[讨论] 1个臭皮匠：LSAT 备考单词篇

swk

开场白：到了这个年纪，做事情惰性很大。越来越懒惰于查字典，背生词了，尤其有上下文作参考时。也跟打豆豆同学学习，开这么一个帖子， 督促自己记一些生词。 本来想在msn 或者gmail group 开，可是似乎那里不能编辑 （也许有，只是我不知道）， 这里很好，看得人多，写错了还会有人纠正。我会不定期贴我遇到的主观上认为好的生词或则随便拿出红宝书，全然不管gre 也好或者别的什么书，是否包含这些，我知道自己水平洼，网上我可以脸皮厚一点。我会瞎贴一气， 不就是单词么，偶尔也贴个例句什么的。有什么好玩的句子生词什么的，希望同学们也都贴出来分享。

害虫，枯萎，                蓄意破坏对别人来说神圣的或者重要的， 使流出，使发散，                 纠缠在一起，                  掠夺

很多我都不认识，自卑

用google file可以啊，不过需要建组加入你想加的成员，于是所有人就都有修改权限了

btw, 建议用barron 英文解释，比如castigation: punishment, severe criticism. 中文解释有的时候比较害人，而且如果做阅读的时候总是中英转换花的时间就比较多……

随便一说哈~说得不好不要见怪

加油

LSATLSAT

I know no words. So I look for them and get sth. cules for me to remember them.

castigate: to subject to severe punishment, reproof, or criticism/felony

lowbrow/ no taste

lame duck (I don't why)

digression /solitary

emancipation / free

patina, a surface appearance of something grown beautiful especially with age or use/ kind of antique ( Actually, I don't think this word will be key word influenting reading.)

认识一个以上的起码有我在垫底，勿自卑。其实，
                我也喜欢英英，
                以后除了个别以外，用英英，什么是barron 英文哪？我用mw (有词根） 和 collins cobuild （解释好，例句多，好）.

flout

probably from Middle English flouten to play the flute, from floute flute，
                

If you flout something such as a law, or an accepted way of behaving, you deliberately do not obey it or follow it.

Building regulations have been habitually flouted.

folly

foolish, from Anglo-French, from fol fool

It's sheer folly to build nuclear power station in a country that has dozens of earthquakes every year.

foreshadow (我常常误认这个词）

if something foreshadows an event or situation, it suggestes that it will happen.

The disppointing sales figures foreshadow more redundancies.

fray 英语意思很多，纤维或者绳索磨损脱落， （神经，脾气）等被惹怒，
                名词，争论。。。

The kind of living was beginning to fray her nerves.

is fraying at the edges, is fraying around the edges, means  that it has an uncertain or unsteady quality.

frigid,

extremely cold, difficult to become sexually aroused, very fromal and unfriendly.

 

最后，一句话，有人愿意不依赖字典翻译一下吗？

A truely great work of literature should place damands upon its readers, rather than divert them.

flout, 这个好玩，（ 吹箫）=  轻视，嘲笑，蔑视

最后，一句话，有人愿意不依赖字典翻译一下吗？

这里的关键是对divert 的理解。意思为， 取悦，娱乐。我来翻译一下吧， 只能做到信，达和雅就留给高人了。

真正优秀的文学应该引导读者而不是迎合他们。
