Tutor說(shuō)我應(yīng)該放棄托福單詞，學(xué)些她覺(jué)得常用的。
的確，下面這5個(gè)詞中，有兩個(gè)在托福詞匯中，3個(gè)不在。
這幾個(gè)單詞都跟目前的疫情和選舉等大環(huán)境相關(guān)，使用頻率非常高。
rig
Tutor說(shuō)，她要to vote in person, because she thinks the election is might be rigged, mail-in voting is rigged.
rig是操縱的意思。
When you rig something, you connect parts in a way that's so crazy it just might work. You could rig your jeans by using a paper clip to replace a button that pops.
Rig can also describe deceiving people to achieve a certain outcome. Voting multiple times, purposely miscounting the number of votes a person received, even throwing out certain people's votes: these are all ways to rig an election. Outraged people say, "The election was fixed!" This doesn't mean it was repaired; it means it was rigged -- fraud played a role in the outcome.
Rig可以用來(lái)描述欺騙人們達(dá)到特定目標(biāo)的行為。投票很多次，故意記錯(cuò)數(shù)，甚至扔掉一些票——這就是rig an election也就是操縱選舉的各種方法。
deceive v. 欺騙
outrage n. vt. 憤怒，分開(kāi)，暴行，侮辱
antibody?
antibody就是抗體啦~ 總統(tǒng)全家現(xiàn)在都有抗體了~
An antibody is a protein made by the body that latches onto foreign bacteria and viruses to make them ineffective. Each antibody is designed to target a particular opponent.
A powerful part of the body's immune system, an antibody is produced when the body senses an invader -- called an antigen that it doesn't think should be there. The body then sends out the antibody to neutralize it. Don't think of an antibody as being anti or "against" your body; think of the body in the word antibody as the antigen, or foreign body that is being fought. Known antibodies have been especially useful in the creation of vaccines.
opponent n. adj. 對(duì)手，反對(duì)者，對(duì)立的
quarantine
n. v. 檢疫隔離期，隔離，檢疫，檢疫區(qū)；對(duì)。。。進(jìn)行隔離檢疫
If you contract something highly infectious, such as pinkeye, please quarantine yourself so that you don't infect others with it. This means you'll have to say in isolation and avoid contact with other people.
Starting in the 16th century, a quarantine lasted specifically 40 days. The word is in fact derived from the Latin quadraginta, which means "forty". Originally, this referred to the amount of time a widow could remain in her deceased husband's house, then referred to the period of time a ship had to wait off a country's port if its passengers were disease-stricken. Now, it can mean a period of isolation of any length, and can be used as both a verb and a noun.
這個(gè)還蠻有意思的，說(shuō)這個(gè)詞的詞根是來(lái)自于拉丁語(yǔ)的quadraginta，是“四十”的意思。最開(kāi)始呢，這個(gè)quadraginta是說(shuō)一個(gè)寡婦要在她故去的丈夫的房子里呆40天，然后呢，就用在表示如果船上有傳染病患，那么要在港口停留的周期?，F(xiàn)在這個(gè)詞可以用在表示任何時(shí)長(zhǎng)的隔離中。
asymptomatic?
If you're asymptomatic, you don't show any signs of being sick. In some case, you can have a disease but still be asymptomatic.
When doctors talk about someone being asymptomatic, they are usually referring to a patient who has been exposed to an illness or is sick but doesn't have any symptoms. This is important in medicine because these asymptomatic people can often spread the illness, even though they don't appear to be sick. The a- prefix means "not," from the Latin ab, "away from."
adj. 無(wú)癥狀的
總統(tǒng)的小兒子就是無(wú)癥狀患者。
got infected with Covid?
這個(gè)就不解釋了，記下這個(gè)表達(dá)就好。
