Dependency
“Dependency”是一个名词,主要有两个含义:
- 依赖:依赖关系或依赖状态
- 附属:附属的事物或地区
- The dependency on technology increased. (对技术的依赖增加了。)
- The island was a dependency of the country. (这个岛是该国的附属。)

“Dependency”来自形容词 “dependent”(依赖的),加上后缀 “-cy”(名词后缀,表示状态)。
- 词根:dependent(依赖的)
- 后缀:-cy(名词后缀)
“Dependency”常用于描述依赖关系、依赖状态,在心理学、政治和日常对话中经常使用。
- 形容词形式:dependent(依赖的)
可以将 “dependency” 与 “dependent”(依赖的)联系起来,“-cy” 后缀将其变为名词形式。
My friend had a dependency on her phone - she couldn’t go anywhere without it, checked it constantly, and got anxious if she forgot it. Her dependency was so strong that it affected her relationships and work. Breaking a dependency is hard, but it’s possible with support and determination.
我朋友对手机有依赖——她不能没有它就去任何地方,经常检查它,如果忘记它就会焦虑。她的依赖如此强烈,以至于影响了她的关系和工作。打破依赖是困难的,但在支持和决心下是可能的。
