為了讓大家更好的準備2018年教師資格證考試，整理了高頻考點《2018年成人學位英語考試輔導:疊聲合成詞》一文，希望有助于考生全面系統(tǒng)的復習考試！
在英語合成詞中，有一種不是很普遍的，也較少人注意的，那就是疊聲合成詞(repetition compounds)。
疊聲合成詞多數(shù)是名詞，也可轉化為形容詞、動詞或副詞，有三種形式：
Ⅰ兩個字都相同，如：
●He pooh-poohed my idea.(輕視)
●It is a hush-hush report not to be made public.(秘密的)
●The boy said bye-bye to his parents.(再見)
其他類似的疊聲合成詞有：
clank-clank(鏈子聲), drip-drip(雨水聲), tap-tap(打字機的聲音), so so(馬馬虎虎), goody-goody(偽善的), fifty-fifty(各半的), pretty-pretty(打扮得很俗氣的), thump-thump(砰然聲), snip-snip(剪聲)等。
Ⅱ第二字的元音和第一字的不同，如：
●Electric networks criss-cross the whole island.(交叉往來)
●The government dilly-dallied over lengthening the retirement age.(猶疑不決)
●he blinds flip-flopped in the wind.(飄搖、搖曳)
●The drunkard zig-zagged along the road.(彎彎曲曲地走)
●Most women like knick-knacks.(小裝飾品)
●Is it possible to get rid of the riff-raff of a society?(下等人)
●The graduating students had a pleasant sing-song in the garden.(歌唱會)
●Do you like wishy-washy soup?(淡而無味的)
Ⅲ第二字的輔音和第一字的不同，如：
●Barbarians in ancient times had to kow-tow to government officials.(叩頭)
●Some people are not used to the hub-bub of the city. (喧囂)
●I pity those who lead a humdrum life year in year out.(單調的)
●Willy-nilly, young people at the age of 18 must go for military training.(不管愿意或不愿意)
●Don't play hanky-panky with your friends.(陰謀詭計)
●When rain suddenly came, the pedestrians ran helter-skelter.(狼狽地)
●Tom and his friends used to hob-nob in the bar.(共飲、親切地交談)
●The defeated soldiers retreated pell-mell.(混亂地)
●The market in the morning is usually filled with hurly-burly.(喧鬧)
疊聲合成詞形象清新，但數(shù)量不多，用的范疇也較局限，通常都不在嚴肅或正式的場合出現(xiàn)。
