2012年新托福词汇记忆：construction$ ^* y" M! T- |9 m6 K+ G
有些单词，动词用的多，有些单词名词用的多，construction这个单词，就是那种很典型的用名词多过动词的情况，当然我们也经常是在用名词来表示动词的意思。比如我们在托福考试之中会见到这样的用法，Materials and methods of construction are integral parts of design of architecture structures. 就是一个很典型的例子。很显然“建筑”，“建设”这两个词义最重要的。- [: H0 A6 d$ c; y4 @5 f. _) O
