As homonyms are identical in sound or spelling, particularly homophones, they are often employed to create puns for desired effect of, say, humor, sarcasm or ridicule. Consider the following conversation that takes place between a waitress and a customer in a restaurant: “You are not eating the fish,” the waitress said to him, “Anything wrong with it?”“Long time no sea,” the man replied.答案：Long time no see is usually said as a form of greeting between two friends when they meet after a long time of separation. Here the customer cleverly employed the structure of the idiom tohis advantage to criticize in a humorous way the bad quality of the food served at the restaurant. Long time no sea implies that the “sea food kept for a long time is not fit for eating.”（问题）2. Collocation can affect the meaning of words答案：Collocation refers to the words before or after the word in discussion, and collocative meaning consists of the associations the word acquires in its collocation. Words with the same conceptual meaning may have different meanings due to the range of words they may collocate with. In other words, collocation can affect the meanings of words. For example, “pretty”and “handsome” share the conceptual meaning of “good looking”, but are distinguished by the range of nouns they collocate with: pretty girl (boy/woman/flower) and handsome man (car/airline, etc.).（问题）3. The “pen” is mightier than the “sword”.Explain what “pen” and “sword” mean respectively using the theory of motivation.答案：(1). Motivation accounts for the connection between the linguistic symbol and its meaning.(2). Semantic motivation, one of the four major types of motivation, explains the connection between the literal sense and figurative sense of the word. (3). In this sentence, “pen” reminds one of the tool to write with, thus suggesting writing; “sword” reminds one of the weapon to fight with, thus suggesting war.（问题）4. Connotative meaning is not stable. Comment on this statement with one example.答案：(1).Connotative meaning, known as connotation, refers to the overtones or associations suggested by the conceptual meaning. (2). Connotative meanings are not given in the dictionary, but associated with the word in actual context to particular readers or speakers. Thus they are unstable, varying considerably according to culture, historical period and the experience of the individual. (3). For example, the word “home” may remind one child of warmth, safety or love, while to another child who is often scolded or beaten at home, it may mean indifference, hatred, or even hell.（问题）5. Grammatical meaning, lexical meaning, stylistic meaning, affective meaning, connotative meaning, collocative meaning, conceptual meaning, associative meaning, denotative meaning, formal, neutral, informal, appreciative, pejorative答案：Meaning—grammatical meaning—lexical meaning—conceptual meaning(denotative meaning)—associative meaning—connotative meaning—collocative meaning—stylistic meaning(formal, neutral, informal)—affective meaning(appreciative, pejorative)（问题）6. Analyze the morphological structures of the following words and point out the types of the morphemes.recollection, nationalist, unearthly答案：(1). Each of the three words consists of three morphemes, recollection (re+collection), nationalist (nation+al+ist), unearthly (un+earth+ly).(2). Of the nine morphemes, only “collect”, “nation” and “earth” are free morphemes as theycan exist by themselves.(3) All the rest re-, -ion, -al, -ist, un- and-ly are bound as none of them can stand alone aswords.（问题）7. Analyze and comment on the following.He has been sick since this fall.Tell what “sick” and “fall” mean respectively and explain why they take on those meanings in modern American English.答案：(1). ”sick” means “ill” and “fall” means “autumn” in present American English;(2). These words no longer have such meanings in presnet British English;(3). American English has revived the old meaning of “sick” and that of “fall”. This is therevival of archaic or obsolete words.（问题）8. Find blends from the following sentence and give the explanation of which types of blendings they belong to respectively.“There is a set of hi-fi in the motel. ”答案：(1). Blends: hi+fi=high+fidelity, motel=motor+hotel;(2). hi+fi: head+head, motel: head+tail.（问题）9. Explain the rhetoric use of homonyms in B’s speech. Give the two possible Chinese translations.A. “What color would you paint the sun and the wind?”B. “The sun rose and the wind blue.”答案：(1). Rose can be defined in two ways: color of rose and the past form of the verb rise.(2). Blue in two ways too: the color blue and the past form of the verb blow (in pronunciation).a). 粉红的太阳，蓝色的风。

单词的中文意思（TheChinesemeaningoftheword）
单词的中文意思（The Chinese meaning of the word）How to remember the meaning of English wordsA big problem is not a problemI start on sina "quick English online FAQ" has been more than two years, has answered the net friend of more than ten thousand questions, but there is a problem that I find most "strange,"I don't have this problem as a problem, think everyone should know the answer to this question, I didn't even prepared the answer to this question, but this problem have been filed, and the questions of the repeat frequency is quite high, which makes me have to take this issue as a "big issue" to pay attention to, and will carefully consider good answer to this problem, in view of this problem is very universal, I will answer this question, published in the blog, this question is "how to remember English words in Chinese mean?" It is.If you think about it, who invented English? British people! Do British people know Chinese? Don't know! So do British people need to remember the Chinese meaning of words when learning English words? No, there are no Chinese characters in English textbooks. How to remember the Chinese meaning of the word? So why do Chinese people learn English to remember the Chinese meaning of words when they don't need to remember (or even see) the Chinese meaning of the word? Doesn't that surprise you?However, because Chinese people learn English in the back of the words in Chinese, so people can't find the "back Chinese characters" any strange. Actually think about it, this behavior is really very strange, strange root is not in itself, and theChinese is generally not directly identify the meaning of English words, and therefore had to rely on Chinese symbols to mechanically help to memorize English words meaning, so to learn English not only extravagance, and is bound to be in pain memories of endless symbols of disaster.Actually English words and Chinese characters, there are a lot of "Chinese character component radical", know that the Chinese character component radical you can according to their direct to guess the meaning of the word, say not guess one hundred percent accurate, but at least you can guess, probably at least after people tell the meaning of your word you can suddenly realize to comprehend it, so that it can greatly enhance your English words "word meaning" knowledge ability, really know a word, and the Chinese meaning of it as a general reference only.Words such as representative, please don't rush to tell me do you know this word, in fact you not really "know" this word, you are just with your memory to remember a list of English letters and two Chinese characters symbol "on behalf of the corresponding relationship between", so that you will be more difficult to learn English? Now let me tell you why this word means "representative". Re in English is a partial, it is the meaning of "coming back"; The pre is also a side-by-side, which means "forward"; Sent is also a partial ministry, is "send out, send out"; A is only part of the Chinese character component radical between a "connector", didn't it two consonants t will together, the pronunciation will be, will be difficult, therefore with a vowel letters a separated; Tive is also a partial ministry, is "human" meaning. So what does this bunch of partial heads mean? Re - pre-sent - a - tive, is "come back- forward - sent to -", that is, "come back to ask everyone's opinion, and then send out to speak for everybody", this is not the meaning of "representative"! To know a word is to know the word, to recognize it.Psy = sci, is a partial, is "know" meaning; Cho is a side of the side, is the meaning of "heart"; Lo is the side of a side, is the meaning of "to say"; Gy is a side of the side, is the meaning of "learning", and the word "logy" is the meaning of "doctrine". Therefore, psy - cho - y is linked to "the theory of the heart", hence the meaning of "psychology".So, with that kind of push, not much,I'd like to express views already clear, that is, not to memorize words in Chinese meaning, but want to use the method of identification of "Chinese character component radical" to really know a word, really know the words, you will find the Chinese translation of the original words to the vocabulary is very reluctantly, sometimes even basic translation not to come out, because Chinese and English are two different words system, both on the text was not one to one correspondence, only back English words, Chinese characters mean don't really know the word, can cause a lot of subsequent learning difficulties, to see the English words will cause you a lifetime like a hazy, always have a back out strangeness.To answer this question when I discovered the Chinese to the English Chinese character component radical new two main reasons, one is one of the important content is not in the school English teaching materials, everyone in the classroom is lessthan (the current school English teaching is an urgent need to make up for the defects). 2 is one of the few bookstore sales of books about this aspect content too complicated, dynamic track hundreds of thousands of pages, content bitter large, affected the popularity of these common sense, make originally of common sense is not common sense. Actually in English learning of Chinese character component radical named "root", has more than two hundred, they are like as common and important 26 letters, like the Chinese character component in the Chinese radical common and important, they are learning English in the first class should be an important content of learning, learning English should be as soon as possible to master the important sense, as soon as possible to get rid of the brute-force state of rote learning, early access to scientific, efficient, state of literacy.Sweet greetings to great talent! To learn!China great talent concentration camp, the thinker's paradise "worry record" education column collection!Teacher qu is right. Remember English words can't be remembered as Chinese. But English is a foreign language for Chinese, and the thought of the mother tongue has been formed, and before I can get away from my mother tongue, I have to have a bridge in my mother tongue. Domestic common used by large primary and secondary school English textbooks, even including those used by the brim of the foreign language school textbooks, although the form of the text is full of English, but after class English word list is have a meaning in Chinese, this is going on here?I still don't understand. Why do the people who write the bookuse Chinese annotations? Miss qu, can you say something?Teacher: you're right. You can really recognize a word by identifying the "side by side" method. But where can we learn English from the side?What the teacher said is right! Unfortunately, the teaching of the school is still memorized, and it does not tell the students the efficient learning method. It's time to give the teachers a lesson.Once you have a certain English foundation, you should use the english-english version of the dictionary, such as the fourth edition of longman, the Macmillin dictionary, and the Collins Cobuild dictionary. Further study, you can use the original English Dictionary by Merriam Webster's Collegiate English Dictionary or OXford English. I have already learned a lot about my teacher's quick English, let me put it this way. I only need 10 seconds, 40 seconds of the alphabet, and a big grammar of my chest.My current experience is that it's not advisable to borrow Chinese words, because I can't remember English at the moment. English is the right way to learn English.My current vocabulary is a conservative estimate of 19,320. Because I am currently memorizing the longman2005 dictionary at the rate of 210 words a day, today I am writing the 19,320 word kudos.I didn't advertise my teacher qu. I did it because I was ableto read English after I learned the quick English. The speed of memorizing words is the speed of memorizing specific words. For this purpose, I made an audio recording of the 40332 words in the longman dictionary CD to make an mp3 to each file 210 each day I memorized the pronunciation of the words.A word, English is really flying by leaps and bounds!This is to pay tribute to the invention of teacher qu.An English lover who is obsessed with EnglishUpstairs that guy who says he's not an advertising fan, you're not an advertisement. You have been obsessed with English for so long and the number of words is so large. Now, which country is the best? Is English listening and speaking better than American primary school students?Teacher qu, the first time I heard about the root, why did they always say root?I'm afraid I have an individualistic identity when I take it down. Take the representative into re-present - a - tiveIf I am not wrong, your so-called ministry in English, also in Chinese memory?? You put the memory of a simple Chinese "is for" became to remember "come back" - - sent to forward - people ", namely "come back after you advice has been sent to speak for all",Aren't you more trouble? More retarded??Every day, I open your blog to see if there are any new articles. Every time I look at your articles, it is very enlightening. Now I have made great progress in English, and I really appreciate it.I am an embarrassment to these methods now.Seriously, I don't quite understand the way this is written, and the way it's written is complicated, and it's very tiring. ...... Maybe I said you'd be angry, but that's true.Can we know the meaning of English words in Chinese? An English word is not always used in Chinese to remember meaning. We learn English as a foreign language, but the English language is English, which is their own language.You substituted the location for the wrong, which caused you to contradict [my previous 7th floor].EpiphanyI haven't heard any enlightening words for a long timeMy English even has such an undiscovered important newroadTeacher I love youTake the American language textbook directly.Don't children in America need textbooks to learn English? Or are they all learning Chinese?I don't know, it's new, but I'm afraid it's hard to do.1. There is probably no market for simple and practical root teaching materials.2. Can "back - forward - send out" to be "sent back to ask for everyone's opinions and then sent to speak for everyone", then lenovo to "representative"...To be honest, this kind of abstract associative ability is really amazing...I am a junior high school dropout -- perhaps my associative ability has not been developed? I'm connected to the word "the messenger," or "the herald," of the ancient battlefields.I can't think of it as "representative"!Is there a relationship between abstract associative ability and educational background?As for the second, the word of psychology, I guess it when I see it.Because "psycho" means psychology, this I used to back, and I know to end with "gy", usually is "... study ", so can guess.So, Mr. Qu's method, at present, has a certain effect on somewords that have been deformed by basic original form.Well, in addition, I've added some insert character functions that I use in Word, and I'm forced to insert the phonetic symbol.Maybe they can be displayed on sina's blog and some standard web pages, so that Mr. Song won't have to say "an inverted e" when he enters a phonetic symbol.Just copy the phonetic symbol I provided.Of course, I don't guarantee that they're 100% visible.In my experiments, if you copy them into a notepad, you have to adjust the font of the notepad to the song body (the best encoding is also a Unicode big endian) to show them properly.Strange,I post on baidu post bar basically all successful phonetic mark, in this here unexpectedly is not successful (mo not be treated as advertisement to filter out)?Test again, this is made of others D.J. 12 version: [p] [b] [t] [d] [k] [g] [f] [v] [s] [z] [theta] [Well, I'm not going to call it, but it's always going to be filtered out as invalid characters.I'd like to ask Mr. Qu some combination sounds in American English, such as ns.When this phonetic combination appears at the end of some words, its pronunciation seems to be similar to that of ts, which is similar to the clear consonant "defects".I was in longman electronic dictionary query based on "confidence" (Kang Fo '+ well' defects) and "sentence" (3 '+ well' defects) of these two words, and play their human (either British or American pronunciation are available), the end is "defects".In a recording of li Yang's crazy English, the two foreigners also read "confidence".However, the word "chance" (" chance ") is a word that sounds like "um silk" in the longman electronic dictionary.So, it doesn't seem to be 100 percent.Where is the office of quick English in Beijing? My family is living in Beijing. I would like to visit your office to have a look at the learning atmosphere of quick English.If only I could have spent one year learning English fast English to be your English teacher, I'd really like to give it a try - it's just that I'm starting from scratch,The vocabulary is only at the level of the first trimester, I'm afraid...Completely to learn English is my hobbies, because now I alreadydon't need to take the messy test (because I was high grades to pass the English exam) that no utilitarian English learning is the way, upstairs a net friend asked the question asked whether English ability to the elementary student's level, I want to say it should be no problem, because I love most is the original English cartoons. Without subtitles and less than three years old, I and my son to watch the original edition of the original Street. The attitude of learning English is to have the mentality to zero, I can now watch subtitles to see us original drama, movies. Don't have dictionary to look at the New York times. English is my current is very important means of access to information.I don't think I can make an advertisement, but I have seen a lot of books in English, and the English word is a word: cow. It is a real learning method.You're amazing upstairs friends!Can I add you as a friend on QQ? My QQ is 83972693. I'd like to ask you some details about the pronunciation.For example, is the years actually a reading of "leaves" or "ye zi zi"? I would like to have a standard pronunciation to explain my doubts.Why is it that the pronunciation rules taught in schools, the recording of certain phonetic symbols, are always different from those in the actual recording I heard?Garage, for example, what exactly is according to the teacherread '+' into 'day ", or according to the longman dictionary of contemporary English revision 4 electronic of human (either British or American) that read "lattice into + love poem"?Teacher qu, I'd like to learn your quick English. I have read most of your articles on the Internet and video, but it is still a way to separate the mountains from the quick English. I also know that you can't expect too much from your material, but your textbook is too expensive. Especially the grammar, I think the quick English studio why does not take the teaching material to break down a little bit.It's a question that always bothers me.Someone told me. The word was not meant to be. Read more.But it is impossible to find books covering all the vocabulary of the four or six levels of the test.Only the word and the han. It's a big problem for me.I saw the teacher's explanation today. It dawned on me. thank youIt's been ten years since I learned English, and I first spoke English to the black people at school yesterday, but he praised me for my good spoken English.To send comments。

The Meaning of Words
1 The meaning of words has
2 aspects: denotative meaning---what the word literally means as defined by the dictionary and connotative meaning---the feeling or idea suggested by the word.
For example:
Country refers to an area of land and its population and government.
Nation emphasizes the people of a country.
State refers to the government or political organization of a country.
Land is less precise but more literary and emotive than country.
Phrases:
an island country
neighboring countries
a peace-loving nation
the awakening nations of Africa
the support of the whole nation
state organs
state-owned enterprises
native land
mother land
2 It is hard to find two words that are exactly the same in meaning and use. They may be different in stylistic level, in the degree of emphasis, in emotional coloring, in tone, and in collocation.
stylistic level: some more formal than others
ask---question----interrogate
time---age---epoch
rise---mount----ascend
the degree of emphasis: some more emphatic
Large is used to describe things that are unusually big; huge means extremely large and is more emphatic than large.
Emotional coloring:
Small is objective, while little may imply a feeling of fondness.
Tone: laudatory and derogatory
Modest is a virtue; humble often refers to undue self-depreciation.
Collocation: large amount, number, quantity
great courage, confidence, ability, wisdom。
