很多《暮光之城》的粉絲們應該迫不及待的想看克莉絲汀·史都華飾演的白雪公主吧。
今天就用這部片的對話介紹一個很好用的字彙衍生法。
形容詞可以透過一個很簡單的方法變成動詞。
只要在形容詞的字尾加上 en,就行成了有「變...」或 「...化」意思的動詞。
不是所有的形容詞都能這樣變化,不過也是能一次多學到很多個字的。
以下一起來看一些常見的例子...
1. Awake = 醒著的、清醒的
--> Awaken = 喚醒、使覺醒
2. Black = 黑色的、黑暗的
--> Blacken = 變黑、變暗
e.g. She blackened her face with coal.
3. Bright = 明亮的、鮮亮的、歡快的
--> Brighten = 使明亮、使生輝、使快樂
e.g. Your flowers brighten the room.
4. Damp = 潮濕的、消沈的
--> Dampen = 弄濕、使消沈
e.g. The rain dampened our spirits.
5. Deaf = 聾的
--> Deafen = 使聾、把...震聾
6. Flat = 平的、平坦的
--> Flatten = 使平坦、弄平
7. Hard = 硬的、堅固的
--> Harden = 使變硬、使變堅固
e.g. Wait for the clay to harden.
8. Loose = 鬆的、鬆開的、散放的
--> Loosen = 鬆開、解開、放鬆
e.g. It was just a joke. Loosen up.
9. Sad = 悲哀的、悲痛的
--> Sadden = 使悲傷、使難過
e.g. We were all saddened by the news.
10. Soft = 柔軟的、輕柔的

11. Sweet = 甜的
