Examples
"I've recently returned from my annual trip to the UK and, as usual on returning, my accent (apparently) is a little more clipped than when I left, and I'm wearing brogues and—most startling of all—socks, despite the unseasonable Aussie heat." — Neale Whitaker, The Advertiser (Australia), 20 Jan. 2019
“我最近剛從一年一度的英國旅行回來，和往常一樣，回來時，我的口音（顯然）比我離開時變了些，我穿著布羅克鞋和—最令人吃驚的是—襪子，儘管澳大利亞的高溫天氣不合時宜。” — Neale Whitaker，廣告人報（澳大利亞），2019.1.20
Did You Know?
Did you expect brogue to be defined as "an Irish accent"? You're probably not alone; however, brogue has two homographs (words that are spelled—and, in this case, pronounced—the same but have different origins or parts of speech). Today we're featuring brogue, the shoe, which comes from the Irish word bróg and probably derives from an Old Norse term meaning "leg covering." Brogue, the accent, comes from a different Irish word, barróg, which means "accent" or "speech impediment."
您是否期望 brogue 被定義為“愛爾蘭口音”？那你可能並不孤單；然而，brogue 有兩個同形異義詞（拼寫相同，而在這種例子下，發音相同但起源或詞性不同的單字）。今天我們要介紹的鞋子是布羅克鞋，它來自愛爾蘭語 bróg，可能源自古挪威語，意思是“腿套”。口音 Brogue 來自一個不同的愛爾蘭詞 barróg ，意思是“口音”或“語言障礙”。
心得與說文解字:
今天要來講的是 fer ( 有搬運以及背負的意思 )，之前有提過 prefer ，是把喜歡的東西搬到自己前面，所以代表著喜好的意思。而 suffer ( 受苦；罹患；承受 )， suf(f) ( 往下 ) / fer ( 背負 ) ，而 con ( 一起 ) / fer ( 背負 ) ence ( 名詞片尾 ) ，一起背負，衍生出來的是會議，順便一提， confer 是動詞意思是商討或會商。
