【vocabulary】
adhere [ədˈhɪr] v. 粘著，依附
The English vocabulary structure is basically based on the root, and then it is formed by adding prefixes or suffixes as needed.
英語字彙結構基本上以字根為主，再視需要添加字首或字尾而形成。
English is basically a kind of phonology. Unlike Chinese, English vocabulary doesn't change due to pictograms, but it is deformed due to the needs of pronunciation.
This is true for the root; it is also true for the prefix or suffix.
For the root is true, the same is true for the auxiliary prefix or suffix.
英語基本上是一種音韻學，不同於中文，英文字彙不因象形而改變，卻因發音的需要而有所變形，字根如此；作為輔助的字首或字尾，亦然。
"Her" as a word, represents the female third person singular accusative pronoun or possessive case; but "her" can actually be used as a root in a word, and "her" can be found in many words.
"Her" 作為單字，表女性第三人稱單數受格代名詞或所有格；但 "her" 在單字當中其實還可以作為字根使用，在許多單字當中可以找得到 "her" 的身影。
The root "her" or its variants "here", "hes", means stick. We can easily find the root "her" in the word "adhere". The prefix "ad" of the word "adhere" means "toward", and then add the deformation "here" of the root "her", It emphasizes sticking together, so the single word "adhere" means sticking and attaching.
字根 "her" 或其變形 "here"、"hes"，表示粘附(stick)。我們在單字 "adhere" 中很容易就找到了字根 "her" 的身影，單字 "adhere" 的字首 "ad" 表示 "toward"，然後再加上字根 "her" 的變形 "here"，強調粘附在一起，故單字 "adhere" 表示粘著，依附。
Of course, this is its verb form. If the noun suffix "ence" is added to it, it indicates the "adherence" of the noun form, and derives the meaning of "strict adherence to belief".
當然這個是它的動詞形式，如果在後面加上名詞後綴 "ence" 就表示了名詞形式的 "adherence" 粘附，而衍生出 "嚴守信念" 的意義。
Of course, it can also connect different noun suffixes to express subtle differences in meaning. For example, connecting the suffix of "ent" to represent "character" becomes the word "adherent" representing "disciple or supporter". Furthermore, if the noun suffix "ion" is connected, it becomes the word adhesion, which means adhesion, and then leads to the meaning of "persistence".
當然它還可以銜接不同的名詞後綴表達出細微的含義差別。比如銜接 "ent" 表 "人物" 的後綴，就變成了單詞 "adherent" 表 "門徒或支持者"，再者，若銜接 "ion" 這個名詞後綴就變成了表粘附力的單字 adhesion，進而引申出 "堅持" 這個含意。
adherent [ədˈhɪrənt] adj. 黏性的，n. 門徒
以字首 -ad 和字根 -her 組成的動詞單字 "adhere" 可以銜接不同的後綴表達出細微的含義差別。
字尾-ent, 主要當「形容詞」字尾。若轉當名詞，則通常表示「人」的意思。
因此，單字 "adherent" ，當「形容詞」使用時，表 "黏性的"；"黏著的"；"附著的"。例如：
an adherent surface
黏性表面
單字 "adherent" ，當「名詞」使用時，表 "信仰者"；"門徒"；"追隨者"。
例如：
The proposal is gaining more and more adherents.
該建議得到越來越多的支持者。
inherent [ɪnˈhɪərənt] adj. 固有的；內在的；與生俱來的
buzzword [ˈbʌzwɜːrd] n. 時髦術語，流行行話
uphold [ʌpˈhoʊld] v. 支持； 維持；贊成
【phrase】
stand up against [stænd ʌp əˈɡenst] ph. 挺身反對
