每课一词：新概念英语第1册第73课
接下来我们继续来看第73课的“每课一词”：
Lesson 73 The way to King Street
Last week Mrs. Mills went to London. She does not know London very well, and she lost her way. Suddenly, she saw a man near a bus stop. “I can ask him the way.” she said to herself. “Excuse me,” she said. “Can you tell me the way to King Street please?” The man smiled pleasantly. He did not understand English! He spoke German. He was a tourist. Then he put his hand into his pocket, and took out a phrasebook. He opened the book and found a phrase. He read the phrase slowly. “I am sorry,” he said. “I do not speak English.”

二、每课一词
lose
【源】
直接源自古英语的losian，意为“失去，消失”；最初源自原始日耳曼语的lausa，意为“军队被打散”。
【音】
[luːz]
【义】
lose一般用作及物动词，表示“丢失；失败”。如：
I lost my wallet yesterday.我昨天丢了钱包。The team played well, but lost the game.这个球队打得不错，但还是输了这场比赛。
lose也可以用作不及物动词，表示“失败”。如：
Merely to maintain is to lose in the end.止步不前，终将遭到失败。
三、更多拓展
suddenly, pleasantly, slowly
英语中后缀-ly可以加在形容词后面，使该形容词变为副词，比如：
sudden（突然的）+ly=suddenly（突然地）pleasant（愉快的）+ly=pleasantly（愉快地）slow（慢慢的）+ly=slowly（慢慢地）
