| 单词 | 什么事情 |
| 释义 | 〔legend〕The wordslegend and legendary have come to be used in recent years to refer to any person or achievement whose fame promises to be particularly enduring, even if its renown is created more by the media than by oral tradition.Strictly speaking,there is nothinglegendary about the accomplishments of a major-league baseball star or the voice of a famous opera singer, since their accomplishments are documented in an extensive public record.But this new usage is common journalistic hyperboleand in such contexts is acceptable to 55 percent of the Usage Panel.近些年来，legend 和 legendary 这两个词已逐渐被用来指有希望成为享有持久名声的人物或成就， 即使它的名声是通过大众传媒炒作而不是人们口碑而取得的。从严格意义上说，对于棒球联合总会的棒球明星所取得的成绩或者一位著名的歌剧歌唱家的声音来说，根本就没有什么事情可以说是“传奇的” ， 因为他们的成就广为人知。但是，这种新用法是一种很常见的新闻夸张手法。用法委员会中55%的人认为可以在这种上下文中使用〔whatever〕Whatever happens, we'll meet here tonight.不管发生什么事情，我们今晚都在这儿碰头〔come〕What's coming down tonight?今晚发生了什么事情?〔temerity〕"In war nothing is impossible, provided you use audacity" (George S. Patton). “战争中没有什么事情是不可能的，只要你有胆识” （乔治·S·巴顿）。 |
