记忆方法
-spond,承诺,答复,引申词义责任。这个词根等同于spouse(由发音变化化法得来),而spouse是夫妻,配偶的意思。
但是spouse怎么记?你可以谐音:死抱死,夫妻要患难与共,死也要抱着一起死。
也可以用词源解释spouse:
古希腊商人在签订合同时总要倾酒于神坛以祭种灵(pour out a libation),此一做法人们谓之spendo。随后spendo一词转义为“签订合同(或协议)”,并由此衍生出拉丁词sponsus,意指“立约人”。古罗马有一习俗,行将结婚之男女双方的亲友聚在女方父亲家中签订婚约。婚约在拉丁文中作sponsaLia,订婚者男的就叫sponsus,女的则称sponsa曲意为“配偶”的英语spouse即由此而来睾另一英语单词sponsor(主办者,赞助者)亦源于此。
因此:spouse=spond,其实是一种夫妻之间相互的承诺和约定,引申为一种担当和责任。
所以responsible就是负有责任的,要承担责任的。
如果是responsable很难读吧~所以把i改成了a
-able楼楼前面说过咯~表示“可……的”
即可回应的。如果说你要求别人对你负责,他如果是可回应的,就说明他是“负责的”,引申为“可靠
的”。
adj.负责的,可靠的
搭配:be responsible for 对……负责
You should be responsible for her!你要对她负责!~
双解例句
小知识
If you're the responsible one, everyone is depending on you to take care of it. And, if things go poorly, it's all your fault.
Sounds like a drag to be responsible but really it is what we all want out of life. After all, when you're responsible, you get the keys to the car, you make your own decisions, and you get all the credit. Parents love the responsible babysitter who doesn't text with her friends and feed the kids bowls of ice cream. Of course, the boy who is responsible for bringing firecrackers to the football game will not be looked upon with the same level of respect. Responsibility can bring all the glory, but all the blame too.
