v.
To give a title or name to a book, film or other work
给(作品)加标题,命名为
词根拆分
词根派生en-(「给予、置入」)+ title =「赋予标题」。由此分出两支:给作品加上标题(a book entitled 'Dune'),或赋予某人「title」= 享有某物的正当资格(entitle them to a refund 使其有权退款)。
词根 titl 还连着 4 个词使用指南
权利义:'entitle someone to (do) something',被动 'be entitled to' 最常见(you're entitled to a refund 你有权退款)。命名义:也多用被动(the book is entitled... 这本书名为…)。英式英语在给作品命名时偏好用 entitled 而非 titled。
