第三讲
学生:昨天在网上玩了一下auction,什么样的东西都有,有趣极了。auction 这一词的来源又是什么呢?
老师:现在互联网变得越来越方便了。auction来自表示“不断增加”之意的词根augere,拍卖中,价格不是不断的提高吗?动词augment 也来源于augere。值得一提的是,authority也来自同样的词根。
学生:权威跟不断增加,两者好像扯不上关系呀。
老师:表面上好像没什么关系,但试想想看,所谓权威是指在某个领域,有着许多独到的见解,领导者该领域发展的人们,这种情况下,不断增加的是指知识。学生:有道理,又学了一招!
同根关联词:
1.author:作家(由augere 的过去分词auctus 而来)
2.auxiliary:辅助的(augere增加——引申为加以帮助——辅助)
