试试两个办法：1. 把这个词的语境词汇卡截屏保存下来，多拿出来复习几次，在语境中记单词对我个人而言特别有效。2. 这个词里有ill 和 anim (有点像animal)，可以联想成生病的小动物，生病的小动物肯定胆小，害怕被攻击嘛，所以就是怯懦的，胆小的意思。:)

都差不多。我们家孩子(ABC)是读成/aithr/

有的。最近刚开的。名字一样。😃

好嘞

minus 16 points是净支持率，就是% of voters who approve - % of voters who disapprove。 净支持率为负值就说明不支持拜登的选民比支持他的要多。所以民主党这次真是前景堪忧呀。

谢谢您的留言和探讨。这里的负16点指的是拜登的净支持率（net approval rating)。原文：Joe Biden’s net approval rating stands at minus 16 points.

@@englishwithsharon 我查了，您是对的When you see a negative "approval" rating, it means that it was determined by taking the percent of people who like the person and subtracting the percent who don't. Usually, in my experience anyway, it is called a "favorability rating." So, for example, if 41% of people approve of President Obama, and 45% disapprove, that leaves him at -4%.

嗯，所以开篇我说文章的观点尖刻，就是觉得他观点尖锐，但是有些刻薄：）
