hypocrisy这单词怎么记?

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

最简单的就是hypo+crisy,词源记法。你知道它的中文意思对不？
" behavior that does not agree with what someone claims to believe or feel"
hypo-是个前缀（prefix），它有“under; beneath; below”的意思，就是“在什么下面”或者“不够”;"-crisy"可以一直追溯到希腊词源krinein，有“to judge”"to decide"的意思，这个词hypocrisy在希腊词源意思有“在舞台上表演”的意思。
就记着表演、不够真实……伪善。

这里借用merriam-webster dictionary上面的例句来看看它用在什么语境里：
1.When his private letters were made public, they revealed his hypocrisy.
2.the hypocrisy of people who say one thing but do another

希望能帮到您理解。
