ammunition
英 [æmjʊ'nɪʃ(ə)n]
美 [,æmju'nɪʃən]
- n. 弹药；军火
- vt. 装弹药于
- vi. 装弹药
助记提示
1、am- "这里可以理解为：to, 同ad-；其实并无实际意义，源于法语的错误拆分" + mun- "defend, fortify, protect" + -ition(复合后缀：-ite, -ion).
2、字面含义：a defending, fortification, protecting, defensive walls.
3、The mistake in the word perhaps was by influence of French a(d)monition "warning." The error was corrected in French (Modern French munition), but retained in English.
4. 音似“俺没有你神”——你有“弹药和军火？”——那俺没有你神。
