Fussbucket: 大惊小怪的人
<p><span word="Fussbucket">Fussbucket</span>: 大惊小怪的人</p><p>做阅读理解最怕什么？百分之八九十的人都有这样的反映：一个句子还没看完，就有一两个不熟悉的单词出来相迎。</p><p>遇到这种情况千万别“过分紧张”，您或是慢慢在下文找相对应的解释，或是静心分析这些陌生面孔的组词方式。比如：若遇到以下几个稀里古怪的单词<span word="fussbucket">fussbucket</span>、<span word="fussbudget">fussbudget</span>、<span word="fusspot">fusspot</span>或<span word="fussbox">fussbox</span>，您会怎么办？ 先来看<span word="fussbucket">fussbucket</span>。词根<span word="fuss">fuss</span>应该不会陌生吧？指<span word="a">a</span> <span word="commotion">commotion</span> <span word="out">out</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="proportion">proportion</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="occasion">occasion</span>; <span word="a">a</span> <span word="state">state</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="consternation">consternation</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="anxiety">anxiety</span>（过分混乱的局面；惊恐万状、惊慌失措、大惊小怪），而词缀<span word="bucket">bucket</span>（桶）则是形容这种状态“满满的、能装满一大桶”，不言而喻，能够集“惊慌失措”于一身肯定是指某个人向来“一惊一乍、慌里慌张”了。 由于<span word="budget">budget</span>（预算）源于古法语词<span word="bougette">bougette</span>（皮包），在古英语中用来形容“钱包”，所以<span word="fussbudget">fussbudget</span>与<span word="fussbuket">fussbuket</span>是可相互替换的近义词；以此类推，<span word="fuss">fuss</span>+<span word="pot">pot</span>（壶、罐）、<span word="fuss">fuss</span>+<span word="box">box</span>（盒子，箱子）自然也是形容那种“大惊小怪的人”了。</p>
