| 释义 | 〔diversiform〕Having different forms; variform.各式各样的：具有不同形式的；各种形式的〔noise〕For those who find that too much noise makes them ill,it will come as no surprise that the wordnoise possibly can be traced back to the Latin word nausea, "seasickness, feeling of sickness.” Our wordsnausea and noise are doublets, that is, words borrowed in different forms from the same word.Nausea, first recorded probably before 1425, was borrowed directly from Latin.Noise, on the other hand, first recorded around the beginning of the 13th century, came to us through Old French,probably ultimately from Latin,which explains its change in form.The unrecorded change in sense probably took place in Vulgar Latin.Old Frenchnois, descended from Latin nausea, meant "sound, din, uproar, quarrel,” all senses that came into Middle English with the word.Noise, however, is an example of how words can change for the better, for a noise can be pleasantas well as unpleasant,as in the sentence "The only noise was the wind in the pines.”对那些发现太多的嘈杂声使他们很不舒服的人来说，无须惊奇词语noise 很可能可以追溯到拉丁语 nausea “晕船，不舒服的感觉”。 词语nausea 和 noise 是同源词， 也就是说这两个词是同一单词的不同形式。Nausea 第一次记录也许在1425年以前， 它直接来自于拉丁语。另一方面，noise 大约在13世纪初第一次记录下来， 在古法语中使用，可能最终源自拉丁语，这解释了它的形式变化。这种意义上讲未被记录的变化可能在民间拉丁文中。古法语nois 从拉丁语 nausea “声音，嘈杂声，喧嚣，吵闹”转变过来， 所有意义都随此词进入中世纪英语。然而noise 是一个词语如何演变向更好的方面的例子， 因为一种声音可能是悦耳的，也可能是不悦耳的，如在句子"The only noise was the wind in the pines"中〔triformed〕Having three different forms or parts.三形的：有三种不同形式或有三个不同部分的〔adolescent〕The adolescent grows up to become the adult.The wordsadolescent and adult that refer to these two stages in the human life cycle ultimately come from forms of the same Latin word, adolēscere, meaning "to grow up.” The present participle ofadolēscere, adolēscēns, from which adolescent derives, means "growing up,” while the past participleadultus, the source of adult, means "grown up.” Appropriately enough,adolescent, first recorded in English in a work written perhaps in 1440, seems to have come into the language beforeadult, first recorded in a work published in 1531. 青少年成长为成年人。adolescent 及 adult 这两个词都表示人类生命循环中的两个阶段，并且始终都来自于同一个拉丁词 adolescere 的不同形式，意为“成长”。 现在分词形式的adolescere--adolescens 产生出 adolesent ，表示“正在成长的”， 而其过去分词adultus 则为 adult 的语源，意为“已经长大的”。 很恰当地是，adolescent 约于1440年首次用于英语作品中， 似乎比首次于1531年刊登在一作品中的adult 一词要早出现在英语语言中 〔gene〕A hereditary unit that occupies a specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an organism. Genes exist in a number of different forms and can undergo mutation.基因：在一个染色体中占据一定位置的一种遗传个体，它决定有机体组织的特殊特征。基因以好多种不同形式出现，能发生变异〔reading〕The specific form of a particular passage in a text:不同形式，特定措辞：文章中特定段落的具体形式：〔polytypic〕Having several variant forms, especially subspecies or varieties.多态的，多亚种的：具有几种不同形式的，尤指亚种或种类的〔take〕To obtain as an equivalent in a different form:获得平衡：作为一种不同形式的对等物取得： |
