1. 認(rèn)識(shí)這個(gè)詞(基礎(chǔ)篇)

2. 體會(huì)這個(gè)詞 (進(jìn)階篇)
“perfect”既可以作形容詞也可以作動(dòng)詞婆硬,作動(dòng)詞的意思是“使......完美、提高”,可以和 improve 同義替換捏境。略有不同的是煎谍,perfect 更能體現(xiàn)一個(gè)人的決心和持久力危彩,有精益求精瞳脓、匠人之心的意思缺亮。從 perfect 的動(dòng)詞意思也可以看得出悔政,它后面經(jīng)常會(huì)接 skill, technique 等詞晚吞。? ?
注意:perfect 作形容詞的讀音是/?p??f?kt/;作動(dòng)詞時(shí)谋国,它的讀音和重音都會(huì)發(fā)生變化槽地,讀成/p??f?kt/。? ?
