1. handsome

为啥handsome表示“漂亮，帅气”？

据说，最早把这个词用来表示“男子漂亮，帅气”的是16世纪末期，英国诗人斯宾塞（Spenser）以及大文豪莎士比亚Shakespeare.

1）形容男人 A handsome man

2）也可以形容女士“健美”

If you say a woman is handsome, you mean she looks attractive in a strong healthy way.

Handsome is as handsome does.

How one acts is more important than how one looks.

An animal, object, or building that is handsome looks attractive in an impressive way.

3. explodev.

这个词为啥表示“爆炸”？explode这词竟然来自剧院？

explode的两个部分

ex=out出去

plode来自词根plaudere =clap the hands, applaud

Explode = “to drive an actor off the stage by making noise”

explode核心意思就是_____________________。【听记1】

到了18世纪后期，才慢慢演变为：“爆炸，爆发”的意思

to burst with destructive force

比如：In 1964, China successfully exploded its first atomic bomb.

引申：

China’s population exploded after 1949.

【explode = to increase suddenly and rapidly in number】

【China nearly doubled in population from 540 million in 1949 to 969 million in 1979.】

Jack told a joke which made us explode with laughter.

An explosion of laughter就是“一阵爆笑”

explosion n.爆炸，轰响

4. course

course 为啥表示“路线”？

基因：词根cours , curs表示“run”

1）船只/飞机运动路线，就是航线，

比如：The plane was on course.

The plane was 10 miles off course .

The plane changed course to avoid the storm.

2）河流“运动路线”的河道”

精彩用法：A has no rivals = A is without rival. = A is unrivalled.

造句：

有同学可能会问：rival和competitor都表示对手，有啥区别？
