  • 英语词汇迅速发展的原因及构词特点

    蒋希蘅;刘凤霞;

    <正> 语言是社会生活的反映和表现形式,词汇是语言最敏感、最活跃的因素,社会生活的发展变化,必然伴随着语言和词汇的丰富和发展,加之国际间政治、经济、文化、科技的一体化日渐加强,各种语言之间相互借鉴和吸收,使语言和词汇更加丰富。当代英美等国社会生活变化纷繁,科学技术发展迅猛,英语日益成为世界性语言,其词汇的发展和更新换代更加迅速。莎士比亚时代记录的英语词汇约有十四万个,而1989年出版的《牛津英语词典》(The Oxford English Dictionary)第二版收录的词条就已高达六十一万六千五百个。二十世纪以来,特别是近五十年,英语中出现了大量的新词新义。根据《巴恩哈特词典伴侣》(The Barahart Dictionary Companion)杂志的统计,每年进入他们的计算机数据库的新词和新义达到1500-1600个。如今英语已成为世界上词汇量最大的语种。

  • 常见的英美语词汇拼写差异

    梁桂霞;

    <正> 虽然英国英语和美国英语都是来源于伊丽莎白一世时期,但美国英语在第一次世界大战后逐渐形成了其独有的特点。然而,我国的英语教学自1949年以来一直以英国标准英语为准。现在高校的英语老教师绝大部分接受的教育是以六十年代初期英国英语系统教育为主的,他们无论在语音、词汇拼写、语法、遣词和用语等方面都是英国英语式的。即使中年英语教师受到的英语教育也是混合型的。近十几年来,随着改革开放的深入实施,我国和其他国家一样,英语学习受到美国英语的强烈冲击。大批美籍教师和美国教材读物涌向中国,我国大批留学生、交流学者赴美学习研究,我国自己的英语广播(如

  • 否定的转移

    张萍;孙晓娥;

    <正> 《大学英语》精读第三册第三课有这样一个句子 I don’tteach because teaching is easy for me(我教学不是因为我觉得教学容易)。这个句子的主句是否定,从句是肯定,但其实际意义却相反,即主句是肯定,从句是否定,这种特异的语法现象称为否定的转移(transferred negation)。那么,在何种情况下才会出现否定的转移,它有没有一定的规律可循?下面,我们从几个方面加以说明。从语法的角度讲,否定的转移(亦称后移)的句子,常常是表示句子的主语所代表的人的一种推测、臆断、见解或想法。

  • 英语中无标记比较结构与汉译

    陆国飞;

    <正> 本文标题中英语无标记比较结构是指没有明显地带有诸如"as…as"、"-er 和-est"、或"more 和 most"等这些具有标记特征的比较句,它是指通过采用词汇手段而形成的比较。笔者拟从词类角度归纳如下,以供英语学习者参考。一、利用介词英语用介词来形成比较意义的句子极为常见。英语中的某些介词除含有一般意义外,还可以用来表示含蓄的比较意义。比如:above 和 over 两个介词都有"more than ","higher in rankthan"等意思,汉译为"比...高","高于…"。例如:1.A soldier should value honour above life.一个战士应把荣誉看得比生命还重。

  • 试谈英语中的分裂不定式

    毕为相;

    <正> 动词不定式包括不定式符号 to 和动词原形(infinitive)两部分。一般情况下,二者被认为是一个整体,即不定式符号 to不应与动词原形分开。但有时,在不定式符号 to 和动词原形之间被一个副词或其他词所分隔,这种不定式称为分裂不定式(split infinitive)。例如:I want you to clearly understand whatI’m telling.you.(我希望你清楚地理解我要告诉你的事。)作为一个规则,不定式不应被分隔。但是,有时把不定式分隔是为了吸引人们的注意、增强效果或避免引起歧义。尽管有些语法学家从文体学角度出发强烈反对,特别反对句中的一些后位副词

  • 英语习语趣谈

    邢驰鸿;

    <正> 1.Scapegoat 替罪羊——指代人受过的无辜者这则习语出自《圣经》。古代犹太教每年在赎罪日都由大祭司赎罪祭礼,杀公羊两头,把羊血洒在赎罪板上,以此为众人赎罪。最后,大祭司把双手按在第三头公羊的头上,历数大家的罪过,让公羊承担所有的罪过,然后把公羊逐人旷野,表示负罪之羊已经远去,大家的罪过也被带走。后世的人们就用scapegoat 来指代人受过的无辜者、替罪羊。其中 scapegoat 中的scape 相当于 escape,指逃跑、逃脱,scapegoat 指被大家逐人旷野而逃脱的那只羊。He was sentenced to death,but in fact,he was just a scapegoat.
