GRE词根soph
智慧有关的词根 soph-
来自:沪江部落【通过词源记单词】第八章 人文问思:与智慧有关的词根

词根soph-来源于希腊文sophos一词,表示智慧,聪明(wisdom之意。众所周知,哲学(philosophy)就是爱智慧,因为这个单词就是由词根philo-(爱)和词根soph-(智慧)组成,表达了the love of wisedom的内涵。而在古希腊,哲学家通常被称为sophoi,相当于英文中的sophist或者wiseman(哲人)。另外,单词sophomore可以看做
pan>sopho(智慧)和more(更多)的组合,意思是比一年级新生(freshman)聪明一点的人,所以它就是大二学生了。不过,他们相对于高年级的学生来说,又是菜鸟了,因此其形容词形式sophomoric就是一知半解的;肤浅的含义。这也印证了那句流行语:大一时,不知道自己不知道;大二时,知道自己不知道;大三时,不知道自己知道;大四时,知道自己都知道。精辟的话语,道尽青春愁滋味啊。
