如何记忆extraordinary
Day 321 morning 2021
extraordinary:不普通的,杰出的,特别的
extra-, 外面的,超过的
ordinary, 普通的
ordinary:普通的
词根 ordin 表“秩序”,本义指“遵从一般秩序的”。
不平凡之人一定不甘于被各种规矩、秩序所左右。
ordinary 最终和 order (秩序;命令)同源, order 先有“秩序”之义,再由“使遵守秩序”引申出“命令”之义。
So I lived my life alone, without anyone that I could really talk to, until I had an accident with my plane in the Desert of Sahara,
six years ago. Something was broken in my engine. And as I had with me neither a mechanic nor any passengers, I set myself
to attempt the difficult repairs all alone. It was a question of life or death for me, I had scarcely enough drinking water to last
a week.
The first night, then, I went to sleep on the sand, a thousand miles from any human habitation. I was more isolated than a
shipwrecked sailor on a raft in the middle of the ocean. Thus you can imagine my amazement, at sunrise, when I was
awakened by an odd little voice. It said:
“If you please—draw me a sheep?”
“What?”
“Draw me a sheep…”
I jumped to my feet, completely thunderstruck. I blinked my eyes hard.
I looked carefully all around me. And I saw a most extraordinary small person, who stood there examining me
with great seriousness.
