在英文中有很多缩写或者缩略语，例如有些出现在网络用语或是短信用语中、有些缩写则是将政府机构的名称缩短。 英语里的缩略词大致分为三类： Abbreviation、Acronym和Initialism。让我们来看看缩写的区别，以及常用的缩写有哪些吧。 Any shortened form of a word is an abbreviation. 英文中所有缩略形式统称为abbreviation。 Jan = January 一月 Mon = Monday 星期一 adj. = adjective 形容词 Pop = popular 流行 etc. = etcetera 等等 Acronym is a special kind of abbreviation, which is formed by letters taken from a word or series of words, and can be pronounced as a new word. Acronym是一种特殊的缩略语，它的组成通常是由一个单词或者一系列单词中的首字母拼凑而来，并且可以被当做一个新的单词读出来的。 APEC = Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation 亚洲太平洋经济合作组织 AIDS = Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome 艾滋病 LED = Light Emitting Diode 发光二极管 NATO = North Atlantic Treaty Organization 北大西洋公约组织 LASER = Light Amplification Stimulated Emission Radiation 激光 SCUBA = self-contained underwater breathing apparatus 自给式学习呼吸器 RADAR = radio detection and ranging 雷达 Initialism is another type of abbreviation, it is made up of letters, but it cannot be pronounced as a new word. Initialism是另一种类型的缩略语，它们虽然是由字母组成的，但是不能被当做一个新单词读出来。 FYI = For your information 供参考 BTW = By the way 顺便提一下 OMG = Oh my god 我的天啊 JK = Just kidding 开玩笑的 LOL = Laugh out loud 大声的笑 ROFL = Rolling on Floor Laughing 笑倒在地上打滚 ASAP = As soon as possible 尽快 OTOH = On the other hand 另一方面 |
