| 背面 |     释义： 1. whelm sth over sth. => overwhelm.2. 很多构成动词的over-xxx这种复合词，基本上可以认为或者很可能就是源于xxx over sth, xxx sth over sth这类xxx与over连用的短语或用法，而衍生、派生、导出的单一复合词，可以把这种现象看着语言的简化用法，或者基于此引申出新含义。3. 由于whelm本身含义为：淹没，覆盖，压倒；这里的over表示：above；由此表示压倒、覆盖在什么什么之上，直接引出对象。因此，这里的over不要把它简单地理解为加强，一方面太笼统、模糊，另一方面也不准确、也不怎么合适，还不利于区分whelm和overwhelm的区别。4. overwhelm的现在分词。5. overwhelming + -ly.adj. 早产的；不成熟的；比预期早的n. 早产儿；过早发生的事物 例句： 1. Accidents are still the number one cause of premature death for Americans.交通事故仍然是造成美国人过早死亡的头号因素。 premature 早熟的pre-,在前，早于，mature,成熟的。 premature (adj.)mid-15c., from Latin praematurus "early ripe" (as fruit), "too early, untimely," from prae "before" (see pre-) + maturus "ripe, timely" (see mature (v.)). Related: Prematurely; prematurity; prematuration. Premature ejaculation is attested from 1848; Latin euphemism ejaculatio praecox dates to 1891 in English but was used earlier in German and appears to have been, at first at least, the psychologist's term for it." |
