| 词根词缀 | 词源： c.1300 (n.), early 14c. (v.), originally in legal sense of "calling" to a higher judge or court, from Anglo-Fr. apeler "to call upon, accuse," from O.Fr. apeler (11c., Mod.Fr. appeler), from L. appellare "to accost, address, appeal to, summon, name," iterative of appellere "to prepare," from ad- "to" + pellere "to beat, drive." Probably a Roman metaphoric extension of a nautical term for "driving a ship toward a particular landing." Popular modern meaning "to be attractive or pleasing" is quite recent, attested from 1907 (appealing in this sense is from 1891), from the notion of "to address oneself in expectation of a sympathetic response." 词根记忆： vi. 呼吁,恳求;申诉n.呼吁;申诉;吸引力The healer reveals an appealing fact that health is great wealth to the commonwealth.医治者揭示一个吸引人的事实:健康是联邦的巨大财富. |
