词根词缀法
va空;in里面。竹篮打水一场空,努力徒劳的。
扩展记忆:
字母V v - 象形山谷,交叉状,喻空
Vv大小写形状均象山谷(valley),同时又是交叉状,故比喻“空”之意。如vain(空虚的),表示人(a)住在家里(in)里面,觉得很空虚(vain)。又如civil(平民),原意是贵族认为平民就是那些只知道张口(c)喝水(i)吃饭的空壳(v)的人(l)。又如vacuum(真空)有三个表示空的字母v、u,u,m又表示“多”,表示“真的是多么空啊”!所以有“真空”的意思。
另外,victory(胜利),那是因为真正的胜利是是赤手空拳(v)的人(i)弯腰(c)拜神(t)获得的,最后的ory是名词后缀。
