英文單字(19)《plement 充滿 / gest 帶》


原本這個字只有「ple」表填充的動作,不過字尾通常都接「ment」,因此通常都直接使用「plement」來表示「充滿」。雖然這個字使用「ment」當字尾,不過有些衍生字還是可以當動詞用。


和「fer」一樣的意思。「帶」的意思非常抽象,可以簡單想像成:一樣事物被主動移動到另外一個地方。





complement 補足(v.)、補語(n.)

補足即把額外的東西和原有的東西方在一起讓它更完整;補語也是為了讓句子更完整。

complimentary 讚賞的、贈與的(adj.)

這個字和「complement」差異為「e」改為「i」的字。
The reviews of his least film have been highly complimentary.
He had complimentary tickets to take his wife to see the film.



supplement 補充(v.n.)、補品、補充物(n.)
