| 释义 | 〔hydroxyl〕The univalent radical or group OH, a characteristic component of bases, certain acids, phenols, alcohols, carboxylic and sulfonic acids, and amphoteric compounds.羟基：单价原子团或羟团，是碱、一些酸、酚、醇、羧酸和硫酸及两性化合物的主要成分〔epicene〕Middle English [having only one form of the noun for either gender] 中古英语 [只有一个名词同时适用于两性的] 〔antifeminist〕Characterized by ideas or behavior reflecting a disbelief in the economic, political, and social equality of the sexes.反女权主义的：观点或行为表现出不相信男女两性在经济、政治和社会方面平等的〔unisex〕Designed for or suitable to both sexes:不分男女的：为两性设计的或适合两性的：〔unisex〕cultivated a unisex look.培养成兼两性外貌的〔brunette〕Brunette was for a long time used to denote a woman having a dark complexion; now it is used chiefly in reference to hair color.The general practice is to use the formbrunette to refer only to women, withbrunet as a less frequently used variant that can be applied as well to men and mixed groups. The distinction, like the one betweenblonde and blond, has been regarded as carrying sexist implications.In this case, however, it is difficult to see how the problem can be easily resolved.It is unlikely thatbrunette could be pressed into service as a neutral term, since the suffix-ette is too closely associated with marked feminine gender. Brunet is theoretically available for both sexes but is rarely applied to men, whose corresponding coloration is typically described simply as "brown.”It would, of course, be possible to usebrown for the hair color of both sexes, if only that word could be redeemed from the associations of drabnessthat led to the adoption of the substitutebrunette in the first place. See Usage Note at blond ,-ette Brunette 过去很长一段时间用来指肤色黝黑的女人； 现今多用于指头发的颜色。通常brunette 只指女人， 而不如其常用的变体brunet 可用于指男人和男女都有的群体。 两词的区别正如blonde 和 blond 的区别， 被看成带有性别的含意。即使如此也很难看出如何轻易地解决两词之间区别的这一难题。brunette 不可能被看成一个中性词， 因为后缀-ette 与女性紧密联系。 Brunet 从道理上来说适用于男人和女人，但很少用于指男人。 男人相应的肤色仅用brown表述即可。当然，brown 也可适用于指男女两性的头发颜色， 只要此词不再与卖淫联系在一起。正是由于这一联系brunette 才首先被用作替代词 参见 blond,-ette〔reindeer〕A large deer(Rangifer tarandus) of the Arctic and northern regions of Eurasia and North America, having branched antlers in both sexes. 驯鹿：北极、亚欧大陆和北美洲北部地区的一种大鹿（驯鹿） 雌雄两性都有分叉的鹿角 〔unisex〕Not distinguished or distinguishable on the basis of sex; androgynous in appearance:分不出男女的：以性为基础不能区分或不可区分的；外貌上兼两性的：〔epicene〕Sexless; neuter.无两性特征的；中性的〔epicene〕Belonging to or having the characteristics of both the male and the female:通性的：同时具有男性和女性的特征或属于两性的：〔amphoteric〕Having the characteristics of an acid and a base and capable of reacting chemically either as an acid or a base.两性的：具有酸和碱的特征的，既能作为酸又能作为碱进行化学反应的〔monoicous〕Having archegonia and antheridia on the same plant; bisexual.雌雄同株的：在同一株植物上有颈卵器和精子囊的；两性的〔androgynous〕"The diet and exercise cult was born of a desire to develop androgynous bodies that are more muscular than softly curved"(New York Times)“对饮食和运动的重视，是希望使两性的身体更强健有力，而不是柔软灵活”(纽约时报)〔sexual〕Of, relating to, involving, or characteristic of sex, sexuality, the sexes, or the sex organs and their functions.性的：（有关、包含）性、性欲、两性或性器官、性功能的或其有这样特征的〔ambisexual〕"The patterns also are available for men because[the designer] believes in ambisexual fashion" (Women's Wear Daily)“这些式样也适合男子，因为［设计者］ 相信适用于两性的时装潮流” (妇女时装日报)〔bisexual〕Of or relating to both sexes.两性的：两性的或与两性有关的〔ambisexual〕Sexually attracted to either sex indiscriminately.双性的：受两性性吸引的，对两性都有性欲的〔coed〕Open to both sexes:对两性都开放的：〔sex〕Either of the two divisions, designated female and male, of this classification.两性之一：这种分类中雌或雄两性中任一个〔polygamy〕-gamia [-gamy] -gamia [表示“结婚，两性结合”之意] 〔nudism〕The belief in or practice of going nude, especially in secluded, sexually mixed groups for reasons of health.裸体主义：信仰或实行裸体，尤指在隐蔽的两性混杂的群体中为了健康的原因〔worker〕A member of a colony of social insects such as ants, bees, wasps, or termites, usually a sterile female but often a sexually immature individual of either sex, that performs specialized work such as building the nest, collecting and storing food, and feeding other members of the colony.工蚁，工蜂：共生昆虫群中的一员，像蚂蚁、蜜蜂、黄蜂或白蚁，通常是不能生育的雌性，但经常也是两性中未成熟的个体，其行使像筑巢、收集和贮存食物等专门的工作，喂养共生群中的其他成员 |
