💡 深入解读
Intersperse 是一个与小站（微信公众号：田间小站）推送过的disperse同词根 spers, spars （散开）的单词，其中 intersperse 由前缀 inter- （在……中间）+词根 spers + e 构成。从词源上来看， intersperse 最早于16世纪60年代由拉丁语interspersus（散布的、散落的、撒落的）进入英语，用作动词表示“散布、散置”，主要指某个事物到处放置或者散布在其他事物之中或之间，常意味着无规律地混入
Peach trees were interspersed among the willows.在柳树中间错落有致地种有桃树。
Her handwritten notes were interspersed throughout the text.她的笔记散见于整篇课文中。
从这个概念出发， intersperse 还被用来引申指“点缀”，常用搭配 intersperse sth with sth ，侧重指间隔地用其他事物使一个或多个事物多样化。比如：晴间或有阵雨
sunshine interspersed with showers
a lawn interspersed with flower beds点缀着花坛的草坪
His accomplice occasionally interspersed his Arabic with French phrases.他的帮凶讲阿拉伯语时间或夹杂些法语短语。
