Illustrated

“Illustrated” 是 “illustrate” 的过去式和过去分词,也可作形容词。表示用插图、图表或实例说明;书籍封面常见 “fully illustrated”(全彩插图版)。

  1. “The textbook is richly illustrated with diagrams.” (这本教材配有丰富的示意图。)
  2. “She illustrated her point with a real case study.” (她用真实案例阐明了观点。)
  3. “An illustrated guide helps beginners learn faster.” (一本插图指南能帮助初学者更快上手。)

“Illustrate” 来自拉丁语 “illustrare”,由 “in-”(进入)和 “lustrare”(照亮)组成,原义是“用光阐明”,后指用图例说明。

前缀 “il-” 为 “in-” 的变体;词根 “lustr” 与光亮、阐明相关;“-ated” 构成过去式/过去分词或形容词。

童书与杂志常标 “illustrated edition”;学术演讲里 “illustrated with examples” 强调举例说明。

  • 原形: illustrate
  • 现在分词: illustrating
  • 名词: illustration, illustrator
  • 固定搭配: “fully illustrated” (全插图), “illustrated book” (插图版书籍), “illustrated with” (用……说明)

“il-” 照亮 + “lustr” 像 light,用图把道理照亮——illustrate;已经配好图说明就是 illustrated。

“The speaker illustrated each step with screenshots so the audience could follow on their own laptops.” (演讲者用截图说明每一步,方便观众在自己的电脑上跟着操作。)
