SYNONYMOUS
1. 英英释义：alike in meaning or significance
例句：Las Vegas is synonymous with gambling.
2. 为什么选这个词？
我们之前学过名词“synonym”，今天我们要学习它的形容词形式“synonymous”。synonymous 的意思是“同义的”，常被用来表示“等同于…的”。
我们常用A is synonymous with B的句式表达“A 是 B 的代名词”“一说起 A，人们就会想到 B”。比如一说到拉斯维加斯，人们可能首先会想到赌博，这时我们就可以说：Las Vegas is synonymous with gambling.或者：Las Vegas and gambling are synonymous(with each other).
我们在学“synonym”时有这样一个例句：Wang Sicong has been a synonym/byword for “fuerdai”, the rich second generation. 这个句子也可以用 synonymous 来改写成：Wang Sicong’s name has been synonymous with “fuerdai”, the rich second generation.
《经济学人》在一篇讨论“孤独”的文章中也用到了 synonymous：Loneliness is not synonymous with social isolation (how often a person meets or speaks to friends and family) or with solitude (which implies a choice to be alone).
个人拓展：
If you say that one thing is synonymous with another, you mean that the two things are so closely connected in most people's minds that one suggests the other:
// be synonymous with something: Going grey is not necessarily synonymous with growing old.
搭配：seem/remain/ become/make sth completely/almost/ largely / more or less synonymous with
背诵：
Las Vegas is synonymous with gambling.
