| 释义 | 〔senate〕Senate The upper house of the U.S. Congress, to which two members are elected from each state by popular vote for a six-year term. Senate 参议院：美国议会的上院，由每州通过公民投票选出两名任期六年的参议员组成〔meltdown〕"After several corporate meltdowns, only two reporters remain in[the] bureau" (David Fitzpatrick)“经历了几次灾难之后， 分局只剩下了两名记者” (戴维·菲茨帕特里克)〔fortuitous〕In its best-established sense,fortuitous means "happening by accident or chance,” with no implication as to the desirability of the outcome:a fortuitous meeting may have either fortunate or unfortunate consequences. In this century, however, the word is often used with particular reference to happy accidents,as inThe company's third-quarter profits were enhanced as the result of a fortuitous drop in the cost of RAM chips. This use may have arisenbecausefortuitous resembles both fortunate and felicitous; it is well established in the writing of reputable authors.More controversial is the use offortuitous to mean simply "lucky or fortunate,” as inHe came to the Giants in June as the result of a fortuitous trade that sent two minor-league players to the Reds' organization. This use dates back at least to the 1920's,when H.W. Fowler labeled it a malaproprism.It is still widely regarded as incorrect,and writers who are unwilling to risk censure are advised to avoid it.从最公认的意义上说，fortuitous 的意思是“偶然发生的”， 不暗示结果是否称心：临时会议 可以有好或坏的结果。 然而在本世纪这个词常用于专指好的事件，如内存条价格的意外下降导致了公司第三季度利润的增加。 这种用法可能出现，因为fortuitous 类似于 fortunate 和 felicitous； 它用于有名望的作家的写作中。更有争论的用法是fortuitous 的含义为“幸运的或好运的”时， 如一次幸运的送两名小社团的运动员去红色组织的交易使他在六月去了巨人国。 这种用法至少可追溯到20世纪20年代，当时H.W.弗劳尔把它标作一个可笑的用法错误。现在这种用法仍被广泛地认为是错误的，建议不愿冒险受指责的作者避免使用〔wrestling〕A sport in which two competitors attempt to throw or immobilize each other by grappling.摔跤：一项体育运动，其中两名对手通过格斗试图把对方扔出去或摔倒对方〔censor〕One of two officials in ancient Rome responsible for taking the public census and supervising public behavior and morals.监察官：古罗马负责人口调查、监察人民行为和社会风尚的两名官员之一〔tackle〕Either of the two line players on a team positioned between the guard and the end.阻截队员：站位处于后卫和边锋之间的两名线上队员中的一名〔consul〕Either of the two chief magistrates of the Roman Republic, elected for a term of one year.（古罗马）执政官：罗马共和国的两名主要执政官中的一名，由选举产生，任期一年〔racquets〕A game played on a large, netless, four-walled court by two or four players with long-handled rackets and a hard, fast-moving ball 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) in diameter.网拍墙球戏：由两名或四名选手在一个大的、无网的、四面有墙的场地玩的一种游戏，使用一长柄球拍和一个直径1英寸(2.5厘米）的快速飞动的硬球〔take〕Two snipers took out an enemy platoon.两名狙击手消灭了敌人一个排〔halfback〕One of the two players positioned near the flanks behind the line of scrimmage.中卫：在争球线之后靠近侧翼的并列两名队员之一〔handball〕A game similar in scoring to volleyball that is played by two or more players who hit a ball against a wall with their hands usually while wearing a special glove.墙手球运动：一种类似于排球的比赛运动，两名或更多的运动员用他们的手将一个球击向墙壁，运动员的手上都带着特殊的手套〔cover〕Two reporters covered the news story.两名记者负责报导这则新闻〔platoon〕platooned the two catchers.交替使用两名接手〔jump〕jumped over two others with more seniority.越过另外两名职位高的人而晋升〔single〕A golf match between two players.双人高尔夫赛：在两名选手间进行的高尔夫球比赛〔poker〕Any of various card games played by two or more players who bet on the value of their hands.扑克牌戏：一种纸牌游戏，由两名或更多的在其手中牌的价值上下赌的人玩的〔single〕Often singles A tennis or badminton match between two players. 常作 singles 单打：在两名选手间进行的网球或羽毛球比赛〔racquetball〕A game played on a four-walled handball court by two or four players with short-handled rackets and a hollow rubber ball 2¼ inches (5.7 centimeters) in diameter.网拍墙球：在四面有墙的手球场内由两名或四名选手玩的一种游戏，使用一种短柄球拍和一个直径2¼英寸(5.7厘米）的空心橡皮球〔joust〕A combat between two mounted knights or men-at-arms using lances; a tilting match.马背长矛打斗：两名骑马的骑士或士兵之间用长矛进行的打斗；持矛的比武〔quinella〕A system of betting in which the bettor, in order to win, must pick the first two finishers of a race, but not necessarily in the correct sequence.赌前两名：一种赌博规则，为了获胜，赌博者必须挑选出比赛的前两名到达终点者，但不必按正确的顺序 |
