Hi everybody, and welcome back to EnglishClass101.com's Youtube channel.

大家好，歡迎回到英語課件101網。 Youtube頻道。

My name is Alisha, and today I'm going to talk about some common prefixes in English.

我的名字是阿麗莎，今天我要去 談談英語中一些常見的前綴。

So common prefixes refer to these few prefixes I chose for today's lesson.

所以常見的前綴指的就是這幾個前綴。 今天的課我選擇了。

If you don't know though, I included a definition of the word prefix here.

如果你不知道的話，我給你下了一個定義。 的詞前綴在這裡。

So a prefix means letters added to the beginning of a word to change the meaning of a word.

所以前綴的意思是在開頭加上字母 的一個詞，以改變一個詞的意思。

So a prefix is usually maybe one, two, three, or four letters, kind of a short, you can

所以一個前綴通常可能是一、二、三。 或四個字母，有點短，你可以用

think of it like a smaller word, actually.

其實就像一個更小的詞一樣。

We add a prefix to the beginning of a word and it changes the meaning of the entire word.

我們在一個詞的開頭加一個前綴。 而且它改變了整個詞的意思。

So just by adding a short beginning to a word, you can actually create a different word with

所以只要在一個詞上加一個簡短的開頭。 其實你可以用

a different meaning.

不同的意義。

So today I want to introduce a few common prefixes that maybe you can use and maybe

所以今天小編要介紹幾個常見的 也許你可以使用的前綴，也許是

you have seen before, and I also want to talk about some of the ways to pronounce these.

你以前見過的，我也想談一談 關於這些的一些發音方式。

So let's get started!

那我們就開始吧!

Okay, the first prefix I want to talk about is re-, the prefix RE-, the meaning of re-

好吧，我想說的第一個前綴是什麼？ 是re，前綴RE-，re-的意思是：重新

as a prefix is, again, this is the nuance, so when we attach re- to the beginning of

作為前綴的是，這又是細微的差別。 所以當我們在

a word, it means that word plus again.

一個詞，它的意思是這個詞再加。

So let's look at a few examples of this, we have the word "redo" here, so the original

那麼，我們來看幾個例子，我們。 這裡有 "重做 "二字，所以原

word is "do" but I attached the prefix re- and it becomes "do again."

詞是 "做"，但我在前面加上了重新 而變成了 "再做一次"。

So redo a task, redo my homework.

所以重做任務，重做我的作業。

Redo a test, it means to do something again, redo.

重做測試，它的意思是重新做一件事。 重做。

The second example here is "replay."

這裡的第二個例子是 "重播"。

So you can see the base word here is "play," we use this word "replay" for sports, for

所以你可以看到這裡的基礎詞是 "玩" 我們用 "重播 "這個詞來形容體育，對於

a video, for something that we can watch or listen to, usually.

視頻，對於我們可以觀看的東西或 聽，通常。

So, for example, replay a video, replay a song, replay this YouTube content, for example.

所以，比如說，重播一個視頻，重播一個 歌曲，重播這個YouTube內容，例如。

So we use replay to play something again.

所以，我們用重播來再次播放一些東西。

Okay, the next word is "reunite."

好吧，下一個詞是 "重聚"。

So "unite" means come together, we use unite for when people come together, for example,

所以 "團結 "的意思是走到一起，我們用的是 "團結 例如，當人們聚集在一起時。

so this word reunite means to unite again.

所以這個reunite這個詞的意思是再次團結起來。

We use this word when we haven't seen someone for a long time and we get to see them one

當我們沒有看到某人的時候，我們就用這個詞。 長久以來，我們可以看到他們的一個。

more time.

更多的時間。

So, for example, I reunited with my classmates at a reunion party, or I'm excited to reunite

所以，比如說，我和我的同學們重逢了。 同學會上，或者說我很高興能重逢。

with my family next month.

與我的家人下個月。

We use reunite to come together, reunite means to unite again.

我們用的是團聚，團聚的意思是... 要再次團結起來。

Ok, the last example is "recapture."

好吧，最後一個例子是 "奪回"。

So "capture" is like to take something and keep it, to capture something, like, to capture

所以，"捕捉 "就像把一些東西和 保持它，捕捉一些東西，像，捕捉。

a flag, if you know that game, or to capture a person, may be in serious situations like

一面旗幟，如果你知道那場比賽，或捕獲 一個人，可能會有嚴重的情況，比如

wartime, but we also use capture to talk about emotions, so to capture a sad emotion, to

戰時，但我們也用抓捕來談論。 情緒，所以要捕捉到悲傷的情緒，以

capture a happy emotion, especially in movies or in songs, to capture an emotion is considered

喜氣洋洋 或在歌曲中，捕捉一種情感被認為是。

a skill.

一種技能。

So when we say recapture, for example, we could mean something recaptures in emotion,

所以，當我們說奪回的時候，例如，我們 可能意味著一些東西在情感上的再現。

like that movie really recaptured some memories of my childhood, or that song really recaptured

就像那部電影真的勾起了一些回憶 我的童年，或者說這首歌真的讓我想起了。

the feeling of the original composer.

原作曲家的感覺。

So re + capture means capture again.

所以，重新+捕捉的意思是再次捕捉。

so remember the prefix re- has the nuance, the meaning of, again.

所以記住前綴re--有細微的差別。 的意思，又。

You attach it to a word to mean that word plus again.

你把它附在一個詞上，表示那個詞的意思 再加上。

Ok, let's go to the next common prefix for today.

好吧，讓我們去下一個常見的前綴為 今天。

The next one is anti-.

下一個是反。

You might hear anti- or anti-, both are correct, it depends a little bit on the word and it

你可能會聽到反或反，都是正確的。 這有點取決於這個詞，它

depends a little bit on what your preferred style of pronunciation is, but you might hear

這要看你喜歡什麼 的發音風格，但你可能會聽到。

anti- or anti-.

反或反。

Let's look at a few examples and what it means.

我們來看幾個例子，以及它的含義。

So anti- or anti- means against, against something; so you'll see in a few examples, anti- or

所以反或反的意思是反對，反對某事。 所以你會看到在一些例子中，反或反的意思是

anti- means against something, to oppose something else.

反的意思是反對什麼，反對什麼 其他。

So let's look at the first example.

那麼我們來看第一個例子。

First, I have antifreeze.

首先，我有防凍液。

So the base word here is "freeze," and I have anti-, meaning against or opposing, so antifreeze

所以這裡的基詞是 "凍結"，我有。 防凍劑

is a product that we use for cars, for example, to prevent the machinery, to prevent the fluids

是我們用在汽車上的產品，比如說。 防止機械、防止液體的流動。

in the car from freezing and therefore becoming unable to move.

車內的物品，以免凍結，從而成為 動不了。

stops fluids from freezing, this is antifreeze.

阻止液體凍結，這是防凍液。

Okay, let's look at one more example, anti-aging.

So "aging" is our base here, aging is the process of getting older, the process of aging,

所以，"老齡化 "是我們這裡的基礎，老齡化是。 老去的過程，衰老的過程。

the process of getting higher and higher in the number of years we've been alive.

所以抗衰老是反對衰老，是反對 衰老；這就是抗衰老或

anti-aging.

Okay, the next word is anticlimactic.

好吧，下一個詞是反高潮。

So "climactic" here is the base word, so a climax, a climactic moment, for example, is

所以這裡的 "高潮 "是基礎詞，所以一個 高潮，高潮時刻，比如說，是指

the peak of a moment, like the peak level of excitement in a movie, for example.

巔峰之境 的興奮點，例如電影中。

The climax of a movie is the most exciting part of the movie or the most dramatic part

一部電影的高潮是最激動人心的。 重頭戲

of the movie, so a climactic moment is a very exciting moment, therefore when we look at

的電影，所以高潮時刻是一個非常的 激動人心的時刻，是以當我們看到

the word anticlimactic, anti- means against, so it's the opposite of climactic, it's not

反字，反的意思是反對。 所以它是相反的高潮，它是不

exciting, it's not dramatic, it's not important.

激動人心的，這不是戲劇性的，這不重要。

We might say that movie's climax was actually really anticlimactic, or I was really excited

我們可以說，電影的高潮其實是... ... 真的很矛盾，或者說我真的很興奮。

to do something this weekend but my plans fell through, it was really anticlimactic.

週末要做的事情，但我的計劃 落空了，真是逆天了。

So anticlimactic means not climactic or it's the opposite of climactic.

所以，反高潮的意思是不高潮，否則就是 與高潮相反的是。

Okay, one more example, antihistamine.

好，再舉一個例子，抗組胺。

Antihistamine.

抗組胺。

So "histamine" here is the base word, this is a word that's commonly found in allergy

所以這裡的 "組胺 "是基礎詞，這個。 是一個常見於過敏症的詞。

meaning of obey.

服從的意思。

However, disobey means not obey or the opposite of obey.
