初三英語上冊知識點(diǎn):疊聲合成詞
在英語合成詞中,有一種不是很普遍的,也較少人注意的,那就是疊聲合成詞(repetition compounds)。
疊聲合成詞多數(shù)是名詞,也可轉(zhuǎn)化為形容詞、動詞或副詞,有三種形式:
Ⅰ兩個字都相同,如:
● He pooh-poohed my idea.(輕視)
● It is a hush-hush report not to be made public.(秘密的`)
● The boy said bye-bye to his parents.(再見)
其他類似的疊聲合成詞有:
clank-clank(鏈子聲), drip-drip(雨水聲), tap-tap(打字機(jī)的聲音), so so(馬馬虎虎), goody-goody(偽善的), fifty-fifty(各半的), pretty-pretty(打扮得很俗氣的), thump-thump(砰然聲), snip-snip(剪聲)等。
Ⅱ第二字的元音和第一字的不同,如:
● Electric networks criss-cross the whole island.(交叉往來)
● The government dilly-dallied over lengthening the retirement age.(猶疑不決)
● The blinds flip-flopped in the wind.(飄搖、搖曳)
● The drunkard zig-zagged along the road.(彎彎曲曲地走)
● Most women like knick-knacks.(小裝飾品)
● Is it possible to get rid of the riff-raff of a society?(下等人)
● The graduating students had a pleasant sing-song in the garden.(歌唱會)
● Do you like wishy-washy soup?(淡而無味的)
Ⅲ第二字的輔音和第一字的不同,如:
● Barbarians in ancient times had to kow-tow to government officials.(叩頭)
● Some people are not used to the hub-bub of the city. (喧囂)
● I pity those who lead a humdrum life year in year out.(單調(diào)的)
● Willy-nilly, young people at the age of 18 must go for military training.(不管愿意或不愿意)
● Don't play hanky-panky with your friends.(陰謀詭計(jì))
●? When rain suddenly came, the pedestrians ran helter-skelter.(狼狽地)
●? Tom and his friends used to hob-nob in the bar.(共飲、親切地交談)
●? The defeated soldiers retreated pell-mell.(混亂地)
●? The market in the morning is usually filled with hurly-burly.(喧鬧)
疊聲合成詞形象清新,但數(shù)量不多,用的范疇也較局限,通常都不在嚴(yán)肅或正式的場合出現(xiàn)。
