1. sophistry /ˈsɒfɪstrɪ/
定义: cleverly deceptive reasoning
例句: The defendant’s claim that he wasn’t guilty of the crime because he didn’t actually pull the trigger was dismissed as pure sophistry.
例句语法结构:主谓宾从,because引导原因状语从句
例句中文翻译:被告说自己无罪,因为他并没有扣下扳机,纯粹诡辩,给予驳回。
单词中文意思及词性:sophistry n.诡辩
介绍段落精简句型解析及推荐背诵句式:sophist,看到ist应该能判断该词意思为“诡辩家”。Political selection is more dependent on sophistry and less on economic literacy. (句子来源:柯林斯词典)政治竞选更多取决于诡辩之术而非对经济是否懂行。感觉川普打脸希拉里了。。。
2. sophisticated /səˈfɪstɪˌkeɪtɪd/
定义: (1) having a thorough and refined knowledge of the ways of society; (2) highly complex or developed
例句: In Woman of the Year Katharine Hepburn plays a sophisticated newspaperwoman who can handle everything except Spencer Tracy.
例句语法结构:主谓宾,定语从句
例句中文翻译:在“妇女年度人物“中,Katharine Hepburn作为一个久经世事、什么都难不倒的女记者,就是搞不定Spencer Tracy。
单词中文意思及词性:sophisticated adj. 复杂的;精致的;久经世故的;富有经验的
介绍段落精简句型解析及推荐背诵句式:这个词还可以表示“精密”,比如某些科技。sophistication,名词,老辣;老练。
3. sophomoric [,sɔfə'mɔ:rik, -'mɔ-]
定义: overly impressed with one’s own knowledge, but in fact undereducated and immature
例句: The kids at summer camp played the usual sophomoric pranks—short-sheeted beds, salt in the sugar bowl, shaving cream on the light switch, water bucket balanced on the door.
例句语法结构:主谓宾
例句中文翻译:夏令营的孩子们像往常一样耍着不成熟的把戏——给床铺上个短的床单、把盐装进糖罐子里、把剃须膏抹在灯开关上,把水桶放门上等等。这个句子里的名词短语都被我翻译成了动词短语,由于中英文的差异,老外喜欢用名词,中国人喜欢用动词。特此注解。
单词中文意思及词性:sophomoric adj. 一知半解的
介绍段落精简句型解析及推荐背诵句式:这个词其实好记。看到moro了么,美剧里经常出现一个词叫moron(n. 傻瓜),因为moro这个词根表示“fool”,又wise又fool就理解成“一知半解”了。因为是形容词,这里变成了moric。为什么我突然想到了sophomore表示“大二学生”——嗯,因为刚大二,很多东西还一知半解。老外果然会玩。Sophomore has delusion of wisdom.
4. theosophy [θi'ɔsəfi]
定义: a set of teachings about God and the world based on mystical insights into their nature and workings.
例句: She experimented with a number of beliefs, starting with theosophy and ending with a variety of Hinduism.
例句语法结构:主谓宾,非谓语动词做伴随状语
例句中文翻译:她体验过好几种信仰,始于通神学,终于印度教。这里掌握动词短语❤️experiment with 体验;进行试验;试用。
单词中文意思及词性:theosophy n. 通神学
介绍段落精简句型解析及推荐背诵句式:宗教外行,感兴趣的同学自行google。
