今明兩天，我們來學字根-de，de=down 往下掉的意思，所以也有否定的意味，最後也可以延伸有完全的completely的意思。
首先來看deplete，拆開來看變成de(=down)plete(=fill)將裝滿的東西用完，所以就是用盡的意思。
Deplete (v.)=run out =exhaust =empty out
To reduce the amount of something that is
present or available
減少現存有可以使用的東西，就是用完了
要注意喔！通常我們用這個字時，就是在說什麼東西用完了，所以要用被動式！
例句：
Food supplies were severely depleted after
the typhoon.
再來我們來看看depict，de(=down)pict(=picture)將東西描繪下來，就是描寫、敘述的意思。
Depict (v.) = portray =picture =show描寫、描繪
To describe something or someone in writing
or speech, or to show them in a painting, picture
用文字、演講、繪畫、照片等描述某事物
與他相關的片語有很多：
Depict somebody/something as something
把somebody/something 形容/比喻為 something
通常會用被動式，說明誰被說成是怎樣的人或物
Depict somebody/something doing something
描述somebody/something正在做某事
例句：
1.
The God is depicted as a bird
with a human head and feet.
2.
The director depicted the actress
singing in front of the audience.
