📖 词根拆解

这个词来自法语,字面意思是‘拿走职位’或‘使无效’。前缀‘dis-’意思是‘拿走’或‘相反’,‘appoint’是‘任命’或‘安排’。合起来,原意是‘让你安排好的计划失效了’或‘没能按安排实现’,从而引申为‘让人失望’。

💡 联想技巧

谐音‘弟儿跑音特’。想象你弟弟答应在家庭聚会上表演唱歌,结果他‘跑音跑得特别厉害’,让全家人都‘失望’了。记住这个尴尬又好笑的画面,就能想起‘disappoint’。

📖 例句

I don't want to disappoint my parents by missing the concert after they bought the tickets. 🔊 我不想错过这场音乐会而让父母失望,毕竟他们已经买了票。

想象一下,在古罗马的家中,你为宴会精心安排了座位和菜单,期待着贵客的光临。然而,当门铃响起,门外空无一人--你最重要的客人‘爽约’了。这种精心准备却‘扑了个空’的感觉,正是‘disappoint’最初的戏剧冲突:你被‘从安排好的位置上拿走了’。这个瞬间的失落感,从‘计划落空’慢慢演变成了今天我们所说的‘情感上的失望’。
