微軟日本公司為讓員工在工作與生活間取得更好的平衡，於今年八月實驗週休三日工作制，結果顯示員工生產力大幅提升40% (Microsoft Japan’s 4-day workweek experiment sees productivity jump 40%)。experiment (n.實驗)=字首ex-(表out of由…取得)+古印歐字根*per-(表test測試)+名詞字尾-ment(表手段或結果)，透過測試的方式來取得結果就是在”實驗”囉! (★expert專家、perilous非常危險的，都是由古印歐字根*per-衍生的字哦!)

perfidious \per-FID-ee-us\ adjective
of, relating to, or characterized by faithlessness or disloyalty
: treacherous
Example Sentence:
"Businessmen are constantly scheming to get the government to beat up on
their competitors, and the best excuse of all is that the competitor is a
perfidious foreigner." (The Wall Street Journal, October 27, 1992)
Did you know?
We wouldn't lie to you about the history of "perfidious" -- even though
the word itself suggests deceitfulness. The modern English meaning of
"perfidious" remains faithful to that of its Latin ancestor, "perfidus,"
which means "faithless." English speakers have used "perfidious" to mean
"treacherous" since at least 1572. One of the earliest known uses of the
term can be found in Act V, scene iii of Shakespeare's All's Well That
Ends Well: the "perfidious slave" Parolles is thought to be an unreliable
witness; he'll say whatever suits his purpose, whether true or not.
In contemporary usage, "perfidious" not only implies treacherousness, but
an inability to be reliable or honorable.
