aboard

board做动词有上车/船/飞机的意思，boarding就是正在上。board做名词有板的意思，车厢地板的板。

a是个词根，有三种意思：
1. 以某种状态或方式，如: ablaze, afire, aflame, alight, aloud, alive, afloat等
2. at, in, on, to sth，如: abed, aboard, abroad, ahead, afoot, ashore等
3. not/without, 如: amoral, asexual, atypical等

aboard: 到板上去。abroad: 到broad(广、大)的地方去：到国外去。过去有些人一辈子没去过县城。

All aboard! 全体上车。发音像拼音的ao-le-bao-de. 即All的l和aboard的a粘起来读。这种现象很常见，再如disagree，构词是dis+agree，读音是/disəˈgriː/，不是dis…agree. 手机/电脑上的词典和翻译软件，许多有发音功能，建议多听并模仿，音标供参考，不要背，更不要练印刷体。非专业人士不要苦练a和ʌ，i和ə等，长的长(i和i:)，重的重，forty和fourteen能让人听出差别，就差不离。Raj把所有的θ念成t，如think成了tink, Tweety Bird tought (thought) he taw (saw) a cat, 老外也能听懂。

不要迷信外教。我的中文不错，不说明我能教语文或当播音员。同理，老外英语好能说明啥？华尔街英语的某个外教说maybe不能放句首，只有纽约的downtown才能叫downtown. 卖课程的拿cold feet做卖点，耐着性子多看几页，词典里cold和foot词条下都有，美剧《老友记》里也有。

abolish

发音像哦暴力式，我曾念成阿布罗伊师(abloish)。spaghetti不是psaghetti.

Emancipation Proclamation, in U.S. history, the executive order abolishing slavery in the Confederate States of America.

In the early part of the Civil War, President Lincoln refrained from issuing an edict freeing the slaves despite the insistent urgings of abolitionists. Believing that the war was being fought solely to preserve the Union, he sought to avoid alienating the slaveholding border states that had remained in the Union. "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that." He wrote these words to Horace Greeley on Aug. 22, 1862, in answer to criticism from that administration gadfly; he had, however, long since decided, after much reflection, to adopt the third course.

Lincoln kept the plan to himself until July 13, 1862, when, according to the cabinet diarist Gideon Welles, he first mentioned it to Welles and Secretary of State William H. Seward. On July 22 he read a preliminary draft to the cabinet and acquiesced in Seward's suggestion to wait until after a Union victory before issuing the proclamation. The Antietam campaign presented that opportunity, and on Sept. 22, 1862, after reading a second draft to the cabinet, he issued a preliminary proclamation that announced that emancipation would become effective on Jan. 1, 1863, in those states "in rebellion" that had not meanwhile laid down their arms.

On Jan. 1, 1863, the formal and definite Emancipation Proclamation was issued. The President, by virtue of his powers as commander in chief, declared free all those slaves residing in territory in rebellion against the federal government "as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion." Congress, in effect, had done as much in its confiscation acts of Aug., 1861, and July, 1862, but its legislation did not have the popular appeal of the Emancipation Proclamation—despite the great limitations of the proclamation, which did not affect slaves in those states that had remained loyal to the Union or in territory of the Confederacy that had been reconquered. These were freed in other ways. Nor did the proclamation have any immediate effect in the vast area over which the Confederacy retained control. Confederate leaders, however, feared that it would serve as an incitement to insurrection and denounced it.
