助记提示


1. 想一想金砖四国(bric => brick),到后来的金砖五国(brics => bricks),这个单词就太容易记住了。
2. 所谓金砖四国,即:brazil, russia, india, china, 由于这四国的首字母缩写刚好是brick这个单词的发音(bric),由于这几个国家是有巨大潜力的大型经济体,所以被称为“金砖四国”,后来还专门成立了“金砖国家组织”,再后来又扩展成了金砖五国,加入了南非(South Africa), 于是就变成了 bric 的复数形式 brics,也就是 bricks 的发音 , 2014年还专门成立了金砖国家开发银行,总部就在咱们中国上海。

英文词源


brick
brick: [15] For what is today such a common phenomenon, the word brick made a surprisingly late entry into the English language. But of course until the later Middle Ages, bricks were very little used in Britain. It was not until the mid-15th century that they were introduced by Flemish builders, and they appear to have brought the word, Middle Dutch bricke, with them. The ultimate source of the word is not clear, although some have tried to link it with break.
brick (n.)
early 15c., from Old French briche "brick," probably from a Germanic source akin to Middle Dutch bricke "a tile," literally "a broken piece," from the verbal root of break (v.). Meaning "a good, honest fellow" is from 1840, probably on notion of squareness (as in fair and square) though most extended senses of brick (and square) applied to persons in English are not meant to be complimentary. Brick wall in the figurative sense of "impenetrable barrier" is from 1886.
brick (v.)
"to wall up with bricks," 1640s, from brick (n.). Related: Bricked; bricking.
