思维导图：
释义：
英英释义：something that helps to improve the effects of something bad or negative，注意antidote后面接的时负面或者糟糕的东西
“antidote” /'æntɪdot/ 的本意是“解毒药”，常被引申为表示“缓解作用”“有效手段”，和我们中文里的“一剂良药”完美对应。如果在写作中恰当使用 antidote，可以显示不凡的词汇水平。
例句：
我们常说的“何以解忧，唯有杜康”，说的是很多人认为只有酒才能消除忧虑。这时就可以用英文说：
Some people believe that alcohol can offer a quick antidote to depression.
米歇尔•奥巴马在回忆录 Becoming 中用到了 3 次 antidote，其中一处写到祖父（外号“Southside”）非常喜欢音乐时，她说：
Music seemed to be an antidote to his worries, a way to relax and crowd them out. When Southside had a payday for his carpentry work, he’d sometimes splurge and buy himself a new album.
“Music seemed to be an antidote to his worries”说的就是音乐可以解忧，缓解压力。我们可以根据这个意思用 antidote 造句，比如说音乐的功效时就可以说：
It seems that music serves as a powerful antidote to worries. Music provides the perfect antidote to loneliness and boredom.
🌱这里的替代用的很形象：Music seems .... It seems that music ...
经典工作效率提升指南 Getting Things Done 中，开篇也出现了 antidote：
This is the vaccination against day-to-day firefighting and an antidote for the imbalance many people bring upon themselves.
vaccination 是“疫苗”，在这里表示“预防措施”，antidote 是“解药”，在这里表示“矫正方法”。当我们想表示一个工具、方法的有效性时，就可以用到 vaccination 和 antidote 这类词汇。句子中的 firefighting 和 imbalance 写出了上班族的狼狈，vaccination 和 antidote 和它们一一对应，相比“a good way/method”这样的表达，它们更生动、灵活和恰当，建议直接把这段话背下来。
🌱 Eric在这儿种草了两本书： Becoming + Getting Things Done
搭配
1）effective, good, perfect, powerful 有效的/ 好的/ 绝好的/ 高效的矫正方法
2） act as, serve as 作为…的矫正方法；用作…的矫正方法

The resort offers the perfect antidote to the pressures of modern life. 这个旅游胜地是缓解现代生活压力的好地方。
