英文裡的複合詞

英文裡的複合詞(compound word)太常見了,常見到我們幾乎都忘了它們的存在。

兩個或兩個以上的詞緊密結合,所構成的新詞就是複合詞,如blackboard(黑板),就是由black(黑)和board(板)結合而成;homemade(自製的),就是由home(家)和made(製造的)結合而成。

弔詭的是,有時候看似簡單,反而沒有想像中的簡單。

複合詞的寫法有三種,以「熱狗」的英文為例,可以連寫(hotdog),可以分開寫(hot dog),也可以加連字號(hot-dog)。三種寫法雖然都可以,不過近年來英文拼寫的趨勢傾向簡化,能省一格是一格。分開寫、加連字號都多了一個按鍵的工夫,也多佔了一格的空間,因此逐漸減少。複合詞連寫省時省力,節約空間,視覺上更有一個單位的完整感,這種作法逐漸受到母語人士的青睞。

討論複合詞時,我們經常會注意到詞類,這詞類包含複合詞整體的詞類,以及複合詞內部個別成分的詞類。基本上,複合詞幾乎涵蓋所有的詞類,如名詞(handbag手提包)、形容詞(homesick想家的)、動詞(dry-clean乾洗)、副詞(sometimes有時候)、代名詞(everyone每個人)、連接詞(whenever每當)。這其中,名詞、形容詞的複合詞遠較其他詞類來得常見,名詞的複合詞更是重中之重,大多數的複合詞都是名詞。

1. The Millionaire Next Door
♫《鄰家的百萬富翁》♫
This classic which was first published in 1996 and written by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko offers in-depth knowledge from the findings of the authors of how America's millionaires became rich in seven key steps. One of the high points discussed was the simple and strategic method of spending less than you earn. By doing this, you could avoid impulse buying and diversify your investments.

Robert T. Kiyosaki's book remains a stunner any day and anytime. It is a must read if you want to start crafting a path to wealth while you are young. In this book, Kiyosaki was able to bring the distinguishing factor or habits of his father, who was a highly educated man yet poor, and his other father who was a dropout but became a self-made multimillionaire. The focus follows what are termed the different “quadrants” of the different classes of people in society and how you can elevate yourself to the Investor quadrant which will make you super rich.

☃ So you slept terribly this week. No worries, you think to yourself: You'll make it up this weekend.
➥你這星期睡的很糟糕。不要擔心,你對自己說:你可以這週末彌補回來。
   
☃ But ignoring your alarm clock and waking up at noon on Saturday and Sunday could be a recipe for disaster — especially if you got up at the crack of dawn every day this week. That's at least according to several recent studies and one brand new one released Wednesday.
➥但是在週六和周日,忽略你的鬧鐘一覺睡到中午也許是災難性的行為,特別是如果你這星期每天都天剛亮就起床。這種說法是基於幾個最近的研究和一項週三發佈的新研究。
   
☃ The findings explore a fairly new concept that's been getting more attention recently called "social jetlag." The phenomenon works just like regular old jetlag, only it happens when our body clocks get thrown off by the gap between our weekend and weekday sleep schedules.
➥研究探尋了一個最近獲得更多關注的新概念“社交時差”。這種現象和舊的時差反應類似,只是它發生在我們的生理時鐘被工作日和週末睡覺時間的差距打亂時。
   
☃ Aside from simply cutting back on our shut-eye, social jetlag has been linked with some pretty unwelcome health effects, from poor mood and trouble paying attention to obesity and higher body mass index.
➥除了減少我們的睡眠時間,社交時差還伴隨著一些不好的健康影響,從情緒糟糕和難以集中精力,到肥胖和高體重指數。
   
☃ Luckily, there are ways to fix it. And the biggest one is baffling simple: Wake up at around the same time every day!
➥幸運的是,我們可以補救。最好的方式簡單粗暴:每天同一個時間起床!
   
☃ The newest study found even more connections between social jetlag and health, including lower levels of "good" HDL cholesterol and higher body mass index in people exposed to more social jetlag. These findings persisted even after the researchers accounted for outside factors like people's exercise and eating and drinking habits.
➥新研究還發現了更多社交時差和健康的關聯,包括社交時差更大的人有更低的對人體有好處的高密度脂蛋白膽固醇和更高的體重指數。這些發現在研究者去除了外部因素,比如人們的鍛煉和飲食習慣後,還仍然有效。
