单词记忆密码之一 头头是道
第一组、隐姓埋名系列
在周星驰主演的《唐伯虎点秋香》中,唐伯虎抛弃荣华富贵,隐姓埋名卖身为奴,通过画画、报信、捡风筝、装死、耍赖等手段,千方百计接近心上人秋香,一片赤诚之心感天动地,有情人终成眷属。
请问, “唐伯虎抛弃荣华富贵,隐形埋名,卖身为奴给华府” 如何翻译成英文呢?
Discarding his status and wealth, TigerTang anonymously sold himself to Chamber Hua where he servedas a humble servant.
anonymously是副词,它的形容词anonymous已经在研究生考试中出现了2次,考察到它表示 ‘匿名的,无名的’,为什么anonymous具有这个意思呢?
anonymous= a(否定) + nonym(=name) + ous(形)
连名字都没有,当然是匿名的;
常用表达:

第三组、超级女声系列
超级女声如何翻译成英文,有媒体翻译为Supergirl? 恰当吗?
老外的第一个联想就是supergirl一定是superman与superwoman生下的daughter。
而且超级女声是声音的声。
国内外媒体普遍接受的一个翻译就是super voice of girl, 或super-voice girl.
我还见过有国内的报纸把超级女声的赞助商蒙牛酸酸乳,翻译为:Meng Cow, SourSour Cream.

单词记忆密码之二: 音变规律
中文音变拾趣
例如 ‘一个人’的发音

东北话发音
yin
江西话发音(南昌周围)
len
四川话发音
zen
湖南话发音(湘潭周围)
yun
广州话发音
yen
湖南与福建的尴尬。f -- h
湖南:我是“腐烂”人;福建:经常坐“灰鸡”
要是汉语演变成了拼音文字, 是不是一个 “人” 就会出现各种方言不同的书写方法???
不过,幸好汉字没有演变为拼音文字。不仅没有演变,还统一成了一种文字。一个人功不可没。
从秦始皇开始,中国 “书同文,车同轨,行同伦”。
英语音变的历史
那么已经演变成拼音文字的英文,会不会出现英语英变的情况呢?
答案是肯定的。英语由于先后受到四个民族侵略,多元文化的影响。当我们穿越历史的长河、时间的阻隔时,许多拼写不同的多个单词就产生了必然的联系。
一.罗马帝国(Roman Empire,公元前1世纪)
Julius Caesar 把拉丁文引入
二.西日尔曼民族(Anglo-Saxon,5世纪)
古德语构成了古英语的基础.
当时岛上的西日尔曼民族主要是Anglo-Saxon人,其中又以Anglo人居多,所以英国的名字就是Anglaland.
音变规则:
Anglaland (land of the Angles)
Engla+land==England
在法语中依然称英国为Anglais, 在西班牙语Inglaterra,这说明 ‘a-e-i’这三个元音由于口音的不同是可以互换的。
三.北欧海盗(Scandinavia,8世纪)
Vikingsvik-vic(征服)k-c互换
victory n. 胜利
victim=vict+im n.受害者,牺牲品
victimize = victim + ize
vt. 使成为受害者
四.诺曼征服(Norman=North Man,1066年)
有-que的单词都是法语词汇: etiquette,
fiancé, fiancée (法语单词有阴阳之分)
五.文艺复兴(Renaissance,14-16世纪)
alto男高音, solo独唱, soprano女高音
六.英文第一部词典问世, 英语才停止了音变. (Samuel Johnson,1775年) 。
七. 中国文化的影响(20世纪以来)
toufu, jiaozi, hutong, lychee, typhoon, shanghai, dim-sum,cumquat
(金橘)借自粤方言kumquat ,Tea, Silk
元音音变: a-e-i-o-u互换
音变的残留例子
Australia
To die is man die. [ai]
Today isMonday[ei]
e-i互换
emperorn.皇帝 形容词?
imperial a.皇帝的
e-i互换 -or名词后缀, -ial形容词后缀
enemy敌人 形容词?
inimical有敌意的
ical形容词后缀
辨析: appreciate, depreciate
价格围绕价值上下波动
appreciate = ap(ad) + preci (price) +ate
v.升值;涨价;
(派生意义)欣赏;感激
depreciate = de(down) + preci(price) +ate
v.贬值; 跌价;
(派生意义)贬低; 轻视

aqua-是水, 为什么oct-aqua是8瓶水?
oct-罗马拉丁词根, 表示八
问题: 为什么October是十月? 按照词根, 应该是八月才对.
罗马古历只有十个月,但是后来罗马两个著名的君主为了名垂青史,把自己的名字硬生生的加入到了月份当中。
Julius Caesar. 制定了Julian Calendar(儒略历, 公历的前身). 一年12个月, 单数大月,双数小月. 二月29天, 润年30天.
然后根据自己的名字命名七月July, 因此原来的Augustus 奥古斯都:罗马帝国第一任皇帝.凯撒的侄孙。把自己的名字命名八月August, 还从2月份抢来一天。以显示自己的成就不比恺撒小。
因此September和October都推迟了两个月.
