词根:ven/vent
词根释义:come
词根背景知识补充:举个例子,avenue这个词大家知道是“大道”的意思,比如第五大道the Fifth Avenue. 那么跟come有什么关系呢?来看释义:an avenue is a street, of originally an access road by which to “come toward” something.就是说穿过这个通道(avenue)可以“来到”某个地方。
1. advent ['ædvənt]
定义: a coming or arrival; a coming into use
例句: The advent of spring was always marked by the blue crocuses pushing up through the snow.
例句语法结构:主谓宾
例句中文翻译:蓝色藏红花破雪而出,预示着春天的到来。这表达够诗意吧~这里记住一个短语the advent of…was marked by… ……标志着……的出现
单词中文意思及词性:advent n.到来;出现
介绍段落精简句型解析及推荐背诵句式:ad-这个前缀的意思是“to/toward”,和词根vent拼在一起表示“到来”。所以咱们经常用的emerge可以换换了。来背句子:❤️[背诵]The advent of computer in the mid-20th century has promised to change our society profoundly.
20世纪中叶计算机的出现引起了社会的深刻变革。
2. provenance ['prɔvənəns]

介绍段落精简句型解析及推荐背诵句式:❤️[背诵]Some paintings have been lost without a trace, leaving their provenance a mystery.这个词常用来表示艺术品难以溯源。也常用做the provenance of an idea,点子的出处就更难找了不是么~
