英英單字圖文記憶(085)

prescient  ['presɪrnt]:

If you say that someone or something was prescient, you mean that they were able to know or predict what was going to happen in the future.【預知的;能預見未來的】

【分解】:前綴pre = before,表示:"在…之前";字根sci = to know,表示:知道、了解;後綴ent = like,形容詞,表:"像"。
【分析】:”像在之前就知道的” 引伸為 “預知的”。

For example,
It was a remarkably prescient vision.  這的確很有遠見。
