问题 Which of the following words is a blend, a word formed by combining parts of others?
选项 A、Disco.
B、Laser.
C、Motel.
D、AIDS.
答案C
解析 motel(汽车旅馆)由motor和hotel拼缀而成。拼缀法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: laser(激光)=Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation(受激辐射式光频放大器)；AIDS(艾滋病)=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)。
