.I got you.If you spoil other people's fun,then you're a wet blanket,or we'll say You're really a wet blanket

Spoil others' fun是一句语义宽泛的表达,掌握了这句英语的要领:网络喷子也可以叫做a wet blanket=a complainer

因为他们spoil our fun

2) 有的英英字典又这么用词:

A wet blanket is someone who ruins other people's fun.

它不用spoil了,它用的是ruin,其实,spoil something就是ruin something.

我们又得到一句英语口语:

Okay.I got you.

1. Okay.I got you.If you ruin other people's fun,then you're a wet blanket,or we'll say You're really a wet blanket

2.We can say You're a wet blanket,because you spoil our fun,we can also say You ruin our fun.

So,to spoil something means to ruin something.

如果我们只用中文理解a wet blanket,我们就“破坏”了这种纯英语思维的语境了。

3) 有的英英字典又这么用词:

If you say that someone is a wet blanket, you mean they always stop other people from enjoying themselves.

Okay.人家“不说”fun了,人家“说”enjoy themselves,其实照样还是一个意思,可是用词丰富变化了,值得我们学习记忆:

口语:Okay.I got you.If you stop=spoil=ruin other people's fun,you stop them from enjoying themselves,so you're a wet blanket.

这就是“查并多查”几本英英字典对提升我们的英语的好处。只查一本字典,或者只用中文学英语哪里会有这样的学习乐趣:fun or enjoy ourselves?

4) Some examples

1. Stop saying that.Don't be a wet blanket.

2. I'm sorry if I've been a wet blanket today.

我们最终是要走上用英语记英语这条路的。当然,直接用英语记英语难度很大,但是这不意味着我们就可以用“轻松”记中文取而代之。越是不练,越是不会。
