考研英语·每日核心词解析：sheep，拒绝无效背诵，每天死磕一个高频词!从词根拆解到真题语境，一篇帮你彻底吃透它，建议先收藏再背诵!

高频考研英语单词：sheep

单词：sheep

音标：/ʃiːp/

释义：n.（绵）羊；易受人摆布的人（pl.sheep）

考频：★★★

记法：

象形联想记忆：字母s形似绵羊弯曲的羊角，双写ee对应绵羊圆溜溜的两只眼睛，字母p形似绵羊上翘的短尾巴，组合起来就对应绵羊的形象；绵羊天性温顺盲从，很容易被牧羊人驱赶摆布，因此引申出“易受人摆布的人”的含义，同时注意该名词单复数形式完全同形。

派生词：

sheepish (形容词，意为羞怯的，局促不安的，因犯错而面露愧色的)

sheepherder (名词，意为牧羊人，养羊从业者)

sheepskin (名词，意为羊皮、羊皮纸，美式考研语境常引申指大学毕业文凭)

搭配：

a flock of sheep 一群绵羊

black sheep 害群之马，群体中的败类

follow like sheep 盲从，随波逐流

separate the sheep from the goats 区分优劣，辨别良莠
