构词法
概念引入:
Let's go out for a walk .我们到外面去散散步吧。
Did you book a seat on the plane? 你订好飞机座位了吗?
We will try our best to better our living conditions. 我们要尽力改善我们的生活状况。
The old in our village are living a happy life. 我们村的老年人过着幸福的生活。
上述四个句子看似没有什么特殊之处,也没有什么联系。但是我们一一细看,就会发现句子中的小词似乎有点特殊。如:
句1中的walk,一般是动词,但是在此句中前面有不定冠词a修饰,作介词for的宾语,变成了名词;句2的book是一般是名词,这里却作了谓语,变成了动词;句3中的better本来是形容词,却也接了宾语,成为动词不定式;而句4竟然old是形容词当名词用了。这就是我们本单元要学的“构词法”中的一种——转化法。
下面内容中把简单的词汇的汉语意思略去。
