- run out of steam;
- are chips off the old block
【來(lái)源】20180407TE一篇關(guān)于TSMC（臺(tái)積電）的文章。
- Moore’s law is running out of steam.
- As Mr Chang prepares to leave, investors will hope Messrs Liu and Wei are chips off the old block.
【猜詞】
- run out of steam字面是run out of+steam困檩，即“用完+蒸汽”，結(jié)合句子語(yǔ)境，可能是“能量用完，缺乏后勁”之類的意思旁蔼。想起另一個(gè)詞組lose steam袜瞬，應(yīng)該近義。
- chips off the old block字面三個(gè)部分chips+off+the old block殃恒，即“碎片+離開(kāi)+老木塊”，基于第1個(gè)詞組猜詞說(shuō)“張忠謀那一套已經(jīng)乏力”辱揭，本句猜測(cè)是“投資人們希望兩位繼任者'離開(kāi)老木頭'离唐，能有自己的創(chuàng)新”。
【查字典】
- steam第三義項(xiàng): power that is produced by boiling water to make steam, in order to make things work or move
run out of steam: to no longer have the energy or the desire to continue doing something, especially because you are tired（猜詞正確） - chip第三義項(xiàng): a small piece of wood, stone, metal etc that has been broken off something
be a chip off the old block: to be very similar to your mother or father in appearance or character（猜詞錯(cuò)誤）
【拓展學(xué)習(xí)】
- In the currency market, the dollar’s rebound following the bullish comments on the U.S. economy from new Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday lost steam.
- This led some investors to sell S&P 500 call options, on the belief that the rally would lose steam.
- Dystopian fiction is inherently political, but it also gained steam because it was good entertainment, an escapist adventure into the frightening hypothetical consequences of human frailty.
- Which made sense-her father was Charles Banner, the man who had pioneered the study, and now here she was, a chip off the old block, a respected geologist at age twenty-seven with lots of official-sounding letters after her name.
小結(jié)：第1個(gè)詞組猜測(cè)基本正確问窃；第2個(gè)詞組猜測(cè)忽略了“木屑依然是木”（a chip is a small piece of wood, so how much difference can you expect between a chip and the old block?）亥鬓。猜詞是門(mén)手藝，猜錯(cuò)更多樂(lè)趣

abase [??be?s]
【解詞】
late 14c., "reduce in rank, etc.," from Old French abaissier "diminish, make lower in value or status; lower oneself" (12c.), literally "bend, lean down," from Vulgar Latin *ad bassiare "bring lower," from ad "to, toward" (see ad-) + Late Latin bassus "low, short" (see base (adj.)).
The form in English was altered 16c. by influence of base (adj.), making the word an exception to the rule that Old French verbs with stem -iss- enter English as -ish (comprehension might have played a role; earlier forms of abase often are identical with those of abash). Literal sense of "lower, depress" (late 15c.) is archaic or obsolete. Related: Abased; abasing.
【釋義】
verb. 使謙卑;使感到羞恥;使降低（地位又厉、身份等）;<古>降下
cause to feel shame
【字典例句】
A man who never respect others will abase hisself.
不尊重別人的人同時(shí)也自貶了身份九府。
A man who uses bad language will only abase himself.
說(shuō)臟話者只會(huì)自貶身分。
【造句】
I hope you can be more confident, rather than abasing yourself further.
【近義詞】
humiliate mortify chagrin humble
