英语词源系列复习素材知识点精析精练weird/Welsh weird adj.怪诞的，超自然的；奇怪的，奇异的n.命运，宿命 同义词queer;ghostly 起源 莎士比亚名剧《麦克白》(Macbeth)中，因为主人公麦克白用weird sisters来称呼他在荒野上遇见的三个女巫，而使weird被人们熟知。这里的weird并没有不敬之意，weird sisters原指神话中的三个女神，相当于希腊神话中的Fates和北欧神话中的Norns，而weird一词在古英语中写作wyrd，原本就是“命运”的意思。 weird原来是名词，经此一用变成了形容词，人们只要一想到“命运”，不免有种“宿命感”和“奇怪的”感觉，不过一般用于口语。 例句 1.She's a really weird girl. 她真是个古怪的女孩。 2.His weird clothes really kid me. 他的怪衣裳简直笑死人。 谷雨刷题王 速记英语单词方法 高中英语人教版电子课本 Welsh adj.威尔士的，威尔士人的威尔士语的n.威尔士人 起源 公元450年，盎格鲁撒克逊人(Anglo-Saxons)人入侵英伦诸岛，他们把那里的原住民凯尔特人(Celts)称作wealh，意思是“外国人”。 十五世纪后，该词演变成Wales，成为英国王子的封号，其形容词形式waelisc(外国的)演变为现在的Welsh，用来表示“威尔士的”，作名词时指“威尔士人”或“威尔士语”。 例句 1.His first language is Welsh. 他的母语是威尔士语。 2.Do you speak Welsh? 你说威尔士语吗？ 假如你是李华，你班本周日将举办植树活动，请给你班外教Jenny发一封邮件，邀请她参加。内容包括： 1．活动安排； 2．注意事项； 3．盼回复参与意向。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Jenny， I'm very glad to invite you to participate in the treeplanting activity this Sunday, which is organized by our class.
