火把节什么时候-月亮诗句

1. 限制：limit, restrict, confine, define, narrow, tighten, constrict, cap,
narrow(v.): 这个词大家以前使用的时候一般都是作为形容词来用，这里强调下它的动词的用法。
E.g. We are working on narrowing the gap between our points of view. 缩小差距
E.g. We’re working to narrow down the list of possible suspects.
E.g. The smoking causes the same diseases in women as in men and the gap between their death
rates is narrowing.
define (v.): 这个词大家以前熟悉的意思是给……下定义, 这个意思和限制并不矛盾，什么叫下定义？就是描述
出一 个事物的轮廓，所以定义就是在一个给定的范围内给一个事物限定的特定的意思。（define的英文解释： If
you define something, you show, describe, or state clearly what it is and what its limits are, or
what it is like）
E.g. The Supreme Court decision could define how far Congress can go in trying to determine the
outcome of court cases.
cap (n.v.): 这个词最常用的意思是帽子的意思，作为限制的意思再形象不过了。E.g. The government has
placed a cap on local council spending.
snow-capped mountains
补充信息：魔兽世界（WOW）的资料片燃烧 的远征（TBC）刚刚推出的时候，在官网上就有这么句话：An increase
in the level cap to 70 大家不妨体会下这句话中的cap的意思（当然了，有游戏功底的理解起来相 当的easy,
再次强调本人的原则： 游戏不是坏事，能学以致用就好）

在NB A里面就有工资帽这种说法（工资帽的概念1984年被引入，NBA联盟和球员工会之间首先进行谈判，
只有双方同意，工资帽才被正式公布。每年NBA的工资帽都在增加，1997-98赛季是2690万美元， 上赛季
是4384万美元，而如今则是4387万美元。那么什么是工资帽呢？工资帽的具体数额和NB A前一年的总收入
密切相关。具体来说，这个工资帽是根据NBA前一年的总收入，然后取这个总收入的 48％作为NBA球队花钱
的资本，再拿这个48％后的收入再除以29（NBA上赛季球队总数），得 出的平均数就是当年的工资帽，各球
队花在球员身上的工资总额不得超过这个数字。）

2. 集中，聚焦于：focus on, concentrate on, aim, spotlight, be engrossed in, layplaceput
emphasis on, deal only with, highlight,
spotlight(v.n.): 本意是聚光灯的意思
E.g. A new report has turned the spotlight on the problem of poverty in the inner cities.
E.g. The report has turned the spotlight on the startling rise in street crime.
E.g. Unemployment is once again in the spotlight.
E.g. The article spotlights the problems of the homeless.
engross (v.): 全神贯注于某事
E.g. The scene was stunning, and for a time engrossed all our attention.
E.g. He was so engrossed in his book that he didn’t hear her come in.
highlight(v.n.): 本意为用高亮度标记
E.g. The incident has served to highlight the problems of urban deprivation.|
highlight 作名词用表示一系列事情的亮点，高潮，最精彩所在，
E.g. That weekend in Venice was definitely the highlight of our trip.
E.g. The highlight of the trip was visiting the Great Wall of China.

3. 现代的，最新的：contemporary, modern, current, present, recent, up-to-date, latest
这里需要注意latest不要翻成最晚的，是最新的，最近的意思
up-to- date(a.): 最新的
E.g. They have access to up-to- date information through a computer database.

latest (a.):最新的
E.g. the latest fashions from the Paris catwalks.
contemporary: 现代的，这个词准确的来说和最近的（latest）意思还是有区别的 ，不果的阅读考试大部分词
考得都是词和词之间的相关性，其实也不太有可能两个词的意思是完全一样的 ，一般来说只要他们意思相关，
并且不发生矛盾的话，我们就可以认为他们之间是同义词。这也就是为什 么contemporary会和latest在一组
的原因了。

4. 增长：grow, increase, expand, rise, improve, soar, climb, extend, rocket,

improve: 这个词在这里需要强 调下，这个词在某些特定的场合下甚至可以表示下降的意思，例如：犯罪率在
improve，像这种不 好的事情得到了改善
soar (v.): 飙升
E.g. The price of petrol has soared in recent weeks.
rocket(v.n.):作名词是火箭的意思, 动词: 直线上升
E.g. Stock prices rocketed to their highest level yeste rday.
这组词在阅读和写作当中可能会发生词性的
变化，主要是形容词，动词和名词这三种 间的转换。
grow-growing-growth; increase- increasing-increase; expand-expanding- expansion;
rise-rising-rise; improve-improved- improvement; extend- extended- extension;
climb-climbing-climb

5. 悲观的，忧郁的： pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, depressing, hopeless, sad, blue, unhappy,

pessimistic(a.):悲观的
E.g. Doctors are pessimistic about his chances of making a full recovery.
gloomy (a.): 衰退的, 忧郁的,
E.g. Frank dismissed these gloomy thoughts from her mind.
blue (a.): 这个词可以解释为蓝调即悲伤忧郁的音乐,不过只能用复数形式blues
E.g. She usually calls her mother when she’s feeling blue.
blue这个词还有高贵的意思，例如这个短语：blue-blooded 表示出生于皇室家族或者社会地位很高的家族
blue book这个词大家可千万不要多想，它一般指英国官方发布的蓝皮书（封面通常是蓝色的）（yellow pages
黄页即包含电话号码和公司地址的黄色封面的书）
blue movie色情电影，不过这种用法差不多已经过时了，现在一般都说porn movie
blue chip 蓝筹股即表现优异的，或者值得投资的股票
blue collar蓝领

6. 加速，前进：accelerate, speed up, advance, hasten, quicken, develop, hurry,
accelerate(v.)：物理学中的加速度就是这个单词
E.g. The decline of her health seemed to suddenly accelerate.
develop (v.): 发展，也就是说现在的速度比原先的快才能叫发展，所以develop和和加速这个意思是属于相
关词
在这里需要强调一下，英文当中越简单的东西，它的用法是越丰富的，这里简单列几个develop常 用的几个词
条
develop liver disease
得病
develop the pictures 冲照片
advance(v.): 进步，前进
, down in the

resemble (v.): E.g. Soldiers are trained under conditions that closely resemble real combat.
identical (a.): E.g. This house is almost identical to the one where I lived as a child.
still: 仍然 这个词放在这里大家不 要觉得很奇怪，大家想想看，如果两句话用still相连接，是不是表示两句话
当中肯定有相同的事情 发生呢？例：十多年过去了，我仍然……后半句话我没有写完，但相信大家都能看出我在
十年后肯定有和 十年前相同的地方。所以still是个信号词，是same的相关词
analogous (a.): E.g. Marine construction technology like this is very complex, somewhat
analogous to trying to build a bridge under water
.
twin (n.v.a.): 记住阿娇和阿萨就记住这个单词了，本意是双胞胎的意思

E.g. Chichester in England is twinned with Chartres in France.

8. 颜色colour(red, blue, brown, etc.),hue, pigment, shade, tint, tone, dye,
首先需要和大家说明的是colour的同义词 并不是很多，从上的变化来看，对颜色的变化集中在将colour变成
几种具体的颜色，这需要大家在 考试的时候尤其注意。
hue (n.): 色彩观点，信念
E.g. Her paintings capture the subtle hues of the countryside in autumn.
E.g. political opinions of every hue (= of many kinds)

achievement.
significant还可以表示变化很大或者大量的意思：
E.g. A significant number of drivers still refuse to wear seat belts.
critical (a.): 至关重要的，危及的

necessary：这个词可以说是这组词里最简单，但也是最容易弄错的一个，很多 学生都会说必要的和重要的是

same的解释。

E.g. chronic heart disease
E.g. There is a chronic shortage of teachers.
E.g. He was a chronic alcoholic and unable to hold down a job. chronic gambler
chron-这个前缀和时间有关，chronicle 编年史（把历史事件按照时 间来排列编成的一本书）（来自希腊神话中
宙斯(Zeus)他老爸的名字：Cronos。该神害怕自 己的子女反抗自己，曾吞食了自己的后代，就象时间的无情，

false friend: 就是来自一对不同两个语言的词（或者是两个字母表中 的字母）看起来或者是听起来相仿，但是
意义完全不同．例如busboy看上去很像是汽车售票员，确 是表示餐厅勤杂工的意思（这样的例子还有很多）
manufactured (a.): 人造的（其实manu-这个前缀本来是表示用手工制造的意思，但是随着时间的推移，这

considerable (a.): 大量的，不要 想当然得把这个词的意思想象成和考虑有关。这个词和足够的有些区别，但
再次强调它和足够的意思并不 矛盾，他们之间的关系很像necessary和important，在考试这种主要是考察考
生语言 和理解能力的测试中，一般来说我们不需要区分他们之间的细小的逻辑差别（负责不就变成律师资格考
试 啦）。

E.g. We've saved a considerable amount of money.

15. 战争，军事，military,army,battle(field),armed forces,attack,combat,conflict,crusade,war,

武装到牙齿，这个说
法很形象
armed还可以解释为用知识或者技能来武装自己：E.g. She came to the meeting armed with all the facts
and figures to prove us wrong.
crusade (n.): 最初的意义是指11-13世 纪之间欧洲天主教国家在解放耶路撒冷的口号之下对亚洲穆斯林国家
发动的战争。到了现代，它的意义已 经泛化，可以指代说话者认为具有正义性质的一切努力和行动。（十字军东
征，参战者服装均饰以红十字 为标志，故称“十字军”。

其实这场战争并不是正义的）

E.g. They led an unsuccessful crusade against government corruption.
E.g. a crusade for equal rights
那么crusader是什么人，大家可以猜猜
了解历 史的目的是为了更好的明天，我在博客中（ngxu）写了几篇关于游戏和英语
的关系的文章，其实西方 的很多史诗级的游戏都是和历史有关的WOW, HEROES(英雄无敌)等，里面的很多职
业都是来 源于历史典故或者神话传说。一句话：学英语主要靠兴趣，无处不在的学英语才是学英语的最高境界。

welfare (n.): 福利（健康和幸福），这个词不要和farewell 弄混淆了，这个词是古语表示再见的意思，有不
讲述关于同性恋的电影叫Farewell, my concubine—霸王别姬
很多考生都会认为福利和钱还是有差别的，福利是无形的，钱是看得见 的，不过从个根本来说，福利其实就是
种金钱激励（至少西方人是这么认为的），所以welfare和 钱是相关词。
E.g. Annabelle stopped getting welfare benefits when her husband landed a minimum-wage job.

补助的方式有很多，但归根结底都可以用钱来表示，在这点上可以参考welfare

cave (n.): 山洞

E.g. a kidney complaint

是给予渔民们特权：如果这块礁石是由这个地区的渔民造的 并且带来了鱼群，那么这些鱼就专属于这些渔民。
大家想想在这里privilege（特权）是不是就 是表示只有他们才有的权利，是不是排他性的。
再给个例子，特权车，例如警车，闯红灯不犯法（非执 勤情况而且不鸣警笛的情况）是不是警车的特权呢？
再如，贵族学校是不是有钱人家孩子的特权呢？以特低价买商品房是不是某些官员的特权呢？

下面给大家简单介绍下罗马历中十二个月份 的来历（很多考生不明白为什么October十月的前缀表示的是数字
八的意思）：
公历一 年有
12个月，起源于古罗马历法。罗马原来只有10个月，古罗马皇帝决定增加两个月放在年尾，后来
朱里斯·凯撒大帝把这两个月移到年初，成为1月、2月，原来的1月、2月便成了3月、4月，依次类 推。这
就是今天世界沿用的公历。

January——1月 在罗马传说中，有 一位名叫雅努斯的守护神，生有先后两副脸，一副回顾过去，一副要眺
望未来。人们认为选择他的名字作 为除旧迎新的第一个月月名，很有意义。英语January，便是由这位守护神
的拉丁文名字演变而来 的。

February——2月 每年2月初，罗马人民都要杀牲饮酒，欢庆菲勃卢姆节 。这一天，人们常用一种牛、草
制成的名叫Februa的鞭子，抽打不育的妇女，以求怀孕生子。这一 天，人们还要忏悔自己过去一年的罪过，
洗刷自己的灵魂，求得神明的饶恕，使自己成为一个贞洁的人。 英语2月February，便是由拉丁文Februar-ius
（即菲勃卢姆节）演变而来。

March——3月 3月，原是罗马旧历法的1月，新年的开始。凯撒大帝改革历法后， 原来的1月变成3月，
但罗马人仍然把3月看做是一年的开始。另外，按照传统习惯，3月是每年出征远 战的季节。为了纪念战神玛
尔斯，人们便把这位战神的拉丁名字作为3月的月名。英语3月March， 便是由这位战神的名字演变而来的。

April——4月 罗马的4月，正是大地回春，鲜花初绽的美好季节。

May——5月 罗马神话中的女神 玛雅，专门司管春天和生命。为了纪念这位女神，罗马人便用她的名字——
拉丁文Maius命名5月， 英文5月May便由这位女神的名字演变而来。

June——6月 罗马神话中的裘诺， 是众神之王，又是司管生育和保护妇女的神。古罗马对她十分崇敬，便
把6月奉献给她，以她的名字—— 拉丁文Junius来命名6月。英语6月June便由这位女神的名字演变而来。
也有学者认为，Ju nius可能是拉丁家族中一个显赫贵族的姓氏。

July——7月 罗马统治者朱里斯 ·凯撒大帝被刺死后，著名的罗马将军马克·安东尼建议将凯撒大帝诞生的7
月，用凯撒的名字——拉丁 文Julius（即朱里斯）命名之。这一建议得到了元老院的通过。英语7月July由此
演变而来。

August——8月 朱里斯·凯撒死后，由他的甥孙屋大维续任罗马皇帝。为了和凯撒 齐名，他也想用自己的名
字来命名一个月份。他的生日在9月，但他选定8月。因为他登基后，罗马元老 院在8月授予他Augustus（奥
古斯都）的尊号。于是，他决定用这个尊号来命名8月。原来8月 比7月少一天，为了和凯撒平起平坐，他又
决定从2月中抽出一天加在8月上。从此，2月便少了一天。 英语8月August便由这位皇帝的拉丁语尊号演
变而来。

September——9月 老历法的7月，正是凯撒大帝改革历法后的9月，拉丁文Septem 是
“7”月的意思。
虽然历法改革了，但人们仍袭用旧名称来称呼9月。英语9月Septem ber，便由此演变而来。

October——10月 英语10月，来自拉丁文Oct o，即“8”的意思。它和上面讲的9月一样，历法改了，称
呼仍然沿用未变。

November——11月 罗马皇帝奥古斯都和凯撒都有了自己名字命名的月份，罗马市民和元老 院要求当时的
罗马皇帝梯比里乌斯用其名命名11月。但梯比里乌斯没有同意，他明智地对大家说，如果 罗马每个皇帝都用自
己的名字来命名月份，那么出现了第13个皇帝怎么办？于是，11月仍然保留着旧 称Novem，即拉丁文“9”的
意思。英语11月November便由此演变而来。

December——12月 罗马皇帝琉西乌斯要把一年中最后一个月用他情妇的Amagonius 的名字来命名，但遭
到元老院的反对。于是，12月仍然沿用旧名Decem，即拉丁文的意思。英语1 2月December，便由此
演变而来。

sentence.

170. intensive (100m sprint), demanding, exhaustive, concentrated,

于能力集中爆发的一项运动。
