Did You Know?
Migrate, emigrate, and immigrate are all about being on the move. The source of all three is the Latin word migrare, which means "to move from one place to another." Emigrate and immigrate sound alike, and both involve leaving one location and arriving in another, but they are applied differently: emigrate stresses leaving the original place, while immigrate focuses on arriving in the new one. You won't have trouble keeping them straight if you remember that the prefix e- means "away," as in eject, and the prefix im- or in- means "into," as in inject.
Migrate， emigrate， 和 immigrate 都是关于移居的词。 这三个词的来源都是拉丁词migrare，意思是“to move from one place to another.「从一个地方移到另一个地方」”。Emigrate and immigrate 听起来很像，两者都是离开一个地点并到达另一个地点，但是他们在应用上却大不相同：emigrate 强调离开原来的地方，而immigrate则侧重于到达新地方。你不需要死记硬背，如果您记得前缀 e-表示“away「离开」”（如 eject「弹出」），前缀 im- 或 in- 表示“into「进入」”（如inject「注入，注射」）。
