　　Homesick is a compound (复合) word made up of HOME and SICK. You know what each word means on its own, of course. But think about what the words mean when they are used together. Homesick means SICK FOR HOME．

　　Now think for a minute about SEASICK. If you change the word home in the definition (释义) to the word sea, would the definition fit SEASICK? Does seasick mean SICK FOR SEA? It means something quite different. Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA．When you are homesick, the only place you want is to be at home. When you are seasick, the last place you want to be is at sea.

　　Have you ever heard of a person being heartsick? Heart-sick doesn't mean that something is wrong with a person's heart. People are heartsick when they are hurt deep inside and when they feel as if their hearts are broken.

　　But, on the other hand, we have such compound words as handshake and handbag. Perhaps you may write definitions for them and knowing something like this must be helpful in your English study.

1．The word SEASICK means ________.

[　　]

A．to want very much to go to the sea

B．what has nothing to do with the sea

C．to be sick because of the sea

D．that the sea is terrible

　　You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best．"

　　What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation．It's not surprising, because the idea of home is "different from country to country, and from person to person．A home is more than a roof and four walls．It's the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside．And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed．

　　Homes look different in different countries．They also have different things inside．For example, in cold northern Europe, there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it．In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors．
