 当高中生面对下列SAT生字考题时:

 

Sam was the ________________ of his grandfather’s generosity while at the convenience store because he got to eat an ice cream treat on the way home.


(A) beneficiary (B) benefactor (C) benediction (D) patron (E) sanction

 

 

 不妨用下列「bene字首法」解题

 

bene 这个拉丁字根均出现在字首,表示「good好;kind」的意义

 

 

beneficent  行善的 = bene-(good好) + fit (恰当的) + ent (形容词字尾)
beneficence  慈善、善行 = bene-(good好) + fit (恰当的) + ence (状态)
beneficiary  受益人、受惠者= bene-(good) + fic (to do) + iary (表示人的字尾)
benefactor  捐助者;恩人 = bene-(good) +factor (doer) = patron
benefaction  捐助;施惠 = bene-(good) +fact (to do) + ion (名词字尾)
benediction  祝福 = bene-(good) + dic (to say) + ion (名词字尾)

 

当学生熟悉bene拉丁字根就可以很轻松选出标准答案(A) 

 

 

 

 下面字汇题目含四个重要的拉丁字根:

 

 

Five months after the surgical procedure, the patient requested a stronger pain medication to help ______ the daily discomfort she felt in her shoulder.


(A) exonerate (B) alleviate (C) invigorate (D) perambulate (E) scrutinize

 

 

 

 1) 拉丁字根 ex 表示「out, outside 向外」的意义,出现在字首

 

exonerate  使免除(责任)= ex-(out向外) + oner-(burden负担) + ate(动词字尾)

= exempt
The defendant was exonerated from the accusation of crime.


 exempt  使免除(责任)= ex-(out向外) + empt (take拿)
The man was exempted from military service.

 

 

 2) al 是 ad 拉丁文介系词的变体,缀于l之前加强意思,表示「使…;做…」的意思;字根 lev, lieve 源自拉丁文 levare,表示「raise提高举起;lighten 变轻」的意思

 

 alleviate  减轻,解除= al-(toward表方向) + levi-(lighten变轻) + ate (动词字尾)

= relieve
What should the patient do to alleviate his pain?


 relieve  减轻,解除= re
-(again再) + lieve-(lighten变轻) 

The patient needs some medicine to relieve his headache.

 

 

 3) imin 来自拉丁文的介系词 in,有「in, within 进入;upon 在上」的意思;字根 vig, viv 源自拉丁文名词 vigor「精力;体力

 

 invigorate  使充满生气与活力= in-(within进入) + vigor-(vig精力;体力)+ ate (动词字尾)
The lotion can invigorate the dry skin.


 revive  重振,复苏,复活= re-(again) + viv-(vig精力;体力) + e
Our hopes revived.

 

 

 4) per- = through, thoroughly, away

perambulate  巡行;巡回;漫步= per-(through穿过) + ambul-(to walk步行) + ate (动词字尾) =walk around or along a place without hurrying

 

 

当学生熟悉以上四组拉丁字根就可以很轻松选出标准答案(B)
