   你是否知道英语单词也是有“性别”的,往往在单词前面加上性别名次或单词后面加上某些后缀就能区分该单词的阴性和阳性。但如何正确使用单词的阴阳性也有四大方法需要掌握。


  一、在名词后加ess: (对比,前面的单词为阳性,后面的为阴性)
  author:authoress 女作家
  heir:heiress 女性继承人
  host:hostess 女主人
  lion:lioness 雌狮
  二、“masculine(阳性)与 feminine 完全不同:(对比,前面的单词为阳性,后面的为阴性)
  bachelor 单身汉——maid 少女
  boy男孩——girl 女孩
  brother兄弟——sister 姐妹
  bull公牛——cow 母牛
  cock公鸡——hen 母鸡
  dog狗——bitch 母狗
  father父亲——mother母亲
  gentleman男士——lady女士
  horse马——mare 母马
  husband丈夫——wife 妻子
  king国王——queen 王后
  man男人——woman女人
  monk 和尚——nun 尼姑
  nephew 外甥——niece 甥女
  sir先生——madam女士
  son儿子——daughter女儿
  uncle叔叔——aunt阿姨
  三、可是不要以为加上ess就万事大吉了,有时它还是耍一些小花样的:(对比,前面的单词为阳性,后面的为阴性)
  actor:actress(不是actoress)女演员
  hunter:huntress(不是hunteress)女猎人
  tiger:tigress 母虎
  negro:negress 女黑人
  master:mistress (不是mastress)女主人
  prince:princess 公主
  murderer murderess (去r加ss) 女杀手
  四、在名词前或后加上性别名词:(对比,前面的单词为阳性,后面的为阴性)
  man-servant:maid-servant女仆
  cock-sparrow:hen-sparrow母麻雀
  bull-calf:cow-calf 雌小牛
  he-goat:she-goat 雌山羊
  tom cat:she-cat母猫
  turkey-cock:turkey-hen 雌火鸡
  peacock:peahen 母孔雀
  milk-man:milk-maid挤奶妇
  washer-man:washer-woman洗衣女
