analogy
英 [?'n?l?d??]
美 [?'n?l?d?i]
助記提示
1、ana- "up" + log- "count, reckon, that which is thought; ratio, proportion(引申義，此引申義的來(lái)源可以說就是受這個(gè)單詞的影響)" + -y.
2、ana- "up" 表示向上、上面的一個(gè)參考，向它看齊，以它作為一個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
3、字面含義：count up, reckon up, the up level that something which is thought tend to parallel. => 也就向著、跟著、趨向上面的某個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、參考對(duì)象看齊，來(lái)進(jìn)行思考、計(jì)算、說話等；由此引申為：比喻、類比、類推、模擬、類似等含義。
4、其實(shí)，該詞在原始的希臘語(yǔ)中表示：proportionate，也就是使其與上面的某個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、參考對(duì)象成比例；使其與上面的某個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、參考對(duì)象相稱或者均衡。后來(lái)，被借用到拉丁語(yǔ)中，其含義才變成了今天的含義。
5、另解：ana- "upon, according to". => 根據(jù)、按照現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)存在的、現(xiàn)有的東西(log-)，來(lái)進(jìn)行思考、計(jì)算、說話等；由此引申為：比喻、類比、類推、模擬、類似等含義。
6、用咱們中國(guó)話形象地形容就是：依葫蘆畫瓢。
