英语趣味小知识a)Ten animals I slam in a net. 我把十只动物一网打尽你注意到这句话有什么特别之处吗?对了,无论从左到右,还是从右到左,字母排列顺序都是一样的,英语把这叫做Palindromes 回文(指顺读和倒读都一样的词语),关于动物的回文还有以下的例子 Otto saw pup ; pup was Otto. (奥托看见了小狗,小狗的名字叫奥托) Was it a car or a cat I saw ? Was it a rat I saw ? (我刚才看见的是条老鼠?)b)the bee's knees又来形容最好的至高无上的东西。[例] She is a very poor singer but she thinks she's the bee's knees. (她五音不全却自认为是高高在上的一流歌手。)该表现起源于20年代的美国,仅仅因为bee's 和 knees押韵,琅琅上口,迅速得到流传,直到现在, 还在日常生活非正式场合的对话中经常使用。

英语中有相当数量的高层次词汇,具有特定的知识和文化背景,想要记住这些词汇是要讲究方法的,你知道有什么方法可以快速记忆英语词汇吗?下面由我给你带来关于有趣的英语单词记忆技巧,希望对你有帮助!
fourscore = four(4)×score(20) 80
美国第16任总统林肯演说词第一句:fourscore and seven years ago, 那么,怎样才能记住 fourscore 这个词而终生不忘呢?只要我们了解了fourscore 的逻辑思维模式是 four(4)×score(20) 80, 其他与此相类似的几个词就能记住终生不忘。
threescore = three()×score(20) 60
fourscore = four() ×score(20) 80
fivescore = five(5)×score(20) 100
sixscore = six(6) ×score(20) 120
eightscore = eight ×score(20) 160
人们很难记住某些广告词中的所谓“ docosahexenoic acid ”和“ eicosa-pentaenoic acid”即简称为“DHA”和“EPA”这两个词。其实,只要掌握了化学词汇中的英语数字命名法,上述两个词的理解与记忆便会简单易行。
EPA = eicosapentaenoic acid = eicosa(20)+pentaenoic(5)+acid
= 廿碳五烯酸简称“EPA”。其中,eicos(a)用于20 ̄21的“ 20 ”。
DHA = docosahexenoic acid = do(2)+cosa(20)+hexenoic(6)+acid
= 廿二碳六烯酸简称“NHA”。其中,cos(a)用于22 ̄29的“ 20 ”。
ode ...极
ana- 在...上
anode 阳极
cath- 在...下
cathode 阴极
electro- 表示“电的”
electrode 电极
只要我们了解了阳极的英语含义是“在上面的极”,那么,阴极显然就是“在
下面的极”,而“电极”自然也就记住了。
ode ...管
diode 二极管
triode 三极管
tetrode 四极管
pentode 五极管
hexode 六极管
heptode 七极管
octode 八极管
nonode 九极管
同样,知道了二极管的逻辑思维模式,其他几种管的记忆可以说是轻而易举。
auriferous 含金的
argentiferous 含银的
ferous 含...的
当遇见“含金的”和“含银的”这两个词时,人们很容易联想起“ gold ”和
“ silver ”,因此就很难记住上述两个高难度词汇。其实,只要我们运用化学知识,这种词汇的记忆并不困难。
oxygen 氧 (O)
cerium 铈 (Ce)
gold 金 (Au)
silver 银 (Ag)
“氧”(oxygen)的化学元素符号是该词的第一个字母“ O ”,“铈”(cerium)的化学元素符号是该词的前两个字母“ ce ”,而“金”(gold)与其元素符号 Au,“银”(silver)与其元素符号 Ag 则完全是风马牛不相及的。
gold 金 (Au)
aurum 金 (Au)
silver 银 (Ag)
argentum 银 (Ag)
copper 铜 (Cu)
iron 铁 (Fe)
lead 铅 (Pb)
tin 锡 (Sn)
sodium 钠 (Na)
potassium 钾 (K)
antimony 锑 (Sb)
tungsten 钨 (W)
mercury 汞 (Hg)
英语化学元素中有11种使用的是英语的固有词汇,但是这些词汇均属低层次词汇,不能登大雅之堂,所以,还必须记住这11种中元素的相应的外来语词汇。外来语词汇“金”(aurum)的前两个字母 Au,“银”(argent)的前两个字母 Ag 便构成了它化学元素符号。懂得了上述道理,auriferous 和 argentiferous 这两个高难词汇就不难记住。
Ytterby 瑞典小镇伊特比
yttrium 钇 (1794)
erbium 铒 (1842)
terbium 铽 (1842)
ytterium 镱 (1907)
1794年在瑞典小镇伊特比的黑石中发现了化学元素“钇”,决定用 Ytterby命名该元素:yttrium。1842 年在该镇的黑石中发现了化学元素“铒”, 决定用Ytterby 的第四、五、六、七个字母 erby 命名该元素:erbium。1842 年该镇的黑石中发现了化学元素“铒”,决定用 Ytterby 的第、四、五、 六、 七个字母terby 命名该元素:terbium。1907 年又在该镇的黑石中发现了化学元素“镱”,决定用 Ytterby 的全称命名该元素:ytterbium。这样,我们不但记住了这四种元素的英语名称,而且在需要时可做到脱口而出,书写无误。
bananashrub 含笑
banana 香蕉
shrub 灌木
“含笑”是我们中国人根据该花花冠下垂的姿态犹如“少女垂首,含笑不语”而命名,英语则是根据该花开花时能够释放出香蕉般芬芳的味道以及其为灌木的特点命名为“能够释放出香蕉般芬芳的灌木”(baananashrub)。
chrystmascactus 蟹爪兰
Chrystmas 圣诞节
cactus 仙人掌
“蟹爪兰”是我们中国人根据该花为蟹爪状而命名,而英语则是根据其次在植物分类学上属于仙人掌科及其在西殴和美国一般是在圣诞节前夕开花的特点命名为“圣诞节前夕开花的仙人掌”(chyristmascactus)。
octopus 章鱼
oct- 八
pus 相当于“ 腕 ”
“章鱼”的英语含义是“八腕鱼”(octopus)。
