从美国总统就职演说讲起

奥巴马发表了就职演说,正式成为美国第一任黑人总统。 所以今天与大家分享的单词就是inaugural address (就职演说)和 inauguration ceremory (就职典礼)

An inauguration is a ceremony of formal investiture whereby an individual assumes an office or position of authority or power. The term is usually used in reference to a politician’s assumption of the duties of head of state or head of government (e.g. the President’s inauguration). An “inaugural address” is the presidential speech given at this ceremony.

—from wikipedia

-aug-作为词根,意思是“rise, grow, increase”上升、生长、增加等的意思,有时也拼写为-auc-, -auct-, -aut-。所谓就职,那就是rise to power, rise to presidency 吧.

我们来看看更多包含-aug-相关词根的例词。

auction 名词:拍卖(价格越拍越高)

auctioneer 名词:拍卖师(-eer表示人的名词后缀,比如pioneer, mountaineer, engineer)

augment 动词:增加 增大

angmentative 形容词:增加的,宏伟的

august 形容词:威严的(不断上升一直到伟大的程度)

augustine 男孩名字:奥古斯丁(大写首字母,就是奥古斯丁大帝)Augustine: one of the great fathers of the early Christian church; after a dramatic conversion to Christianity he became bishop of Hippo Regius in North Africa; St. Augustine emphasized man’s need for grace (354-430)

authority 名词:权威(也是上升到高高在上的人)

authortative形容词:权威的(-ive形容词后缀)

authorize 动词:授权(高高在上者给其他人授予权利)

address 这个单词也值得深入学习,作名词时表示“地址,讲演”,作动词时,意思是“称呼。。。”“给。。。做讲演”,“对付、处理”等。请看例句。

Don’t address me as “Colonel”, I’m only a major.

不要称呼我为“上校”,我只不过是少校。

His address gave umbrage to the authorities.
