| 词汇 | tunnel |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： tunnel (n.) c.1440, "funnel-shaped net for catching birds," from M.Fr. tonnelle "net," or tonel "cask," dim. of O.Fr. tonne "tun, cask for liquids," possibly from the same source as O.E. tunne (see tun). Sense of "tube, pipe" (1545) developed in Eng. and led to sense of "underground passage," which is first attested 1765, about five years after the first modern tunnel was built (on the Grand Trunk Canal in England). This sense subsequently has been borrowed into Mod.Fr. (1878). The earlier native word for this was mine. Meaning "burrow of an animal" is from 1873. The verb meaning "excavate underground" is first attested 1795. Tunnel vision first recorded 1949. The fig. phrase light at the end of the tunnel is attested from 1922. 词根记忆： n. 隧道,山洞The hungry drunk plunged a trunk of lungs into the tunnel under the channel.饥饿的醉汉把一大箱肺投进了水渠下面的隧道. n. 隧道(tunn管道+el)[-el表名词,"人或物"] 词根词缀： tunnel tunnel n 隧道(tunn管道+el) -el表名词,”人 或物” personnel n 全体人员(person人) colonel n 上校(colon=column柱子…像柱子…样站着的人…上校) wastrel n 浪费者 (waste浪费) sentinel n 哨兵(sent感觉,警觉+in+el) model n 模型(mod模式+el) parcel n 包裹(parc部分+el) novel n 小说(nov新奇+el) chisel n 凿子(chis挖+el) tunnel n 隧道(tunn管道+el) channel n 航道(chann管道+el) kennel n 狗窝(kenn[=can狗]+el,参考:canine狗的) |
