问题 Which of the following words is a blend, i.e. a word formed by combining parts of others?
选项 A、Disco.
B、Laser.
C、Motel.
D、AIDS.
答案C
解析 motel由motor hotel拼缀而成。拼缀法指把两个词截头或去尾拼合成一个词，如breakfast and lunch拼合成brunch。Laser和AIDS由首字母缩略法(acronym)构成，如laser(激光)=Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation(受激辐射式光频放大器)；AIDS(艾滋病)全称为“Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome”(获得性免疫功能丧失综合症)。Disco属于缩略词(shortening word)，源自discotheque(迪斯科舞)。
