聊聊为什么我总是说手边要有一部英英词典。

2014年考研英语（二）里一篇阅读理解里先后出现了 rarity 和 scarcity 两个单词。知道这俩单词都有“稀有”的意思，就能答题了。但如果是用在写作里的话，理解到这个程度是不够的。rarity 经常指有价值的东西罕见、不够多（如珍品）； scarcity 是一个偏正式的说法，单纯地指少见，近义词是 lack。

这些只看英汉词典可能是看不到的。就算是看了上面我一连串的说明，也可能觉得有点绕。可是英英词典就不一样了——通过英文释义，我们能有更清晰的理解。看几个例句，理解就加深了。

[菊花] If someone or something is a rarity, they are interesting or valuable because they are so unusual.

[菊花]If there is a scarcity of sth, there is not enough of it and it is difficult to obtain it

对了，忘了怎么办？忘了很正常，再遇到、再查就好了嘛。[挤眼]

….do not deny your joy. Allow it to grow. There is no such thing as lack and limitation in joy, the same way there is no lack or limitation in love, or in peace, or in compassion for your sweet self.~Archangel Gabrielle 谢谢亲爱的加百利利！！！我爱你！！！❤️ https://t.cn/A6MkjYOg
