  loom /lu:m/(v.隐约出现;织布机)可看作loo+m,loo即数字100,m即国际单位米,能织出100米长的布的织布机;另外布在织成以前是透明的,所以布后面的东西是可以隐约出现的。
  
  commercialize /kE5mE:FElaiz/(使商业化)即commercial+ize,commercial(商业的)←commerc(e)+ial,-ize动词后缀使……化。Good manners are the settled medium of social, as specie is of commercial life.礼貌是社会生活固定的中介,就像硬币之于商业生活。commercialism—doing well that which should not be done at all商业主义-把根本不该做的事做得很好。
  
  universalize /7ju:ni5vE:sElaiz/(使普遍化)即universal+ize,universal(宇宙的;普遍的)←univers(e)+al,-ize动词后缀使……化。Envy is the most universal passion.忌妒是最普遍的情感。universe—merely a fleeting idea in God's mind—a pretty uncomfortable thought, particularly if you're just made a down payment on a house宇宙-不过是上帝头脑里一个稍纵即逝的想法-一种让人很不舒服的想法,特别是在你刚预付过房子的定金之后。
  
  impoverish /im5pCvEriF/(使贫穷;使枯竭)←im加强前缀+pover词根+ish动词后缀;同根词:poverty /5pCvEti/(贫穷)←pover+ty名词后缀。
  
  prejudice /5predVudis/(偏见v.n.损害)即pre+jud+ice,pre-前缀在前,jud词根判断(=judge),-ice后缀,在弄清事实之前就做出判断→偏见,而偏见是会招致损害的。Prejudice is the child of ignorance.偏见是无知的产物。prejudice—①an unwillingness to be confused with facts②a device enabling you to form opinions without getting the facts偏见-①不愿为事实所困惑②使你能在不了解事实的情况下形成观点的一种装置。
  
  respect /ris5pekt/(v.n.尊敬)即re+spect,re-反复,spect词根看,反复看一个人是对其表示尊敬;with respect to关于。All the great religions are fundamentally equal. We must have innate respect for other religions as we have for our own.一切伟大的宗教在根本上都是等同的。我们对于其它宗教,必须像对自己的宗教一样怀着天然的敬意。To respect a person is not possible without knowing him.不了解一个人却要尊敬他,那是不可能的。respect—to admire from a distance尊敬-从远处赞赏。
