Mutou English

Why is "wood" wood and "rub" brush?

English is also a pictograph, and many words contain stories and pictures, which explain the external appearance, internal function and formation process of things.

Many "English letters" express many pictures and processes of "action" realistically and freehand in their own forms, and string several "letters" together to tell a story and a thing.

Many "irrelevant" transactions are similar in appearance because the actions and the "picture sense" of the formation process are similar.

Today we are going to talk about why several things that have nothing to do with China people have the same surname (initials) in English, such as wood, wipe and weed.

First, we list the Chinese meanings of these words:

Wood [w? D] wood; Wood products;

Wipe [wa? P] v. wipe (clean); Rub; (disposable) wet wipes;

Weed ['weed] n.weeds; Weeds; Weeds; Weeds; Marijuana

Second, why "wood" is wood, rubbing is rubbing, and weeding is a weed?

1.wood "Password Painting":

W: reciprocating saw's action when sawing trees;

Oo: After the tree was sawed off, the annual rings were exposed.

That's true at work.

Summary: "Wood" is sawn from "trees". When logging trees, loggers use saws to cut trees into wood through "W-shaped reciprocating motion", and "O-shaped annual rings" can be found on its cross section. All this is achieved by "doing work".

2。 Wipe the "password painting":

W: reciprocating motion when "wiping" stains, like "W";

I: "punctate" or "linear" stains;

P: "people" stick figure;

E: I'm going in

Summary: Under what circumstances should we "wipe"? If there are "stains" on your body or utensils, you need to "wipe".

(1) The action of "wiping" is a reciprocating motion similar to W;

(2) Most of the "wiped" spots are "dot" or "line" spots, which are indicated by the letter "I";

(3) Who will wipe it? "person p" is also.

(4) Where did the "dirt" after wiping go? Turn into a "rag" or a rag.

3。 Weed "password painting"

W: Reciprocating action when weeding with hoe;

Ee: Eyes;

D: work.

Summary: "Weeding" is to get rid of weeds in the field through the reciprocating motion of "hoe".

In order to avoid accidental injury to crops, you must look at the hoe with your eyes. Cutting grass is also a kind of work.

Third, summary:

Wood, rub and weed are three unrelated words in Chinese, but they all have the same initials W in English code painting because they all contain reciprocating motion. And the letter "W" describes their "trajectory"-"reality" trajectory!
