初中英语前缀构词法(名词篇)
前缀 dis- 表示否定或相反:discovery, dishonesty, disbelief, disease, disorder, discomfort, disadvantage, disability, disagreement, disapproval, dislike
前缀 un- 表示否定:unrest, unhappiness, unemployment, unfairness, uncleanness
前缀 re- 表示再次或重新:recycle, reprint, replay, reuse, reunion, return, rebuild

前缀 over- 表示过度或在上方:overcoat, overtime, overhead, overpass, overseas, overwork, overdraft, overload, overpopulation, overcrowding, overconfidence, overreaction, overstatement
前缀 pre- 表示之前或预先:preview, prehistory, precaution, preschool, preheat
前缀 sub- 表示在…之下:subway, subtitle, submarine, suburb, subtotal
前缀 super- 表示超级:supermarket, superstar, superhero, superpower, superman
前缀 mini- 表示小型:minibus, miniskirt, minivan, minigolf, minibar
掌握这些前缀的含义,当你遇到一个新单词时,就可以通过前缀和词根猜出它的意思。例如,只要知道 agreement 是“同意”,就能推断 disagreement 是“不同意”;知道 view 是“视野/看法”,就能推断 preview 是“预先看”(预告/预习)。这是扩大词汇量最有效的方法之一。
