connection

解释 connection 适合你的水平:

A connection is when you go from one train to another. It is also when you have a link to the internet. You use it to say things are together.

When you travel, a connection is a stop where you change vehicles. You can also have a connection with a person, which means you are friends or you understand each other well.

A connection is a link between two points. In travel, it is the transfer between planes or trains. In social terms, it refers to a relationship or a shared understanding between people.

The term is used to describe both physical links, like internet or travel, and abstract links, such as a connection between two historical events. It often implies a sense of synergy or mutual influence.

Beyond simple links, a connection can refer to a logical association or a causal relationship. It is frequently used in academic contexts to describe how theories or data points correlate with one another.

In a philosophical or advanced linguistic sense, a connection represents the underlying structure of reality where disparate elements are unified. It encompasses the intricate web of associations that define complex systems, from neural networks to global socio-economic ties.

connection 30秒了解

  • A connection is a link between two things.
  • It is used in travel, tech, and social contexts.
  • It is a countable noun.
  • It is pronounced kuh-NEK-shun.

When we talk about a connection, we are usually describing how things fit together. Think of it as a thread that ties two separate ideas, people, or places into one bigger picture.

In your daily life, you use this word constantly. You might have a strong connection with a friend, or perhaps you are worried about missing your flight connection at the airport. It is a versatile word that bridges the gap between the physical and the abstract.

The word connection has deep roots in Latin. It comes from the word connectere, which literally means 'to bind together.' The prefix con- means 'together' and nectere means 'to tie or bind.'

It entered the English language around the 15th century. Over time, it evolved from just describing physical ropes or chains to representing the invisible links we share with people and technology today.

You will hear this word in almost every setting. In business, you might talk about networking or business connections. In tech, we talk about internet connections.

It is a neutral word, meaning it works in casual chats or professional emails. Just be sure to use the right preposition: we usually say a connection between two things or a connection to something.

Make a connection: To understand how two things are related. Example: I finally made a connection between his mood and the weather.

Lost connection: When a phone call or internet drops. Example: Sorry, we lost connection for a second.

In connection with: Regarding something. Example: He was questioned in connection with the robbery.

Emotional connection: A deep bond. Example: They share a strong emotional connection.

Have connections: To know influential people. Example: She got the job because she has connections.

The word is a countable noun. You can say 'a connection' or 'many connections.' The stress is on the second syllable: con-NEC-tion.

In IPA, it is written as /kəˈnek.ʃən/. It rhymes with words like direction, perfection, and selection. It is a very rhythmic word to say!
