1/16词汇记忆之词缀法英语的词汇构成和汉语有异曲同工之妙,一般说来,一个较长的单词是由////前缀+词根+后缀////构成的,词根一般是比较简单的单词,因此要快速的扩充词汇就要记住英语中重要前缀的含义,在此基础上可以使自己的词汇量快速扩展,并且对于阅读理解中猜测单词的含义非常重要,下面列出了英语中的常用前缀,以及由他们构成的单词举例,在我的单词课上我认为他们非常有用,现在和大家分享。1、常考前缀aero-:concerningtheairofaircraftplane—aeroplanespace—aerospaceanti-:against;oppositeofnuclear—antinuclearmatter—antimatterwar—antiwarauto-:oforbyoneselfbiography—autobiographycriticism—autocriticismbe-:totreatasthestatedthingfriend—befriendlittle—belittlebi-:two;twice;doublelingual—bilingualcycle—bicyclebio-:concerninglivingthings2/16chemistry—biochemistrysphere—biosphereby-,bye-:lessimportantproduce—by-produceway—bywaycenti-:hundredthpartgrade—centigrademeter—centimeterco-:together,withauthor—coauthorexist—coexistcol-:(usedbeforel)together,withlocation—collocationcom-:(usedbeforeb,m,p)together,withpassion—compassioncon-:together,withcentric—concentricfederation—confederationcontra-:oppositediction—contradictionnatural—contranaturalcor-:(usedbeforer)together,with3/16relate—correlaterespond—correspondcounter-:oppositeact—counteractattack—counterattackcross-:across;goingbetweenthestatedthingsandjoiningthemcountry—crosscountrybreed—crossbreedde-:showinganopposite;toremove;toreducecode—decodevalue—devaluedis-:not;theoppositeofadvantage—disadvantageagree—disagreehonest—dishonestem-:(usedbeforeb,m,p)tocausetobecomebody—embodypower—empoweren-:tocausetobecome;tomakedanger—endangerlarge—enlargeex-:former(andstillliving)4/16minister—ex-ministerwife—ex-wifeextra-:outside;beyondcurricular—extracurricularordinary—extraordinaryfore-:inadvance,before;inoratthefrontarm—forearmwarn—forewarnil-:(usedbeforel)notlegal—illegalliterate—illiterateim-:(usedbeforeb,m,p)notmoral—immoralpossible—impossiblein-:notdirect—indirectsensitive—insensitiveinfra-:belowinarange;beyondred—infraredstructure——infrastructureinter-:between;amongchange——interchange5/16national——internationalintra-:inside,within;intocity——intracitydepartment——intra-departmentir-:(usedbeforer)notregular——irregularresponsible——irresponsiblekilo-:thousandgram——kilogrammeter——kilometermacro-:large,esp.concerningawholesystemratherthanparticularpartsofeconomics——macroeconomicsstructure——macrostructuremal-:badorbadlyfunction——malfunctiontreat——maltreatmicro-:extremelysmallcomputer——microcomputerelectronics——microelectronicsmid-:middleday——midday6/16night——midnightmini-:small;shortbus——minibusskirt——miniskirtmis-:badorbadly;wrongorwronglyfortune——misfortuneunderstand——misunderstandmono-:one;singleplane——monoplanetone——monotonemulti-:morethanone;manypurpose——multipurposenational——multinationalnon-:notresident——non(-)residentsense——nonsenseout-:outside;beyondlive——outlivedoor——outdoorover-:toomuch;above;additionalhead——overheadtime——overtime7/16poly-:manycentric——polycentricsyllabic——polysyllabicpost-:laterthan;aftergraduate——postgraduatewar——postwarpre-:before;inadvancepay——prepaywar——prewarpro-:infavorof,supportingAmerica——pro-Americaabortion——pro-abortionre-:again;backtotheformerstateunite——reuniteuse——reuseself-:bymeansofoneselforitself;of,to,with,for,orinoneselforitselfemployed——self-employedtaught——self-taughtsemi-:half;partlycircle——semicirclefinal——semifinal8/16step-:notbybirthbutthroughaparentwhohasremarriedmother——stepmotherchildren——stepchildrensub-:under,below;lessimportant;partofthestatedbiggerwholedivide——subdividesection——subsectionsuper-:more,larger,greaterthanusualmarket——supermarketnatural——supernaturaltele-:atoroveralongdistance;byorfortelevisioncommunication——telecommunicationscreen——telescreentherm(o)-:concerningheatchemistry——thermochemistrymeter——thermometertrans-:across,onortotheothersideof;betweenAtlantic—transatlanticplant—transplanttri-:three;threetimesangular—triangularcycle—tricycle9/16ultra-:beyond;very,extremelymodern—ultramodernsound—ultrasoundun-:notcertain—uncertainfortunate—unfortunateunder-:toolittle;belowdevelop—underdevelopsea—underseauni-:one,singerform—uniformdirectional—unidirectionalvice-:nextintherank;belowchairman—vice-chairmanpresident—vice-president2.常考后缀(1)名词后缀-ability,-ibilityable—abilityflexible—flexibility-agepost—postageshort—shortage10/16-alarrive—arrivalrefuse—refusal-an,-ian,-arianlibrary—librarianmusic—musician-ance,-enceappear—appearancerefer—reference-ancy,-encyemerge—emergencyexpect—expectancy-ant,-entapply—applicantcorrespond—correspondent-cyaccurate—accuratcyprivate—privacy-domking—kingdomfree—freedom-ee11/16employ—employeeinterview—interviewee-er,-or,-arpaint—painterbeg—beggar-erybrave—braveryslave—slavery-eseChina—ChinaeseJapan—Japanese-essactor—actresswaiter—waitress-fulhand—handfulspoon—spoonful-hoodchild—childhoodman—manhood-icselectron—electronics12/16linguist—linguistics-ion,-ition,-ationcollect—collectionobserve—observation-ismMarx—Marxismsocialist—socialism-istpsychiatry—psychiatristviolin—violinist-ity,-tycruel—crueltypure—purity-mentmove—movementretire——retirement-nessdark——darknesshappy——happiness-ologyclimate——climatologyfuture——futurology13/16-shipfriend——friendshipscholar——scholarship-sion,-ssiondecide——de
