accordvt.使符合The mayor will try to accord the controversy over the housing scheme.市长试图调解住房规划方面的争议。vi.相一致His actions accord with his words.他言行一致。vt.给予We accorded him a hearty welcome.我们给他热忱的欢迎。n.同意The two countries reached an accord.两国达成一致。n.自愿He came to see you of his own accord.他自愿来看你。The children returned on their own accord.孩子们自己回来了。词汇课堂重现：accord是一个很高频的单词，它的及物动词含义有三个——使符合，给予，赠与；不及物动词含义是“相一致”；名词含义有“同意”、“和解”、“妥协”、“自愿”等等，其中最核心的意思应该是“相一致”（His opinion accorded with mine.），“给予”，“赠与”指的是某人的所作所为符合我的想法或者符合社会制度将会被授予奖赏（We accorded him a hearty welcome.），其它几个意思也不难统一。这个核心意思还可以用词根来解释，拉丁语中cor表示“心”，引申出词根cord与“心”相关，心脏的跳动要与一个人的心境和生存状态相符合。派生词core表示“核心”，concord表示名词词性的“和谐”，discord表示名词词性的“不一致”，record表示再一次通过心想起于是要“记录”下来，还有vocal cords是声带的意思，courage表示通过心灵展现出来的“勇气”，cordial表示使心跳加速“热情的，友好的”和“兴奋剂”的意思。如果遇到含义之间毫无联系的单词，比如intrigue表示“阴谋”和“激起兴趣”，记住更加常用的“激起兴趣”这个意思就足够了（Hibernation has long intrigued biologists.）。accountn.账户The accounts are perfectly in order.帐目有条不紊。n.解释He gave a vivid account of his life as a fighter pilot.他生动地描绘了作为战斗机飞行员的生活。vi.解释How do you account for losing five games in a row?你如何解释一连输了五场比赛？A number of explanations have been offered to account for this dilemma.很多原因被用来解释这一两难境地。vi.导致The New York Times, which reaches a national audience, accounts for one billion dollars in advertisement revenue annually.覆盖全国范围的纽约时报能产生每年十亿美元的广告收入。addressn.地址 vt.写地址The letter was addressed to the wrong house.这封信写错了地址。vt.与…说话He addressed her with high compliment.他对她说了很多恭维的话。n.演讲 vt.演讲The mayor gave a television address yesterday evening.市长昨晚做了电视演讲。vt.提出If your friend did something wrong, you should always address a warning to him.如果你的朋友做错了什么，你应当时常向他提出警告。vt.处理The manager addressed the issue of absenteeism.经理处理了旷工事宜。adoptvt.收养She was left an orphan and a poor peasant woman adopted her.她成了孤儿，一位贫农妇女收养了她。vt.采纳The king was forced to adopt a new constitution which reduced his powers.国王被迫采用了削弱其权力的新宪法。He has been assiduous in learning his adopted language.他一直很努力地学习外语。appealn.恳求，呼吁He made one last appeal to his fat
