在《21世纪大学英语》第二册A Brief History of Stephen Hawking一文中有这样一句话:“It has earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records for spending 184 weeks in The Sunday Times‘top-ten’lists,and has sold more than five million copies worldwide-virtually unheard-of Success for a scientist.”“unheard-of”在这里是“闻所未闻”的意思,是一个形容词合成词(compound adjectives)。一般说来,由两个或两个以上自由词素(free morpheme)构成,表示人或事物的性质或状态的合成词称为形容词合成词。合成法是英语最古老的构词方法之一,同时它也是当今英语语言中应用得最
In the article “A Brief History of Stephen Hawking” in the second volume of “21st Century College English”, there is a sentence saying: “It has earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records for spending 184 weeks in The Sunday Times’ top-ten’lists, And has sold more than five million copies worldwide-virtually unheard-of Success for a scientist.” “unheard-of” is here “unheard of” and is an adjective compound adjectives. In general, a compositional word consisting of two or more free morphemes (free morphemes) representing the nature or state of a person or thing is called an adjective compounding word. Synthetic method is one of the oldest word-building methods in English, and it is also the most widely used in English language today.
