词根词缀 | 词源: 1. brook (n.) "small stream," O.E. broc "flowing stream," of obscure origin, probably from P.Gmc. *broka- which yielded words in Ger. (Bruch) and Du. (broek) that have a sense of "marsh." In Sussex and Kent, it means "water-meadow," and in plural, "low, marshy ground." 2. brook (v.) "to endure," O.E. bruccan "use," from P.Gmc. *bruk- "to make use of, enjoy" (cf. Ger. brauchen "to use"), from PIE base *bhrug- "to make use of, have enjoyment of" (cf. L. fructus). Sense of "use" applied to food led to "be able to digest," and by 16c. to "tolerate." 词根记忆: n. 小溪vt.[常用于否定句或疑问句]容忍The matter brooks no delay.此事刻不容缓. |
