subscribe

“Subscribe” 是一个英语动词,原义是订阅,如订阅杂志或新闻。它还可以表示同意,如表示对某种观点的订阅。

  1. “I subscribe to a daily newspaper to keep up with the news.”(我订阅了一份每日报纸,以了解新闻。)
  2. “She subscribes to the theory that breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”(她支持早餐是一天中最重要的一餐的观点。)
  3. “You can subscribe to our newsletter for free.”(你可以免费订阅我们的时事通讯。)

“Subscribe” 的词根是拉丁语 “sub-(在…下, 靠近)” 和 “scribere(写,镌刻)“,表示在下面写上你的名字(即签名)订阅某物的含义。

“Subscribe” 的词缀是”sub-” 和 “-scribe”。还有一些其它以”sub-”开头的单词,如subtotal,subset等;以”-scribe”为词根的词有describe,prescribe等。

“Subscribe”起源于拉丁词”subscribere”, 并在14世纪进入英语,最初的含义是“在底部写下”,而现在的订阅意义起源于17世纪,当人们开始冠名订阅书籍或期刊。

名词形式:Subscription(订阅)Subscribers(订阅者) 动词形式:Subscribing(正在订阅) Subscribed(已订阅) 形容词形式:Subscriptive(订阅的) 副词形式:Subscriptionally(通过订阅)

记忆这个单词的方法之一可以是将其拆分为词缀 “sub-” 和 “scribe”。你可以想象一个在你下面写东西的人,你需要让他订阅你的服务。
