familiar/fəˈmɪliə(r)/adj. 熟悉的;常见的
一、单词记忆
这个单词的记忆其实很简单的,我们以前学过一个单词,family,名词,“家庭”的意思,然后ar是一个形容词后缀,比如我们以前过的popular,“流行的”,就是一个ar结尾的形容词。family这个单词是辅音字母l加y结尾的,所以要把字母y改为i然后再加上ar。familiar的含义是“熟悉的;常见的”,因为家里的人是你最熟悉的,也是最常见的。
二、单词用法
1.be/get familiar with:熟悉……
例句1:对于每年的新生第一课,Tom都会精心准备,希望可以帮助这些学生尽快熟悉新的学习方法。(上海高考翻译)
For the first lesson to new students every year, Tom will make careful preparations, hoping this can help students be familiar with the new learning method as soon as possible.
句子结构分析:hoping到结尾是现在分词短语做状语,并且这个状语中还有一个陈述句转化过来的宾语从句,从句引导词that被省略了。
例句2:奇怪的是,这些年轻人对这些我们都耳熟能详的歌曲却一无所知。(know)
Strangely, these young people know nothing about the songs (which/that) we are familiar with.
2.be familiar to:为……所熟悉
例句1:他的脸似乎蛮熟悉的,但我想不起在哪里见过他。(recall)
His face seems familiar to me, but I did not recall where I had seen him.
例句2:龙井茶不仅在国内享有盛誉,许多外国人也熟悉它。 (familiar)
Longjing tea not only enjoys a high reputation at home but is familiar to many foreigners.
