impartial

adj.公正的,不偏不倚的

As chairman, I must remain impartial.

作为主席,我必须保持中立。

【im不能看成 “ impart ” 的一部分, 而是看成 “ partial ”的否定前缀,“partial”是偏爱,喜欢的意思。】


3

fowl

n. a bird that is kept for its meat and eggs, for example a chicken 

鸡之类的家禽

【这英文解释比较有趣,一种鸟类,养了它是为了它的肉和蛋。凤凰?

这个单词的音读起来有点像“fool”(傻瓜)。简单记,fowl 通常看起了"like a fool".】


poultry

n.

chickens, ducks and geese , kept for their meat or eggs 家禽

meat from chickens, ducks and geese鸡鸭鹅的肉

【这,意思就丰富很多了嘛。还可以表示禽类肉的统称。】
