35、ook overnight but didn treturn it for a week.And when I got it back,it was covered with coffee stains.Definition is the explanation of the meaning of a word or concept,and it is also a method of developing an essay.There are three basic ways to define a word or term A.To give a synonym For example:T
36、o mend is to repair.”Or“A fellow is a man or a boy.”B.To use a sentence(often with an attributive clause)For example,ink may be define in a sentence:“Ink is colored water which we use for writing.”C.To write a paragraph or even an essay But a synonymy or a sentence cannot give a satisfactory definit
37、ion of an abstract term whose meaning is complex.We have to write a paragraph or an essay with examples or negative examples(what the term does not mean),with analogies or comparisons,with classification or cause-effect analysis.1.First,we should avoid circular definitions.“Democracy is the democrat
38、ic process.”And“astronomer is one who studies astronomy”are circular definition.2.Second,we should avoid long lists of synonyms if the term to be defined is an abstract one.For example:By imagination,I mean the power to form mental images of objects,the power to form new ideas,the gift of employing
39、images in writing,and the tendency to attribute reality to unreal things,situations and states.欢迎下载 13 精品文库 (picking up words,expressions from a dictionary,in the hope that one will hit)3.Third,we should avoid loaded definition,Loaded definitions do not explain terms but make an immediate appeal for

42、 for others.On the other hand,connotation is the implied,suggested meaning of a word;it refers to the emotional response stimulated by associations the word carries with it.A.For Americans,Water gate is associated with a political scandal that means dishonesty.And more words are created with the suf
43、fix gate to mean some scandal in English now,thus,Iran Gate,Intelligence Gate B.Dogs,in Chinese culture,may be quite a negative image.It is insulting to call someone a dog.What about the western people?In their eyes,dog is lovely and has good associated meanings.They say“Love me,love my dog.”C.Imper
44、ialism means to us Chinese quite negative.Some of the western people may be proud of being imperial and imperialism itself.D.People everywhere may also share some connotations for some words.They are general connotations.Mother means love,care,selfless,etc.E.Lets get the gang together for a party to
