927　Compound Nouns 合成名詞

I was discussing compound nouns with my class. “They're made up of two or more nouns,” I explained. “For example, downtown or ballroom. Can anyone think of another one?” One boy raised his hand and offered, “Asphalt.”

我正在給學(xué)生講合成名詞。我解釋說(shuō)：“合成名詞是由兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的名詞組成的。比如：市中心、跳舞廳等。你們誰(shuí)能想出另外一個(gè)例子？”一個(gè)男孩舉手說(shuō)：“瀝青?！保ㄗⅲ篴sphalt這個(gè)字不是由asp（蝮蛇）和halt（停止）組成的。）
