abstruse
义
abundant[
'b
nd
nt]adj.大量的,丰富的,充足的
源 ab-加强+-und溢出;波动 +-ant……的→(多得)溢出来。表示“丰富的”、“充裕的”或“大量的”,常用来描述数量或供应充足的事物。
巧记

例
abundant in富于;富有
abundant rainfall过量降雨
Oxygen is abundant in Earth's atmosphere.
地球上大气中氧含量丰富
There is abundant evidence to support his claim.
有充足的证据支持他的主张
辨lavish abundant affluent
三个词都有“丰富”之义。三者的词根分别是lav-冲洗, und-溢出。 flu-流动。“冲洗”比“溢出”,“流动”激烈,所以lavish,abundant,affluent丰富的程度依次减弱。 lavish非常浪费的,过分丰富的; affluent富裕的,富足的; abundant大量的,丰富的。另一个词ample(词根ampl-大)表示“大量的,充裕的”,谈不上丰富的。
