例如：philanthropist(慈善家)、anthropoid（类人的）、misanthropist（厌世者）、anthropology（人类学）这几个词中的词根anthropo-(人)就很容易辨认出来。词干（stem）：是未经词形变化的原词。

前缀（prefix）和后缀(suffix)：原是独立的词或词根，由于经常缀在别的词或词根的前后，辅助中心意义，渐渐就失去了独立的意义和形式，而成为附加的构词部分。

例如：co-(with)就是一个常见的前缀。通常把带有前后缀的新词叫做合成词，也有人把带有后缀的词叫做派生词。把一个词从一种词类转成另一种词类，可以用缀合法，如redadj.(红的)—toreddenv.（变红）；可以用改变词根的元音或辅音的办法，即元级派生法，如foodn.(食物)—tofeedv.（喂饭）；也可以原封不动，转成其他词类，如paleadj.(苍白的)——topalev.（脸变白），即转化法。

这里，我们先来看看“转化法”中名词转成动词的一些例子。Hefilmedthestory./Hereproducedthestoryonafilm.他把这篇小说拍成电影。

人身器官名称，用作动词，表示使用这种器官的动作。

例如：Heshoulderedhiswaythroughthecrowd.(他用肩膀从人群中挤过去)此外，如tocheek(厚着脸说)、tofinger(摸索)、tohandaperson（用手领着）等。

盛具或衣物的名称，用作动词，表示“盛”或者“装入”。

例如：Hepocketedhisbookandpen.(他把钢笔、本子装进衣袋子)以及tobottle(装瓶)、tocan(装罐)、tosack(装在袋里)。表示地点的名词用作动词也有类似用法：tocorner(逼在角落)、toisland(隔离)、tonursery(放在温室里)等等。除此之外，还有动词、副词、助动词等转化成名词的用法，我们来看一些例子：

Onanotherruntheyfailedtoseetheboat.他们第二次去的时候没有找到那只船。

insandouts(来龙去脉)backandforth(问答)amust(必不可少的事)manyifs（许多条件）

动词加副词转化为名词的例子也很多：Break-down(垮)、get-together(聚会)、set-back(挫折)、wash-out(废物)等。

另外，形容词有时候也可以转成名词，如：thegreens(青菜)、greatsillies(大蠢人)

下面，我们来学习一下“合成法（composition）”。

凡是由两个或两个以上的构词成分，合成一个词，而其中每个成分又可以独立为词的，叫做合成词（compounds）,而这种构词法，叫做合成法。比如：coal-mine(煤矿)、man-made(人造的)。

合成词的特有含义，不受词中各个成分连结方式的影响，它的写法由习惯而定，可以写在一起，如blackbird(画眉);可以用连词符号连接，如turn-coat(叛徒)；也可以分开写，如blacklist(黑名单)。注意，分开写的合成词，不仅仅在意义上，即使在形式上，也和词组有区别。比如blacksea里的black，不是独立的形容词，不能说veryblacksea。合成词各个成分之间关系千变万化，分类也有很多种，这里就合成词的词性，分类举例说明：

1.合成名词名词+名词：前面的名词说明后面的名词，中心意义由后面的名词表达，比如，同是book,可以有accountbook，hand-book，note-book等等。前面的名词可以表示人、物、性别、器具、地点、时间、比喻对象等等。如：eye-shot(视力范围)、buck-rabbit（公兔）、night-school(夜校)、baby-husband（小女婿）等等。

形容词+名词：这类词意义关系一目了然，有时候是实指，有时候是指物而拟人。如Blueprints(蓝图)，bighat（大人物）,double-face(两面派)等等。

动名词+名词：动名词表示行为或状态的改变，名词往往表示所用的器物，地名等等，如consulting-room（诊室），writing-desk（写字台）。

动词+名词：往往由短语动词变成，或者是转化与合成的结合，如pickpocket(扒手)，turn-coat(叛徒)等等。

名词+动名词：很普遍，有时甚至可以随意构造，如book-learning（书本知识），word-making(构词)等等。

前置词+名词：意义关系和“形容词+名词”类型相似：after-effects(后果)，by-product(副产品)等等。

另外，国名的组合，有时候用“拉丁语+英语”的方式，如Afro-AsianPeople'sConference(亚非会议)、Sino-JapaneseWar(中日战争)

SnakeRiverFalls

Youmaygetwetonthisride.合成形容词

形容词+名词：形容词和名词连用，原是短语，用做定语。固定下来，成为形容词，有的还只是nonce-words,也有合成名词作定语或转成形容词的情形：如full-timeworker（全职工）、long-rangegun(远程炮)等。

形容词+形容词：这类词不算多，前面的形容词大都进一步说明后面的形容词，如：light-blue(浅蓝)、dead-alive(半死不活)。

名词+过去分词：有被动意味，名词相当于前置词宾语，表示工具，行为者等，如:man-made(人造的)，moth-eaten(虫蛀的)。

名词+现在分词：有主动意味，名词大都相当于行为的宾语，如：English-speakingpeople(说英语的人)，peace-loving（热爱和平的）

形容词+现在分词：有主动意味，形容词相当于表语或者定语，如eager-seeming(样子急切)，easy-going（随和的）副词+分词：如half-baked(幼稚的)，far-seeing（有远见的）

副词+形容词：over-anxious(过急)，all-roundathlete(全能选手)

名词+形容词：名词大都作比喻的对象，如cock-sure(自恃)，paper-thin（薄如纸）

3.合成动词

合成动词大都是由“副词＋动词”组成的，这里“副词”多半表示动作的方向、程度等等。如：out表示超过tooutnumber（超过数目）toout-talk（压过别人的声音）；under表示不足、在下tounderdevelop（发育不全）tounderestimate（估计不足）tounderline（行下划线）等等。

4.叠声合成词

由同一个词重复，或稍加声音变化重叠而成。这类词往往是加重语气因而常带有感情色彩，比方，嘲讽。例：goody-goody（假殷勤）soso（不怎么样）wishwash（乏味的饮料）等等。

5.句式合成词整个句子当作一个词用，有的已经固定下来，例如pick-me-up（兴奋剂），what's-his-name（某某人）。整个句子用作形容词的现象比较普遍，把复杂的概念揉成单纯的限制语使行文紧凑。Alet-bygones-be-bygonesmanner（一种“过去的就算了吧”的态度）anif-you-would-only-be-guided-by-meexpression（一种“要是你肯听了我的话够多好”的神气）

我们接着来学习构词法中的第三类——“缀合法”，分前缀和后缀两部分来讲解。

前缀

有些词根或单词，由于经常放在别的词根或单词前面使用，经过长期的发展，失去了独立的作用，变成前缀。前缀具有一定含义，但不见得很明确。前缀缀在词上，可以改变、限制、或加强这个词的含义，而不改变其词类。一个词根或词，可以层层缀上好几个前缀，如in-com-pre-hen-si-ble-ness(不可理解)的词根是hen,pre-,com-都加强了其含义，而in-又把整个词义转为否定。凡由缀加前缀或后缀而成的词叫做派生词。

前缀的缀合，有时是连写，如extraordinary,有时用连词符号如extra-territorial,有时被词根吸收如ancestor(ante-cessor)。前缀既然有一定的意义，为了便于识别，下面就按照一样相近的前缀，分类说明。（前缀的来源一律以缩写字母注：[OE]古英语；[OF]古法语；[L]拉丁；[GK]希腊；[IT]意大利等）表示否定的前缀，这类前缀可以分为四种：（1）纯粹表示否定的，如a-,dis-,in-；（2）表示“错误”的，有mis-

；（3）表示“反动作”，如de-,un-

；

（4）表示“反对”的，有anti-,contra-

（1）纯粹表示否定的。

a-,an-[GK]能构成少数新词。加在名词、形容词上，表示没有“某种性质“。如:amoral[=unmoral]不道德的,asexual无性别的.a-在元音前变成an-如anonymous[onoma=name]匿名的

dis-[L]加在名词、形容词、动词上，表示否定。Disadvantage(劣势)、disagreement(不和)，disbelieve(不相信)

in-,il-(在字母l前)，im-(在字母m,b,p前)，ir(在字母r前)[L]常和音节较多的learnedwords(雅语)，尤其是拉丁，法语外来词结合，加在形容词或其派生词、副词上，表示否定。Inaccurate,illegible,impolite,irregular,inability,infinite,impious。

un-[OE]是最通用的前缀之一，可以用于大多数形容词及其派生副词、名词、表示否定，如unfailing,unfinished,undoubtedly,unheard-of等。

（2）表示“错误”的mis-多作重读，表示“wrongly，badly”。可以适当构造新词：

大多用于动词：tomisbehave（行为不当）misunderstand（误解）。

用于作形容词的分词：misbelieving（信仰不当），misleading（靠不住）。

用于动名词：misdealing（不正当手段）。

偶而，mis-也表示纯粹的否定词义：tomistrust。

（3）表示“反动作”。

de-表示“反动作”（toundotheaction）。能构造新词，多作重读。decontrol（取消控制），decolour（漂白）

dis-主要用于动词，表示“反动作”。disappear（不见）disarm（解除武装）disconnect（分离）un-表示“反动作”unmask（揭露）unsay（收回意见）

（4）表示“反对”。

anti-表示“反对，反面”anti-social（反社会的）antiseptic（防腐剂）anti-militarist（反军国主义者）

contra-表示“反对，相反”contradiction（矛盾）contrast（对比）contrary（相反的）counter-表示“against”counteract（还手）counterattack（反攻）

前缀大都表示空间，时间，逻辑上的关系，意思上有引申。

ab-apo-se-这几个前缀或多或少都有“away，off”的含义。

ab-a-abs-在p，m，v之前作a-，在c，t之前作abs-，不能构造新词，表示“away，apart，absence”，例如absent，avoid

se-表示“separation”（分离），例如segregate（隔离），sedition（反叛）

ante-，fore-pre-post-pro-这几个前缀都有“before”的意思。

ante-表示在...前，例ante-humous（死前），ante-room（前厅）

fore-表示时间，空间上的“在前面”，例forehead（前额），foregraound（前景），foretell（预言）

pre-表示事先，在前，例prehistory（史前），prepayment（预支）

post-表示时间空间上的在后。例posterity（后代），post-war（战后）

pro-表示“代替，利于，亲于”，例pro-chancellor（代大学校长），pro-consul（代理领事）

circum-peri-这两个前缀跟圆周有关。

circum-表示圆周，如circumference，circumlocution，circumpolar

peri-表示“round”，如perimeter（周长），perisphere（势力范围）IV.ClosingdownbysummarizingToendtheperiodletussummarizethemakingofcompoundwords.Therearethreeformsofcompoundwords:1.theclosedform,inwhichthewordsaremeldedtogether,suchasfirefly,secondhand,softball,childlike,crosstown,redhead,keyboard,makeup,notebook;thehyphenatedform,suchasdaughter-in-law,master-at-arms,over-the-counter,six-pack,six-year-old,mass-produced;andtheopenform,suchaspostoffice,realestate,middleclass,fullmoon,halfsister,attorneygeneral.3．AsamplelessonplanforUsingLanguage(FUTUROSCOPE—EXCITEMENTANDLEARNING)AimsTohelpstudentsreadthepassageUTUROSCOPE—EXCITEMENTANDLEARNINGTohelpstudentstousethelanguagebyreading,listening,speakingandwriting.ProceduresI.WarmingupReadaloudtowarmup:Let’swarmupbyreadingaloudtotherecordingofthetextUTUROSCOPE—EXCITEMENTANDLEARNINGPlaneCrazy
