Day 314 morning 2021

So I lived my life alone, without anyone that I could really talk to, until I had an accident with my plane in the Desert of Sahara, six years ago.

Something was broken in my engine.

And as I had with me neither a mechanic nor any passengers, I set myself to attempt the difficult repairs all alone.

mechanic:机械的,机械师,技工

词根词缀: -mechan- 机器 , 机械 + -ic 名词词尾

来自拉丁 mechanicus, 机械师,词源同 machine.

mechanic 与 machine 是同源词,但为啥拼写中 ch 的读音不同呢?

因为,虽然都是希腊词源,但 mechanic 是英语经由拉丁语借自希腊语, ch 的读音保留了/ k /音,但 machine 经由法语, ch 音腭音化为/ʃ/。
