| 词汇 | machine |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： 1540s, "structure of any kind," from M.Fr. machine "device, contrivance," from L. machina "machine, engine, fabric, frame, device, trick" (cf. Sp. maquina, It. macchina), from Gk. makhana, Doric variant of mekhane "device, means," related to mekhos "means, expedient, contrivance," from PIE *maghana- "that which enables," from base *magh- "to be able, have power" (cf. O.C.S. mogo "be able," O.E. mæg "I can;" see might). Main modern sense of "device made of moving parts for applying mechanical power" (1670s) probably grew out of mid-17c. senses of "apparatus, appliance" and "military siege-tower." In late 19c. slang the word was used for both "penis" and "vagina," one of the very few to be so honored. Political sense is U.S. slang, first recorded 1876. Machine Age (1922) was coined by Lewis Mumford. Machine-gun is first attested 1870; the verb is from 1915. Machine for living (in) "house" translates Le Corbusier's machine à habiter (1923). 词根记忆： n. 机器,机械v.用机器加工The machine performs well.那部机器运转良好. n. 机器[mach,mech=machine,表示"机器"] 词根词缀： machine machine n 机器mach,mech=machine,表示”机器” machine n 机器macination n 阴谋,策划(machine机器,引伸为操纵+ation=操纵=搞阴谋) mechanic n 机械师mechanize v 机械化(mechan机械+ize) |
