 A. UNDERSTANDING OF COMPOUND OF
TRANSLATION

The meaning of a compound is usually to some

extent compositional, though it is often not
predictable. For example, popcorn is a kind of
corn which pops; once you know the meaning, it
is possible to see how the parts contribute to
the whole – but if you do not know the meaning
of the whole, you are not certain to guess it by
looking at the meaning of the parts.

because i knew i should feel happy, but i wasn’t really
happy.

together, they form another word sunflowers.
