每个词都有自己的含义。你可以在字典里搜索每个术语的定义。但你知道吗,你可以把两个词放在一起,有一个全新的含义?当然,对于这种情况,并不是所有的词都能放在一起。然而,许多已经被英语所接受。这些词被称为复合词。 当两个或多个单词组合在一起产生一个新单词时,就会形成复合词。这个新构造的单词有自己的含义,可以与基础单词相关,也可以不相关。一、开放式复合词(Open Compound Words)开放式复合词在书写时保持独立,但一起使用可以创造新的想法。例如,“peanut”和“butter”彼此无关。但是,当你将它们组合在一起并将其用作一个单词时,你会得到“peanut butter(花生酱)”,它已经是一个有自己含义的不同名词。二、闭合式复合词(Closed Compound Words)闭合式复合词是通过将两个完全独立的单词组合在一起而形成的,中间没有空格。一个闭合式复合词的例子是“grandfather”,其中“grand”和“father”放在一起。三、连字符复合词(Hyphenated Compound Words)复合词的另一种可能形式是连字符形式。从单词本身开始,使用的独立术语用连字符或破折号分隔。一个常见的例子是“mother-in-law(婆婆)”。复合名词只是充当名词的复合词。名词是人、动物、地方、事物或事件的名称。然而,这并不意味着组成它的两个词只能是名词。复合名词可以由形容词和名词、动词和名词等两个名词组合而成。复合动词也称为复合谓语。它是一个多词复合词,充当单个动词。它可以通过将动词和介词或动词和副词(短语动词)组合在一起来构建。跟在主动词后面的助动词也可以被认为是复合词。其他一些涉及动词和非动词单词的组合,如果表示动作,也可以被视为复合动词。六、复合形容词(Compound Adjectives)两个或两个以上作为一个词描述名词的词称为复合形容词。通常,它们用连字符分隔。ice cream, ice cream cake, ice cube, cream cheese, hot dog, corn dog, corned beef, apple pie, sugar plum, web page, table cloth, fire drill, fire drill, fire exit, high school, roller coaster, living room, first aid, full moon, tea cup, serving spoon, real estate, car pool, cotton bud, cotton ball, video game, coffee grain, coffee mug, post office, upper deck, hand towel, sweet tooth, common sense, dance hall, police officer, vice president, science fiction, root word, candy cane, christmas tree, cell membrane, jumping jack, report card, credit card, debit card, radio wave, snack house, coffee shop, bus stop, swimming pool, rubber band, ice hockey, ice skate, break up, take away, take out, break away, lift up, push down, pull down, ask out, ask around, make up, turn in, fill up, fill out, fill inbasketball, football, baseball, worldwide, overpass, southeast, northeast, northwest, southwest, bushfire, mailbox, snowball, skateboard, sailboat, birthday, blackboard, everything, anything, anyone, everyone, classmate, schoolmate, playmate, grandmother, grandfather, granddaughter, grandson, grasshopper, sunflower, sunrise, sunshine, moonlight, freelance, eyeball, eyebrow, eyelash, armpit, playground, teamwork, stoplight, flashlight, lighthouse, fireman, rainbow, raindrop, bedroom, popcorn, keyboard, notepad, keyhole, keystone, pothole, bowtie, necktie, brainwash, proofread, babysit, horseshoe, highlight, notebook, bookstore, lipstick, makeup, toothpaste, toothbrush, airbrush, crosswalk, crossroad, crossover, nightfall, riverbank, nutcracker, candlelight, backstroke, hamburger, cheeseburger, sandwich, homesick, uptown, rattlesnake, workplace, wrongdoing, springtime, underdog, strawberry, blueberry, watermelon, pineapple, cupcake,mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, sergeant-at-arms, merry-go-round, happy-go-lucky, editor-in-chief, over-the-counter, up-to-date, state-of-the-art, long-term, high-speed, left-handed, right-handed, in-depth, full-length, part-time, long-haired, sun-dried, breath-taking, self-centered, well-off, well-known, gift-wrap, follow-up, well-being, single-minded, knee-length, short-tempered, off-site, runner-up, one-sided, tip-off, blush-on, sugar-free, ice-cold, far-flung, high-rise, life-size, king-size, warm-blooded, cold-blooded, get-together, next-door
