正如后綴是單詞的結尾
A prefix is a word beginning

總是在單詞的前綴之后
Not all prefixes however give word the opposite meaning
并不是所有的前綴都會給單詞以相反的意義
Some prefixes also meaning in another way
有些前綴會使單詞變成別的意義
For example
打個比方
“anti” means against, aniti-nuclear

“self” means relating to me, self-evaluation
self 意為與我有關 self-evaluation 自我評價
under means not enough under-cooked
under 意為不足 under-cooked 火候不足
Note that these prefixes are giving equal stress to the word after them
單詞前綴之后的字節有著相同的重音
Because it changes all adds meaning to the word
