释义 | 〔agenda〕It is true that Cicero would have usedagendum to refer to a single item of business before the Roman Senate, with agenda as its plural. But in Modern English a phrase such asitem on the agenda expresses the sense of agendum, andagenda is used as a singular noun to denote the set or list of such items, as inThe agenda for the meeting has not yet been set. If a plural ofagenda is required, the form should be agendas: The agendas of both meetings are exceptionally varied. 在罗马元老院之前西塞罗确实就已经在用agendum 来指一个议事日程,而用 agenda 作为复数。 但是在现代英语中item on the agenda 这个短语表达了 agendum 的意义, 同时agenda 作为单数名词意为“一组或一列项目”, 如:The agenda for the meeting has not yet been set(会议议程尚未确定)。 如果需要用agenda 的复数,应该用 agendas: The agendas of both meetings are exceptionally varied(两会议议程迥然不同)。 〔sash〕Alteration of French châssis [frame (taken as pl.)] * see chassis 法语 châssis的变化 [框架(作为复数)] * 参见 chassis |
