Language Points
1.A printer prints books and newspapers. An inventor invents new things. A tourist visits places for pleasure.印刷工印刷书籍和报纸。发明家发明新事物。游客为了乐趣而游览各地。
这三个后缀加在动词或名词后,构成表示“人”的名词。
-er:最常用,通常直接加在动词后(如 teach → teacher);以不发音e结尾去e加-er(dance → dancer);重读闭音节双写末尾辅音加-er(win → winner)。
-or:多用于以-t, -te, -ct, -ss等结尾的动词后(invent → inventor; visit → visitor),部分词属于固定搭配需单独记忆(manager)。
-ist:常加在学科、艺术或乐器类名词后(piano → pianist; science → scientist; art → artist),注意拼写变化(science去e加-ist)。
2.win → winner; dance → dancer; piano → pianist; science → scientist
(获胜→获胜者;跳舞→舞者;钢琴→钢琴家;科学→科学家)
添加后缀并非总是直接拼接,需遵循三条核心拼写规则:
① 重读闭音节且末尾只有一个辅音字母时,双写该辅音再加后缀(win-n-er);
② 以不发音的e结尾时,先去掉e再加后缀(danc-er, scienc-ist);
③ 以-o结尾的乐器/学科词直接加-ist(pian-ist),但需注意个别例外。掌握这些规则是正确拼写派生词的关键。
