拇指英语说,分享英语学习心得,技巧和方法。让英语学习变得更有趣,更简单。
在英语学习中,词汇量的大小是衡量英语水平的重要标志。通常词汇量越大,运用英语的能力就越强,反之亦然。许多英语偏弱的学生将词汇的学习与记忆比作“拦路虎”,以至谈虎色变,毫无信心。因此,有意识地学习词汇策略将可以帮助学生更科学,高效,简单地积累大量词汇,从而达到事半功倍的效果。本词汇积累策略系列,将会从近义词(synonyms),反义词(antonyms),前缀(prefixes),后缀(suffixes),同音异义词(homophones)等角度来探讨词汇的学习和积累。本系列,适合小学中高年级及初中学生学习。
后缀 (-ness)
一部分的形容词,在词尾加上后缀-ness就变成了名词。比如形容词 “foolish” (愚蠢的,傻的), 加上后缀-ness, 变成名词 “foolishness” (愚蠢,可笑)。
下面我们来看看以下这些形容词是如何加上后缀-ness 变成名词的。
- awesome (令人敬畏的) awesomeness (敬畏)
- foolish (愚蠢的,傻的) foolishness (愚蠢,可笑)
- shy (害羞的,畏缩的) shyness (羞怯)
- good (好的) goodness ((优良,善良)
- happy (幸福的,高兴的) happiness (幸福)
- sad (难过的,悲哀的) sadness (悲哀,悲伤)
- useful (有用的) usefulness (有用,有效性)
- weak (虚弱的) weakness (软弱,虚弱)
提醒: 类似happy 这样,以辅音加 “y”结尾的形容词,需要把字母”y” 变成 “i” 加 -ness。
