independent/??nd??pend?nt/adj. 自主的，有主見的；自立的

一、單詞記憶

初中的時(shí)候我們學(xué)過一個(gè)單詞，depend，動(dòng)詞，意為“依賴，依靠”的意思。在它后面加上ent，形容詞后綴，dependent就是一個(gè)形容詞，意為“依賴的，依靠的”，然后再在前面加上in，否定前綴，independent就是不依賴的，不依靠的，這個(gè)就是“自主的，有主見的；自立的”。

二、單詞例句

Going away to college has made me much more independent.

離家上大學(xué)使我變得獨(dú)立自主得多。
