趣味單詞:aftermath

aftermath [ɑ:ft?m?θ]

the consequences of an event (especially a catastrophic event)

意思是「後果」。The aftermath of a car crash might include a broken fender, a

sprained rib, and a lecture from a police officer. The consequences of

an unpleasant event make up its aftermath.

單詞可以這麼記,after+math,然後聯想成是數學考試後的哀鴻遍野,始終忘記不了被數學支配的恐懼,以對各位童鞋造成的心靈創傷。

還有一個單詞polymath,a person of great and varied learning,博學的人。可以這麼記,分成兩部分,poly+math,poly近似看成play,即play math,能夠玩數學的人,都是博學者。

例句:The aftermath of the explosion was malodorous and chaotic.
