| 释义 | 〔endocentric〕Of or relating to a compound word whose referent is the same as the referent of one of its constituent parts. For example, the nounblackboard is endocentric in that it refers to a type of board. (复合字) 向心的：有关复合字的指示物与其中一组合字的指示物为相同，或与其相关的。例如，名词blackboard（黑板） 就是属向心结构的，其所指称的是一种板子 〔ply〕One of the strands twisted together to make yarn, rope, or thread. Often used in combination:股：绞在一起来制成纱、绳或线的几股中的一股，常用在复合字中：〔hyphenated〕Naturalized immigrants to the United States and their descendants have sometimes been termedhyphenated Americans in reference to the tendency to hyphenate such ethnic compounds as Irish-American and Polish-American. This term has come under strong criticism as suggesting that those so designated are not as fully American as "unhyphenated" citizens, and it is best avoided in all but historical contexts. 归化美国的移民及其后代子孙有时会以hyphenated Americans 的措词称呼，这与使用连字号的趋势有关，例如像 Irish-American（爱尔兰裔美国人） 和 Polish-American（波兰裔美国人） 之类的种族复合字。这种词汇遭到许多批评，指出这些被指定的名称似乎并不如"unhyphenated（未用连字号）”的公民一般为完全的美国人，也因此应尽量避免于历史文章之外使用此类字 |
