Question

23. cur [L]=

Accepted Answer

care 关心在常用词cure，curious，accurate，secure 中含有词根cur，它来自拉丁名词cura，意思相当于care（关心，注意）。这个词根与刚刚介绍的意为to run（跑）的词根cur(r)形态相同。但是，在实际构词中，两者除了含义不同，发音与形状也不一样。举例来说，词根cur(r)在recur，current，curriculum 等派生词中，或者出现在重读尾音节，发[k?:]的音，或以curr 的形式添加后缀，发[kɑ:]或[k?]的音。现在要介绍的这个cur，一定要添加后缀构词，发音总是[kj??]。cure [cur=care 关心；-e→“care for the sick 对病人的关心”→] I n. means of healing;remedy治疗；治法：Scientists are working on a cure for cancer. 科学家正在研究治疗癌症的方法。→Ⅱv. relieve the sickness;make well 治疗；治愈：The doctor cured him of bad cold.医生治好了他的重感冒。▽cureless [cure n.;-less a.] a.无法治疗的curable [cur(e) v.-able a.] a.可治疗的curative [cur(e) v.;-ative a.] a.治疗的curious [cur=care 关心，注意；-i-; -ous a.=causing 引起……的→“causing one's care 惹人注意的” →] a.① strange;surprising 奇怪的；新奇的：a curious idea 怪念头② eager tolearn;inquisitive 好奇的；爱打听的：Don't be too curious about what you are not supposed toknow.不要你知道的事，就不要多打听。▽curiosity [curio(u)s;-ity n.] n.新奇；好奇incurious [in-;curious a.] a.无好奇心的；没兴趣的accurate [ac- (ad-)=to 对；cur=care 关心，注意；-ate a.=having 有……的→“having much careto 对……极为注意的”→] a. exact;without error 精确的；准确的：The answer is accurate inevery detail.这个答案精确无误。▽accuracy [ac-;cur;-acy n.] n.精确；准确secure [se-=apart 离开；cur=care 关心；-e→“apart from the state of care 离开挂念状态的”→] I a. untroubled by danger or apprehension 无忧无虑的；安心的：She felt secure to her ownfuture.她对未来感到放心。② safe against attack 安全的：secure place 安全的地方→Ⅱv. causeor make safe 使安全：We must secure our supply line.我们必须保障运输线的安全。▽security [secur(e) a.;-ity n.] n.安全；保护securement [secure v.;-ment n.] n.把握；稳当性procure [pro-=for 为；cur=care 关心；-e→“to give one's care for 为……而关心”→] v. obtainby care or effort;acquire 获取；取得：He can procure a ticket for you.他会替你弄到一张票。▽procurable [procur(e);-able a.] a.可获得的procural [procur(e);-al n.] n.获得；取得curate [cur=care 关心；-ate n.=person 人→“person in charge of the care of others 负责关心他人者”→] n. person who assists a parish priest with the care of souls 副牧师（协助牧师关心人们灵魂的人）curator [cur=care 关心，照料；-ator (-ate +-or) n.=person who acts 做……者→] n.① manageror keeper 管理者② keeper or custodian of museum, library, etc.（博物馆、图书馆等）馆长▽curatorship [curator;-ship n.] n.管理者或馆长的职位或身份
