analogy
英 [ə'nælədʒɪ]
美 [ə'nælədʒi]
助記提示
1、ana- "up" + log- "count, reckon, that which is thought; ratio, proportion(引申義,此引申義的來源可以說就是受這個單詞的影響)" + -y.
2、ana- "up" 表示向上、上麵的一個參考,向它看齊,以它作為一個標準。
3、字麵含義:count up, reckon up, the up level that something which is thought tend to parallel. => 也就向著、跟著、趨向上麵的某個標準、參考對象看齊,來進行思考、計算、說話等;由此引申為:比喻、類比、類推、模擬、類似等含義。
4、其實,該詞在原始的希臘語中表示:proportionate,也就是使其與上麵的某個標準、參考對象成比例;使其與上麵的某個標準、參考對象相稱或者均衡。後來,被借用到拉丁語中,其含義才變成了今天的含義。
5、另解:ana- "upon, according to". => 根據、按照現在已經存在的、現有的東西(log-),來進行思考、計算、說話等;由此引申為:比喻、類比、類推、模擬、類似等含義。
6、用咱們中國話形象地形容就是:依葫蘆畫瓢。
