| 词汇 | grace |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： late 12c., "God's favor or help," from O.Fr. grace "pleasing quality, favor, good will, thanks," from L. gratia "pleasing quality, good will, gratitude," from gratus "pleasing, agreeable," from PIE base *gwer- "to praise, welcome" (cf. Skt. grnati "sings, praises, announces," Lith. giriu "to praise, celebrate," Avestan gar- "to praise"). Sense of "virtue" is early 14c., that of "beauty of form or movement, pleasing quality" is mid-14c. In classical sense, "one of the three sister goddesses (L. Gratiæ, Gk. Kharites), bestowers of beauty and charm," it is first recorded in English 1579 in Spenser. The short prayer that is said before or after a meal (early 13c., until 16c. usually graces) is in the sense of "gratitude." Verb meaning "to show favor" (mid-15c.) led to that of "to lend or add grace to something" (1580s, e.g. grace us with your presence), which is the root of the musical sense in grace notes (1650s). 词根记忆： n. 优美,文雅;恩惠,恩泽;宽限,缓刑;感恩祷告She walks with grace.她步态优雅. n. 优美,文雅(grace=grat,感激别人态度一定好,所以grace有了"文雅"的意义)[grat,gree=pleasing,表示"感激,高兴"] 词根词缀： grace grace n “优美,文雅(grace=grat,感激别人态度一定好,所以grace有了”文雅”的意义) ”grat,gree=pleasing,表示”感激,高兴” gratitude n 感激,感恩(grat+itude状态) gratuity n 赏钱,赠品(grat+uity=因感激给=赏钱=小费) gratuitous a 无缘无故的, 免费的(来自gratuity赏钱,给小费可多可少,所以”无缘无故 的”) ingratiate v 迎合,讨好(in进入+grat+iate=使[别人]进入高兴=讨好[别人]) ingratiating a 讨好的,诌媚的(ingratiate+ing) gratify v 使满足,喜悦(grat+ify使…=使[人]满足,高兴) gratification n 满足,喜悦(gratify+ication) grateful a 感谢的,愉快的(grate+ful多…的) ingrate n 忘恩负义之人(in不+grate=不感激=忘恩负义) grace n “优美,文雅(grace=grat,感激别人态度一定好,所以grace有了”文雅”的意义) ”gracious a 文雅的,亲切的(grace+ions) agreeable a 愉快的,适意的(a+gree=able;agree”同意”) agreement n 协议,一致(agree+ment) disagree v 不一致,争执(dis不+agree同意) |
