柯桥学习剑桥英语、解析Mate的含义

时隔两年之后,华为Mate系列又回来了。

9月6日,在华为Mate 50系列及全场景新品秋季发布会上,华为正式发布Mate 50系列手机,是全球首款支持北斗卫星消息的大众智能手机。 

为什么叫“mate”?

mate的含义:

n. 助手,大副;配偶;同事;配对物
例:Nibs and John were first and second mate.尼布斯和约翰是大副和二副。
例:He has found his ideal mate.他已经找到了理想的配偶。

vt. 使配对;使一致;结伴
vi. 交配;成配偶;紧密配合

例:One day the wretched cat came into my room with a moth in its mouth. I thought it had knocked over the cage but it was still there, surrounded by male hawkmoths who had come for miles to mate.
有一天我看到这讨厌的猫嘴里叼着一只蛾子进了我的屋,我以为它把笼子打翻了呢,但是没有,笼子好好的,外面围满了从几英里外赶来交配的雄天蛾。

工作中,手机就像是我们的mate
生活中,我们有roommate、soulmate...
Mate虽然没有friend的正式,但很容易拉进了人与人之间的距离,而且很有记忆点。
