助記提示


1、ana- "up" + log- "count, reckon, that which is thought; ratio, proportion(引申義)" + -ous.
2、ana- "up" 表示向上、上面的一個(gè)參考,向它看齊,以它作為一個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
3、字面含義:count up, reckon up, the up level that something which is thought tend to parallel. => 也就向著、跟著、趨向上面的某個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、參考對(duì)象看齊,來進(jìn)行思考、計(jì)算、說話等;由此引申為:比喻、類比、類推、模擬、類似等含義。
4、其實(shí),該詞在原始的希臘語中表示:proportionate,也就是使其與上面的某個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、參考對(duì)象成比例;使其與上面的某個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、參考對(duì)象相稱或者均衡。后來,被借用到拉丁語中,其含義才變成了今天的含義。
