2 Word Formation
Conversion
English words are usually formed in four ways:
? affixation (詞綴法) including prefixation (前綴法), such as impossible, rewrite, and suffixation (后綴法), such as useful, visually, pursuer, motivation;
? compounding (合成法), such as software, well-known, 3-year-old;
? abbreviation (縮略法), such as DJ, USA;
? conversion (詞性轉換法).
Conversion is done when a word changes its class without any change of its form. Its typical (典型的) cases include noun → verb, verb → noun, adjective → noun and adjective → verb, such as tutor n. → v. change v. → n. red adj. → n. lower adj. → v.
In the text there are some words used in the same way. Can you find any of them? And can you list any other words like them?
答案：1. didn't show up
解析：根據“waited...for two hours”和“had to cancel”可知，Phil沒出現，用一般過去時否定式“didn't show up”。
2. tutor their children themselves
解析：句意“現在請家教的費用很高。所以很多父母選擇自己輔導孩子。”“tutor”作動詞，“tutor their children themselves”（自己輔導孩子）符合語境。
3. believe in yourself
解析：“Be sure about yourself”（相信自己）與“believe in yourself”（相信自己）意思相同，為祈使句。
4. chasing our dreams
解析：“keep doing sth.”（持續做某事），“chase our dreams”（追逐我們的夢想）符合“never give up”的語境。
5. have no motivation for
解析：句意“大學畢業后我會找份工作，成為一名技術工人。我沒有上研究生的動機。”“have no motivation for...”（沒有……的動機）符合結構。
2. （文本中可能的轉換詞，需根據原文確定，以下為示例）
- tutor: n. 家教 → v. 輔導（如文中“He asked a well-known DJ for tutoring.”或“He tutors himself.”）
- screen: n. 屏幕 → v. 篩選（如文中“screen the music”）
其他類似單詞：
- water: n. 水 → v. 澆水
- book: n. 書 → v. 預訂
- air: n. 空氣 → v. 通風
- hand: n. 手 → v. 傳遞
- face: n. 臉 → v. 面對
