单词 | 一窍不通 |
释义 | 〔illiterate〕Ignorant of the fundamentals of a given art or branch of knowledge:无知的:对某种艺术或知识一窍不通的:〔izzard〕The curious formizzard, meaning "the letter z ,” sounds a lot like words such as lizard and gizzard. That's because izzard was probably modeled on them to form a humorous version of the name of the letter that appears as zed in Great Britain and ezed in Scotland. Izzard is practically limited to certain fixed regional expressions such as from A to izzard, "from beginning to end,” and not to know A from izzard, "not to know even the most basic things.” 奇特的词语izzard ,意为“字母 z ”,这个词听起来很像 lizard 和 gizzard 等单词。这可能因为 izzard 是模仿它们构成的字母(英语中的 zed ,苏格兰语中的 ezed )名称的幽默形式。 Izzard 实际上仅限于某些固定的区域词语,如 from A to izzard "从头到尾,彻底地"和 not to know A from izzard “连最基本的事情都不了解;一窍不通” 〔Greek〕Quantum mechanics is Greek to me.我对量子力学一窍不通〔illiterate〕musically illiterate.See Usage Note at literate 对音乐一窍不通的 参见 literate |
