Synonymous

    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).       

    3. 怎样学会使用这个词?       

    1)复习“synonym”的用法;使用《牛津英语搭配词典》查“synonymous”,了解它作为形容词时的常用搭配。   

    2)翻译下面的句子:       

    说到圣诞节,人们常常会想到充满节日氛围的装饰、礼物和圣诞老人。   

    Christmas is synonymous with festival decorations ,gifts and Santa.

    (参考翻译:Christmas has always been synonymous with festive decorations, gifts, and  Santa Claus.)

    3)结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等,想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达。先简要描述这个场景,再造句。       

    努力是幸福的代名词。

    Hardworking is synonymous with happiness .
