| 词汇 | heathen |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： O.E. hæðen "not Christian or Jewish," merged with O.N. heiðinn. Historically assumed to be from Goth. haiþno "gentile, heathen woman," used by Ulfilas in the first translation of the Bible into a Gmc. language (cf. Mark 7:26, for "Greek"); if so it could be a derivative of Goth. haiþi "dwelling on the heath," but this sense is not recorded. It may have been chosen on model of L. paganus (see pagan), or for resemblance to Gk. ethne (see gentile), or may in fact be a borrowing of that word, perhaps via Armenian hethanos. Like other words for exclusively Christian ideas (e.g. church) it would have come first into Gothic, then spread to other Gmc. languages. 词根记忆： n. 异教徒(heath荒野;灌木丛)[-en③表名词,"人或物"②表形容词,"由…制成",通常加在名词后面①表动词,"变成"] 词根词缀： heathen heathen n 异教徒(heath荒野,灌木丛) -en (1) 表动词,”变成” shorten v 缩短(short短) darken v 变黑(dark黑) sharpen v 削尖(sharp尖) straiten v 使狭窄(straot海峡,困难) hasten v 促进(haste匆忙) dampen v 使潮湿,使沮丧(damp潮湿) hearthen v 鼓励(heart心) broaden v 加宽(broad宽) sweeten v 变甜(sweet甜) (2) 表形容词,”由…制成”,通常加在名词后面 wooden a 木制的(wood木头) woolen a 羊毛制的(wool羊毛) golden a 金(色) 的(gold金子) waxen a 蜡制的(wax蜡) oaken a 橡木制的(oak橡树) (3) 表名词,”人或物” warden n 看守人(ward守卫,保卫) vixen n 泼妇(vix雌狐) citizen n 公民(city城市) heathen n 异教徒(heath荒野,灌木丛) maiden n 少女(maid少女) chicken n 小鸡(chick小鸡) kitten n 小猫(kit=cat猫) |
