重点词汇:

tight-lipped(沉默寡言的)。

blueprint /5blu:7print/ (蓝图)←blue+print。

intelligently /in5telidVEntli/ (聪明地,明智地)即intel+lig+ent+ly,intel-"在......之间"(=inter-,因后接l,故r变形为l),lig词根"选择"=lect,-ent形容词后缀,-ly副词后缀,故"具有从中挑选出所需之物的能力"→聪明地。Philosophy is a study that lets us be unhappy more intelligently.哲学是让我们更聪明地不快乐的一门学问。The computer is not intelligent at all, but very stupid indeed, and that, in fact, is one of its great values - its blind stupidity.计算机一点都不聪明,反而实在非常愚蠢,实际上,这才是它的非凡价值之一--它的盲目的愚蠢。

illustration /7ilEs5treiFEn/ (例证;图解)看作ill+ust+rat+ion,ill生病的,ust=est形容词最高级,rat老鼠,-ion名词后缀,用病入膏肓的老鼠作"图解"。如图:
