Today we'll be talking about blended words in English that combine two existing words: 今天我们要说说英语里把两个词混在一起，组成一个新的混成词
For example:
Bromance: brother + romance 基友、基情
Murse: man + purse 男人的小夹包8 B, }3 H# N! X6 Z$ ^
( f: \4 e) N s3 W
, ~! I! `* C2 {( L# V1 Q
这类词叫“破馒头”
9 d- ?4 O, h$ _" J; T
These words are called portmanteaus: 这些词叫混合词
Portmanteau sounds like 破馒头: Portmanteau听起来很像破馒头
Portmanteau is originally a French word. It means a suitcase with two compartments: portmanteau是一个法语词，原意指有两个夹层的皮箱
There are a lot of fun and useful portmanteaus in English. They'll help you sound very native and plugged in: 英语里有很多有趣的、实用的混成词；使用它们会让你的英语听起来很地道、对美国文化很了解
