關(guān)鍵詞3：sycophant

【釋義】A flatter, parasite, toady（馬屁精）, fawning（奉承的） follower, hanger-on（攀附權(quán)貴者）. 阿諛奉承的人
【書中例句/解析】

Sycophant is thought to come from a Greek word meaning to show figs. As the legend goes, the Athenians passed a law prohibiting the export of figs from their city. Like many laws, this one was rarely enforced, but 'there were always found mean fellows,' says Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, 'who, for their own private ends, impeached those who violated it; hence sycophant came to signify first a government toady, then a toady generally.'...

sycophant這個詞來自希臘語空厌，由sykon "fig（無花果）"+ phanein "to show"構(gòu)成庐船。意思是"to show figs"，這是個不雅的手勢（好奇的朋友自己去查）嘲更。據(jù)說古時的希臘通過一項法律醉鳖，禁止出口本城的無花果。當(dāng)然哮内，像很多其他的法律一樣盗棵，這個法律很多人把它當(dāng)空氣。不過北发，總有一些社會地位低下的人（mean fellows）纹因， 為了他們自己私人的利益（their own private ends），告發(fā)（impeach）了那些違反的人琳拨。因此sycophant一開始代表政府的toady（馬屁精）瞭恰。

...a dictator surrounded by sycophants, frightened to tell him what he may not like. 被一群不敢諫言的佞臣簇?fù)淼莫毑谜?/p>

【書中例句/解析】

In geometry, the word tangent refers to a line that touches a curve but does not intersect it. When you 'go off on a tangent' you make an abrupt change of course in what you are saying; you diverge, digress. Tangential may mean going off on a subject that is only slightly connected to the one under consideration..."

幾何里惊畏，tangent表示“切線”恶耽，所以不難理解跟其相關(guān)的tangential的意思，它可以表示“正切的”颜启，也可以表示“膚淺的”偷俭，“離題的、不相關(guān)的”缰盏。
