3月17日TED-ed笔记(what is “normal” and what is “different”)

Mean 作vt 除了表示“意味着…,意思是…”, 也可以表示“打算…”或“使…具有某种目的”,用法和intend 一致。

I mean to be an actor a few years later.(I intend to be an actor a few years later.)

I mean the video I edited for this party to be a surprise.(I intend the video I edited for this party to be a surprise.)

变被动:

The video I edited for this party is meant(by me,可省略)to be a surprise. ( The video I edited for this party is intended (by me,可省略)to be a surprise.)

变分词:

The video meant to be a surprise for this party went viral on the internet. (The video intended to be a surprise for this party went viral on the internet.) 

Embodiment= a tangible or visible form of an idea, quality, or feeling,化身,可数

Joe seems to be a living embodiment of creativity and his wife a living embodiment of pure beauty.

hump= a rounded raised mass of earth or land,小丘,可数

Joe is sitting on a hump of cropped(crop可以作vt表示“剪短”)grass.

hew to=adhere to依附于…

Joe hews to nothing but his own observation when it comes to learning English.

flaw 作vt 可以表示“使…有缺陷”,因此flawed 可以表示“(被使)有缺陷的”

Some teachers’ judgement of naughty students is flawed as they don’t take those students’ growth into consideration.

correspond to和…相符

His rhetoric(虚夸的言辞,不可数)doesn’t correspond to his behavior.

famed= renowned,和renowned,wretched一样是由n+ed变成的adj
