1. 認(rèn)識(shí)這個(gè)詞（基礎(chǔ)篇）
詞：spawn
英英釋義：if one thing spawns something else, it creates it
例句：The show has spawned countless internet memes.
2. 體會(huì)這個(gè)詞 （進(jìn)階篇）
“spawn”既是名詞也是動(dòng)詞蕉拢，作為名詞表示“（魚系谐、蛙等產(chǎn)下的)卵”驱闷，作為動(dòng)詞表示“產(chǎn)卵”域仇，也經(jīng)常被引申表示“產(chǎn)生“”引起“，是個(gè)非常常見的形象用法。根據(jù)英英釋義可以得知，spawn 經(jīng)巢韵ⅲ可以用來替換表示 create/cause/produce 等詞，這也是外刊中的常見用法壹置，我們通過幾個(gè)例子掌握 spawn竞思。
比如一個(gè)電視節(jié)目產(chǎn)生了許多“表情包”，就可以說：
The show has spawned countless internet memes.
一個(gè)人獲得了成功钞护，他的一些做法必然會(huì)引發(fā)他人效仿盖喷，這時(shí)就可以說：
His successful strategy is sure to spawn hordes of imitators.
最后我們看幾個(gè)《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》中用到 spawn 的例子：
1） Ignorance spawns scares.
2）But e-commerce has spawned new payment methods, such as digital wallets, and is changing constantly.
3）The diary has spawned countless adaptations, including a Broadway play, several films, a ballet and a musical.
4）The attack, claimed by a Pakistan-based terror group, spawned a surge of national emotion.
3. 從認(rèn)識(shí)到會(huì)用（作業(yè)）
1）翻譯下面的句子： 這本暢銷書被改編成了一部電影大片。
（參考翻譯：The bestseller spawned a blockbuster film.）
