interplay

inter-play

v.相互影響 [reciprocal relationship, action, or influence]

n.相互影響 [to exert influence on each other.]

ex. the interplay of light and shadow
光與影的交錯的相互作用

ex. the interplay between generosity and self-interest which influences people's actions
影響人的行為的慷慨與私利兩者的相互作用.

interpolate

inter-pol(polish)-ate

v.插入 [To insert or introduce between other elements or parts.]

ps. 比方說插入意見在別人的談話中，或是插入一些字在文章中，這時後插入這個動作就可以用interpolate。

ex. May I interpolate a comment before you speak?

字源： from L. interpolare "alter, freshen up, falsify," from inter- "up" + polare, related to polire "to smoothe , polish ." Sense evolved in L. from "refurbish," to "alter appearance of," to "falsify (especially by adding new material)."

interpolate的字義來源是插入一個新的材料才使變大或改變，這邊的pol是polish的意思，是指磨光打亮之義。想表達的想法是加入個新材料就可以使它看似磨光打亮而變大變好，後來就引申成插入文字囉。

ps. 另外在數學中，interpolation指的是內插法：
比方說，你月初量一次體重，月底也量一次體重，然後你想利用這兩組data來估計出你月中的體重，這就是interpolation的大概了。

extrapolate

extra(outside)-pol(polish)-ate  [其實是由 extra-(inter)polate組合而成]

v.推斷 [to infer (an unknown) from something that is known; conjecture.]

ex. We don't know the exact figure for forest damage, but we can extrapolate from the sample surveys.
我們不知道森林破壞的精確數字，但是我們可以從抽樣的測量來推算。

v. 外推法(或稱外插法)

interregnum (ˌɪntəˈrɛɡnəm)

inter-regnum(=reign)

n.空位期 [The interval of time between the end of a sovereign's reign and the accession of a successor.]

ps.新王尚未登基舊王統治已結束的空位期，比方說秦始皇的老爸(秦莊襄王)死了的時候，秦始皇還年幼(13歲)然後還要服喪，所以還不能登基統治，這時期就可以稱是 interregnum。另外可以衍生指過渡期的意思。

ex. No one in the interregnum seemed to feel final responsibility, and so matters drifted along.
在新舊總統交替期間，似乎誰也不願意承擔最後的責任，於是事情就這樣隨波逐流下去了。

字源： L. interrēgnum . rēgnum "reign"

interregnum:government＝hibernation:activity
無王時期沒有統治＝冬眠沒有活動
