💡 深入解读
Transcend 是一个与小站(微信公众号:田间小站)推送过的condescend同词根的单词。该词由前缀 trans- (越过、横过)+词根 scend (爬、攀)构成,14世纪中期经古法语transcendre(超越、超出)或者直接经拉丁语transcendere(爬过、越过、超越)进入英语后,也是用来表示“超越、超过、超出”,常作正式用语使用,主要指显著高于或超出经验、理性、信念等抽象概念的通常范围或界限,
比如:
The best films are those which transcend national or cultural barriers.最优秀的影片是那些超越了民族或文化障碍的影片。
A writer seasoned by experience will not write smug, sanctimonious rubbish. That's why his latest novel transcends anything he has ever written before.等到了15世纪初期后, transcend 开始进一步用来表示“胜过、优于”,主要指在属性、品质或影响力等方面超过某人、某个作品、某个成就等,比如:一个因阅历而变得成熟的作家不会去写自我陶醉、故作清高的垃圾作品。这就是为什么他的最新小说超越了他从前所写的任何作品。
