motto

英语单词motto的含义是“座右铭”或者“箴言”。这是一个表达个人、团体、机构信念和理想的简明概括。

  1. My personal motto is “Live and let live.” (我的个人座右铭是”活着并让别人活着”。)
  2. The school’s motto is “Strive for Excellence.” (学校的校训是”追求卓越”。)
  3. “In God We Trust” is the motto of the United States. (“信任上帝” 是美国的国家格言。)

该词来源于拉丁文“muttum”,意思是“话语”或“词”。

Motto本身不包含词缀。

一开始,Motto本是表达个人精神口号或格言的意思。随着时间的推移,它也被广泛地用在组织和团体中,以表达他们的信仰,目标和价值观。

Motto作为不可数名词,没有复数形式。

通过将motto和”moral quote”关联起来,可以帮助记忆。

Tom had always lived by the motto, “Honesty is the best policy.” Little did he know, this would lead him to unprecedented success later in life. (Tom一直按照”诚实是上策”这一座右铭生活。他到现在还不知道,这将在他以后的生活中带领他获得前所未有的成功。)
