1. 認(rèn)識這個詞（基礎(chǔ)篇）? ?

詞：synonym? ?

英英釋義：a word, name, or phrase that very strongly suggests a particular idea, quality, etc.? ?

例句：Wang Sicong has been a synonym for “fuerdai”, the rich second generation.? ?

2. 體會這個詞 （進階篇）? ?

“synonym”是“同義詞”的意思，不過它常常可以用來表示“xx的代名詞”，強調(diào)兩個事物之間聯(lián)系緊密。我們可以用 “synonym” 來描述一個人或事的流行程度。? ?

比如，我們現(xiàn)在常會稱一位運氣極佳的人為“活錦鯉”，許多網(wǎng)友稱支付寶錦鯉獲得者信小呆是“錦鯉本人”，想用英文表達(dá)這層意思，我們就可以用到 “synonym”：? ?

Weibo user Xin Xiaodai, the winner of Alipay’s lucky draw campaign, has become a synonym for “the luckiest fish”.（用這個例句主要是幫大家記住“synonym”這個詞，在這里意譯了“錦鯉”）? ?

注意，當(dāng)“synonym”表示這個意思時，后面的介詞常用 for。和 “synonym” 一樣可以表示“代名詞”意思的詞，常見的還有 “byword”，用法也一樣，我們可以放在一起記憶。? ?

比如一說起王思聰，我們就會把他和“富二代”掛上等號：? ?

Wang Sicong has been a synonym/byword for “fuerdai”, the rich second generation.

《經(jīng)濟學(xué)人》在報道硅谷時說硅谷一直都是創(chuàng)新的代名詞：? ?

Ever since Bill Hewlett and David Packard set up in a garage nearly 80 years ago, it has been a byword for innovation and ingenuity.? ?

這里用到了“A is a byword for B”，我們也可以把這里的 byword 用 synonym 替換：Silicon Valley has been a synonym for innovation and ingenuity.

基礎(chǔ)比較好的朋友們除了掌握 synonym 的用法外，還可以拓展學(xué)習(xí)一下它的形容詞 synonymous。

3. 從認(rèn)識到會用（作業(yè)）? ?

1）翻譯下面的句子：? ?

Muji has been a synonym for minimalist and sleek design.

無印良品是極簡主義和設(shè)計優(yōu)美的代表。? ?

（參考翻譯：Muji has been a synonym for minimalist and sleek design.）? ?

2）結(jié)合自己的生活、學(xué)習(xí)、工作、興趣等，想象在什么語境下會用到這個表達(dá)。先簡要描述這個場景，再造句。?

In his book Twilight of the Idols, the German philosopher and philologist Friedrich Nietzsche wrote:"What does not destroy me, makes me stronger." For Nietzsche, adversity has been a synonym for developed perseverance and willpower.
