句子+翻译
Opponents believe that children do not have self-awareness. 反对者认为小孩没有自我认知。
讲解
opponents 意思就是反对者,self-awareness,是一个名词,意思就是自我意识,awareness 这个词,本来就是指意识、认知,所以前面加一个 self,就是对自己的认知了。单词的形容词是 aware, self-aware, so if you are aware of yourself, you're self-aware. 一个自我认知很强的小孩,我们就可以说 a remarkably self-aware child.
发音
读这个单词的时候,我们可以连读,self,末尾的 f,/f/,可以和 aware 开头的 /ə/ 连读,所以不是 self aware,而是 self-aware ,名词也是一样,可以读成 self-awareness.
