词根

"Threshold" 可以被拆分为 "thresh-" 和 "-old"。古英语中的 "thresh-" 代表 "threshing" 或 "separate grain from husks", 而 "-old" 的用法没有被明确定义。虽然我们不能从词根去理解 "threshold" 的含义,但通过了解历史和文化背景,我们可以理解为何 "threshold" 用于描述 "doorway"。

释义

n. 入口;门槛;开始;极限;临界值

例句

She felt as though she was on the threshold of a new life.

强化记忆

你可以尝试通过故事的方式记忆这个词,比如:你站在家里的门口(threshold),金色的阳光从门外洒进来,你即将跨出这个"门槛",踏上新的旅程,开始新的"起点"。在早期的社会中,人们会在家门口洒一些禾草来抵挡风沙和寒冷,为了防止禾草被踩扁或被风吹走,人们在门口设置了一个门槛(threshold)。这也是 "threshold" 的最早含义,即物理意义上的"门槛"。而当 "threshold" 被用于比喻情景时,则表达的是某种东西的"界限"或"起始点"的含义。
