This series is particularly tailored for people learning English – English words particularly. Like many languages, English words can be broken down into parts; each part has its own meaning, contributing to the overall meaning of the word itself. Understanding how each word is put together with “parts” helps a learner remember English words easier.

这个系列特别适合学习英语单词的人。像许多语言一样，英语单词可以分解成不同组合部分; 每个部分都有着自己的含义，然后合起来组成这个词的整体意义。了解每个单词如何通过这些“部分”组合在一起有助于学生更容易记住每个英语单词。

**Momentous (adj)（形容词）**

**Phonetics 音标:** [ mō-ˈmen-təs ]

**Meaning 意义:**

Of utmost important because of effects on future events.

十分重要，尤其对未来事件的影响。

**In Part 分解部份:**

Moment + ous

time + [adj]

时间 + [形容词]

Etymologically, both **Momentous** and **Momentary** are adjectives and share the same word root , -moment-, which means “time.” However, these two adjectives of the same word root mean two different things. **Momentous** means “the moment of importance.” And **Momentary** is “of an instant of time".

从词源上来看，**Momentous**和**Momentary**都是形容词，并且共享相同，表示“时间”的词根，-moment-。但是拥有相同词根的这两个形容词其含义非常不同。**Momentous**表示 "重要" ，是从 "重要的一刻" 所引申出来的意思，而**Momentary**则表示“时刻”。

**Examples 例句:**

1. The wedding photographer captured all the momentous moments of their wedding day.

2. This court case sets a momentous legal precedent.
