| 释义 | 〔upgrade〕To exchange a possession for one of greater value or quality; trade up.以旧货换高价新货：换回比所给出的财物价值或质量更高的东西；以一物折价换进同类中较贵的事物〔parity〕Equality, as in amount, status, or value.相等，等值：如在数量、地位或价值上相等〔arrowroot〕The arrowroot is just one of many plants that the European settlers and explorers discovered in the New World.The Arawak, a people who formerly lived on the Caribbean Islands and continue to inhabit certain regions of Guiana, named this plantaru-aru, meaning "meal of meals,” so called because they thought very highly of the starchy, nutritious meal made from the arrowroot.The plant also had medicinal value because its tubers could be used to draw poison from wounds inflicted by poison arrows.The medicinal application of the roots provided the impetus for English speakers to remakearu-aru into arrowroot, first recorded in English in 1696. Folk etymology—the process by which an unfamiliar element in a word is changed to resemble a more familiar word,often one that is semantically associated with the word being refashioned—has triumphed once again,thus denying us the direct borrowing ofaru-aru and giving us arrowroot instead. 竹芋仅是欧洲探险家和拓荒者在新大陆发现的多种植物中的一种。曾居住在加勒比海各岛，现仍在圭亚那部分地区居住的阿拉瓦克人把这种植物称为aru-aru 意思是“餐中餐”， 这样称呼是因为他们非常看重这种用竹芋粉做成的淀粉状的，非常有营养的食物。这种植物同时还有医疗价值，因为其块茎可用来从毒箭箭伤处把毒吸出来。这种植物的医疗作用促使讲英语的人重新将aru-aru 命名为 arrowroot ，1696年首次在英语中予以记载。 词的通俗变化就是比较陌生的词被比较熟悉的词所替代的过程，常常是被一个语义上与被翻新的词有联系的词。这里，通俗词汇学又一次取得胜利，不允许我们直接借用aru-aru ，而是另给了我们一个 arrowroot 。 〔worship〕Middle English worshipe [worthiness, honor] 中古英语 worshipe [价值，名望] 〔improve〕To increase the productivity or value of (land or property).提高价值：提高（土地或地产）的生产力或者价值〔sacrifice〕Relinquishment of something at less than its presumed value.损失，亏本：某物以低于其预定价值的让渡〔erosion〕erosion of the beach; progressive erosion of confidence in our legal system; erosion of the value of the dollar abroad.海岸的腐蚀；对我们司法体制信心的逐步削弱；海外美元价值的贬低〔opener〕openers Cards of sufficient value to enable the holder to open the betting. openers 开牌：有充分价值的能使玩牌者开局的牌〔assess〕To determine the value, significance, or extent of; appraise.See Synonyms at estimate 评价：评估某事物的价值，意义或程度；评估 参见 estimate〔demonetize〕To divest (a coin, for example) of monetary value.使失去货币资格：剥夺（如，硬币）作为货币的价值〔dignity〕Inherent nobility and worth:高贵：遗传的高贵身份和价值：〔lower〕To reduce in value, degree, or quality.减低：在价值、程度或素质上减弱〔pay〕a pay streak.含有开采价值的矿层〔estimation〕The amount, extent, position, size, or value reached in an estimate.评估的结果：通过判断得出的数量、程度、等级、大小或价值〔appreciation〕Awareness or delicate perception, especially of aesthetic qualities or values.欣赏：意识或灵敏的感知力，尤其指审美品质或价值〔unsell〕To persuade not to believe in the advisability, worth, or truth of something.动摇某人：劝说…不去相信某事的明智，价值或真实〔utilitarian〕Exhibiting or stressing utility over other values; practical:实用的：显示或强调实用比其他价值更高的；实际的：〔cadastre〕A public record, survey, or map of the value, extent, and ownership of land as a basis of taxation.土地清册：一种公共的记录、 测量或地图，作为征税的凭据来表示土地的价值、范围和所有权〔advance〕An increase of price or value.涨价，增值：价格或价值方面的增长〔mythos〕The pattern of basic values and attitudes of a people, characteristically transmitted through myths and the arts.主题：人们基本的价值和态度模式，以神话和艺术传播为特征〔choose〕"We do not choose survival as a value; it chooses us" (B.F.

See Usage Note at practicable Impracticable 用于不可能实行或行不通的动作过程；impractical 虽然也能这样用， 但也有较弱意思的用法，指动作过程能产生不足的回报或者几乎没有实际的价值。如果建筑地点过于湿软而不能保证稳固的建筑，那么修建棒球体育场的计划就可能因其impracticable （不可行）而遭到反对； 但是如果反对的理由仅仅是场址太偏远而使得爱好者们不能轻易到场观看比赛的话，这个计划还是应该被看成是impractical（不切实际的） 参见 practicable〔multimillionaire〕One whose financial assets are worth several million dollars.千万富翁：拥有价值数百万元美元资产的人〔marketplace〕A situation or place in which values, opinions, and ideas are put forward for debate or recognition:交流场所：提出价值、观点或想法以供讨论或认同的处所或地点：〔write〕To overstate the value of (assets).对资产高估：过高估评（一笔资产）的价值〔pennyworth〕As much as a penny will buy.价值一分或一便士的东西〔subpar〕Not measuring up to traditional standards of performance, value, or production.不够标准的：低于工作情况、价值或生产之常规标准的〔topaz〕A colorless, blue, yellow, brown, or pink aluminum silicate mineral, often found in association with granitic rocks and valued as a gemstone, especially in the brown and pink varieties.黄晶，黄玉：一种无色，蓝色，黄色，褐色或粉色的硅化铝矿石，常常与花岗岩伴生并具有宝石的价值，特别是其中的褐色和粉红色种类〔cut〕A step in a scale of value or quality; degree:级别，度：价值或质量范围的等级；度：〔injure〕Faulty intonation marred the performance.
