overture
英 ['əʊvətj(ʊ)ə]
美 ['ovətʃʊr]
- n. 前奏曲；提案；序幕
- vt. 提议；为……奏前奏曲
助记提示
1、aperire "open, uncover" <=> operire "close, cover", 互为反义词。
2、apert- => overt- + -ure.
3、取引申义，表示：(歌剧、戏剧等的)开始、开幕(opening)，进一步引申为：序曲、序幕、前奏曲；同时还引申为：主动提出、主动表示、主动建议，即作为一种主动姿态(opening)提出。
4、其含义要注意与overt区分。
5、p变v的实例：French evesque (English: bishop, Latin: episcopus, Greek episkopos) merely softens the p into v and drops the last syllable.
