CEMENT
1. 英英釋義：to make a relationship, idea etc stronger or more certain
例句：Collective goals can help?cement?solidarity.
2. 體會(huì)這個(gè)詞 （進(jìn)階篇）
“cement“作為名詞韵卤，表示“水泥”赴邻，作為動(dòng)詞可以表示“把...粘合”，常常被引申為表示“鞏固” “加強(qiáng)”泻骤。和同樣可以表示“鞏固” “加強(qiáng)”的表達(dá)來說诚卸，比如 “consolidate” “make something stronger”，cement 更富有畫面感。
比如共同的目標(biāo)可以讓一個(gè)群體更團(tuán)結(jié)：Collective goals can help cement solidarity.
cement 后常接表示“關(guān)系”的名詞纽什，比如 relationship, friendship, tie, bond, connection 等詞。比如躲叼，相似的價(jià)值觀和閱歷可以加強(qiáng)關(guān)系：?Shared values and experiences can cement a bond.
cement 的這種用法也是《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》中的掣迨客，比如：Republicans won statehouses that Democrats had held for decades; in several competitive states they cemented their hold on power through gerrymandering.（'they?cemented?their hold on power through gerrymandering'表示“他們（民主黨）通過改劃選區(qū)加強(qiáng)了他們對(duì)權(quán)利的掌控”）押赊。
個(gè)人拓展：
加強(qiáng)連：cement, consolidate, reinforce
搭配：cement + solidarity /relationship /friendship /tie /bond /connection /hold /role
//cement one’s hold on sth. through sth. 通過A加強(qiáng)對(duì)B的掌控
The decision cements Hogan’s financial disadvantage in the race against Lt.?cement鞏固的可以是壞事
背句子：
Nothing cements a friendship between countries so much as trade.句型
Once a friendship is cemented it will last for life. 深厚的友誼地久天長
加強(qiáng)連：cement, consolidate, reinforce
