说词解字:缩词截字 —— 超实用的clippings缩略词(网上最全)

这次,我们准备说说英文中的缩略词。

网络上关于这缩略词的文章很多,但是,绝大多数都是以下两种首字母缩略词的东西:

1. 第一种叫acronym,如UNESCO(联合国教科文组织),AIDS(艾滋病),POTUS(美国总统),FLOTUS(美国第一夫人)等,这些词的特点是可以当作一个单词来读。

2. 第二种叫initialism,如:WTO(世贸组织),VIP(重要人士),BBC(英国广播公司)等,这些词的特点是无法像acronym那样当成一个单词来念,而是将字母一个个读出。

既然这样词汇网上一抓一箩筐,再赘述也没啥意思啦。

今天我们来说说网上较少的另一类:clipping(截短词)。

因为这类词生活中频繁使用,但是单词太长,使用起来麻烦,于是,就将它们“截短”,如大家熟悉的TV(=television)(电视), phone(=telephone)(电话),ad(=advertisement)(广告),plane(=aeroplane )(飞机),photo(=photograph)(照片),

lab(=laboratory)等。
