(4) 副词转化为动词
有少数副词可以转化为动词。例如:
Murder will out.(谚语)恶事终必将败露。
(5)形容词转化为名词
表示颜色的形容词常可转化为名词(如下①);某些形容词如old, young, poor, rich, wounded, injured等与the连用,表示一类人,作主语时,谓语用复数(如下②)。例如:
①You should be dressed in black at the funeral.你在葬礼中应该穿黑色衣服。
②The old in our village are living a happy life.我们村的老年人过着幸福的生活。

television broadcast→telecast电视播送
smoke and fog→smog烟雾
helicopter airport→heliport直升机停机坪
六、首尾字母缩略法
首尾字母缩略法,即用单词首尾字母组成一个新词。读音主要有两种形式,即:各字母分别读音;作为一个单词读音。
very important person→VIP (读字母音)要人;大人物
television→TV (读字母音)电视
Testing of English as a Foreign Language→TOEFL托福

The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I'd been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt:"The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view "I shook my head stubbornly﹣and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.
"If you come by right now," the receptionist said,"the dentist will fit you in."

In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice﹣cold one.
When I told her my fears, she laughed and said ,"Don't worry. The dentist is very good."
"How long do I have to wait for him "I asked impatiently.
"Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork," the assistant said.
"The artwork "I was puzzled.
The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was ! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief!
