詞源解說
- 1652年左右進入英語，直接源自法語的complexe，意為部件的組成；最初源自古典拉丁語的complexus（為complecti的過去分詞）：com (一起） + plectere (紡織），意為織在一起。
詞根記憶
- com + plex(重疊，交叉)→重疊交叉的→復合的；復雜的
- com(共同) + plex(重疊)→重疊交叉的→復雜的
- com(共同) + plex(重疊)→重疊交叉的→錯綜的
- com + plex(重疊，交叉)→重疊交叉的→復雜的
- com(一起) + plex(重疊，多)→重疊在一起的→復雜的
用法辨析
- complex用作形容詞的基本意思是“由許多部分組成的,復合的”,指某事物由許多相互關(guān)聯(lián)、相互作用的不同部分組成,引申可表示“復雜的,難懂的”,含有處理這種事物需認真研究并具備專業(yè)知識的意味。
- 在心理學上，complex解釋為“情結(jié)”的意思，例：inferiority complex (自卑情結(jié))，maternal complex (母性情結(jié)）。此處的complex是類名詞，因此在此之前的冠詞a或者an都不能省略。He was overawed by his friend's learning and had something like an inferiority complex. 他被他朋友的成績所震懾到了，因此產(chǎn)生了自卑的情結(jié)。
- She soon developed a maternal complex towards her sister's son. 她不久開始對她姐姐的兒子產(chǎn)生了母性的情結(jié)。
adj. (形容詞)
