词源
- caterpillar(毛毛虫):毛发粗浓杂乱的猫英语单词caterpillar来自拉丁语catta pilosa,由catta(cat,猫)和pilosus(毛发粗浓杂乱的)组成,字面意思就是“毛发粗浓杂乱的猫”,中文被翻译为“毛毛虫”。它的后半截拼写受到中古英语单词piller(掠夺者)的影响,因为人们认为毛毛虫会吃掉树皮。除了表示“毛毛虫”外,caterpillar还可以表示履带车,因为它们外观相似。 caterpillar:['kætəpɪlə] n.毛毛虫;履带车adj.有履带的 pillage:['pɪlɪdʒ] n.掠夺,掠夺物v.掠夺,抢劫
- caterpillar毛毛虫发音释义:['kætəpɪlə] n.毛毛虫;履带车adj.有履带的 结构分析:caterpillar = cater(猫)+pillar(长毛的)→长毛的猫→毛毛虫 词源解释:cater←拉丁语catta(猫);pillar←拉丁语pilosus(长毛的、多毛的) caterpillar的原意是“长毛的猫”,因为中文被翻译为“毛毛虫”。它的后半截拼写受到中古英语piller(掠夺者)的影响,因为人们认为毛毛虫会吃掉树皮。除了表示“毛毛虫”外,caterpillar还可以表示履带车,因为它们外观相似。 助记窍门:caterpillar =cater(提供食物)+pillar(柱子)→柱子为毛毛虫提供食物→毛毛虫
