托福每日一詞：immense

immense從詞根上說是不能測量的意思,所以就是十分巨大。

在托福中對應(yīng)的單詞有g(shù)reat,huge,vast,

副詞形式immensely 是非常的意思,對應(yīng)的單詞是extremely。

這個單詞讓我覺得真是長著一個“大眾面”,覺得很多單詞和它相似,讓我想起一系列的單詞。

首先是令我想起commence（開始）,有趣的是畢業(yè)典禮居然是commencement,畢業(yè)才是人生的開始啊,真是有深意。

接著我又想起menace（威脅）,某位大佬說這個單詞是一個men在打牌時出了一張ace所以很有威脅。

最后我又想起imminent （即將到來）這個單詞。

哈哈,扯得真遠。
