daddy-damage:唯有婴儿身心合一
【造词理据】拟声词。通常认为来自儿语 daddy 的韵律重复构词。
【例句】
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy. "
然而,第二天早上小女儿给她父亲带来了礼物:“爸爸,这是给你的。”
【同根词】dad papa
【造词理据】次要拟声词,源自PIE词根*agh-(闪耀shine),这里指阳光耀眼的光芒,闪耀的快速动作引起人们声音的联想。这里借指白天(时间单位)。-ly是后缀,i是插入音,起到连音字母的作用。
【例句】
According to the British "Daily Telegraph" reported on 6 July Icelandic experts said the eruption of a volcano ready.
据英国《每日电讯报》报道,冰岛专家7月6日称,该国一座火山随时准备喷发。
【同根词】adays; Bundestag; daily; daisy; dawn; day; holiday; Reichstag; today.
【造词理据】D表门,这里指拦截大水的水闸、河堤、大坝。至于为什么也用来指母兽,词源没有给出明确的说法。
【例句】
Several scientists, including at least one American, said then that there was no evidence that the dam had caused the drought.
而包括至少一位来自美国的几名科学家说没有直接证据表明是大坝造成了干旱。

【造词理据】PIE * dap(分配、献祭品)。D表门,引申指通过上帝之门与神沟通。原为宗教名词,献祭,词义引申至损失,伤害,或诅咒,可能体现了古人对神既敬畏又反感的复杂心理。-age是后缀。
【例句】
Doing so would not only invalidate the patent, it would expose the company and its brand to serious damage when revealed.
