记忆方法
联想:做引擎的人就是工程师,而且是大牛工程师。可不是做一个小家具啥的这种木匠。
当然往小的内涵讲,可以理解为那些具有很多技能的人,要不然词义中有个:技师。
双解例句
小知识
An engineer is someone who possesses the knowledge or expertise to create and implement plans or build machines. Even if you're not an engineer, when you engineer you make plans and solve problems.
An interesting part of the word engineer is the suffix -eer, which turns a word into one that means someone who does something indicated by the base it is affixed to — a mountaineer climbs mountains, an auctioneer presides at auctions, an engineer designs, coming from the Old French engin, which means “skill or cleverness.” If you want to become an engineer, you'll have to study all kinds of mechanical systems, not just engines.
