| 词汇 | bitter |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： O.E. biter "bitter, sharp, cutting, angry, cruel, embittered," from P.Gmc. *bitras- (cf. O.S. bitar, O.N. bitr, Du. bitter, O.H.G. bittar, Ger. bitter, Goth. baitrs "bitter"), from PIE base*bheid- "to split" (cf. O.E. bitan "bite;" see bite). Evidently the meaning drifted in prehistoric times from "biting, of pungent taste," to "acrid-tasting." Used figuratively in O.E. of states of mind and words. Phrase to the bitter end is attested from 1849. Related: Bitterly. 词根记忆： a. (有)苦(味)的;痛苦的,厉害的This orange tastes bitter.这个桔子有点苦. |
