基本英英词源记法近义反义例句例句
n.亿万富翁¹⁰⁰复数billionaires
Noun:
a very rich person whose material wealth is valued at more than a billion dollarsmillion系直接借自古法语，源于意大利语millione，按字面义是a thousand thousands一千个千，汉语作“百万”。billion也直接从法语吸收而来，系由前缀bi-‘two’指二次幂加million缩合而成，按字面义是a million millions一百万个百万，故汉语作“万亿”。然而在美国billion并不指“万亿”，而指“十亿”，近年来英国也日趋把billion当作“十亿”来用。millionaire也是法语借词，约于1820年进入英语，意为“百万富翁”。皮毛业商人阿斯特John Jacob Astor，1763 -1848可能是第一位被称为millionaire的美国人。而billionaire则是由billion接millionaire的尾部-aire构成，始见于1861年，意指“亿万富翁”。第一位被称为美国式billionaire的恐怕当数美国实业家洛克菲勒John D．Rockefeller，1839 - 1937。与million相关的词还有几个，如milliard，系英国英语，相当于美国英语billion，即“十亿”，它也借自法语。又如trillion，其构成与billion类似，系由tri- three指三次幂接million之尾部-llion缩合而成，它也是法语借词，在英国英语指“百万的三次幂”，在美国英语则指“百万的二次幂”，即“万亿”。但这两个词在英语中都用得不多。billion-aire⇒n.亿万富翁近义词 magnate巨头moneybags富翁capitalist资本家millionaire百万富翁tycoon企业界的大亨…fat cat有钱有势的人…
