单词 | 倒转 |
释义 | 〔reverse〕Causing backward movement:倒转的:引起向后运动的:〔invert〕To reverse the position, order, or condition of:使倒转:使…的位置、次序或条件倒转:〔disembogue〕des- [reversal] from Latin dis- * see dis- des- [反向,倒转] 源自 拉丁语 dis- * 参见 dis-〔reversal〕The act or an instance of reversing.倒转,颠倒:颠倒或翻转的行为或实例〔ravel〕To say that we will ravel the history ofravel is an ambiguous statement, given that history. Ravel comes from the obsolete Dutch verbravelen, "to tangle, fray out, unweave,” which comes in turn from the nounravel, "a loose thread.” We can see the ambiguity ofravel already in the notion of a loose thread, because threads can be loose when they are tangled or when they are untangling.The Dutch verb has both notions present in it,denoting both tangling and unweaving.In one of its earliest recorded uses in English (before 1585)the verb means "to become entangled or confused,”and in 1598 we find a use in the sense "to entangle.”But in 1611 the word is used with reference to a fabricin the sense "to fray out,”and in 1607 in the sense "to unwind, unweave, or unravel.”In 1582 we already have an author using the word in a figurative way to mean "to take to pieces or disentangle,”while in a work written before 1656 we have a figurative instance of the sense "to entangle or confuse.”Clearly there was a need for the wordunravel, which is first found in 1603, but strangely enoughit did not solve the problem,ravel retaining up to this day both "entangling" and "disentangling" senses. 说我们要解开ravel 这个词的历史, 只要“历史”的意思不变,这种说法本来就是含糊的。 Ravel 这个词来源于意为“纠缠,磨损掉,解开”的废荷兰语动词ravelen, 而这个词又是从意为“一束松线”的名词ravel 衍生而来的。 在这个意思中,我们已经能看到ravel 的双重意思, 因为一团线缠起来或被解开后都有可能松散。荷兰语的这个词两个意思都有,既指缠起来又指松开。 (1585年前)这个词在英语中第一次使用时,它是“变得纠缠在一起、和含混不清”的意思,1598年我们又发现了“使缠在一起”的意思。但1611年当这个词用于指纺织品时,它却是“使散开”的意思,1607年它的意思是“倒转,松开,打开。”1582年有一位作家已经使用这个词的比喻义“散成一片片或分开”,而在一部写于1656年前的著作中,又有“缠紧,弄混”的比喻意义。毫无疑问,出现于1603年的unravel 这个词有必要的存在, 但非常奇怪的是,这并没有解决ravel 这个词直到现在还有“缠紧”和“分开”这两个意思 〔delude〕dē- [de-] dē- [前缀,表示“倒转”] 〔over〕From an upward position to an inverted or reversed position:翻转地,反面地:从上方倒转或相反的位置:〔return〕Reversing or changing direction.倒转或改变方向的〔reverse〕inverted and aired the mattress;倒转并为弹簧床垫充气;〔conversion〕from Latin conversiō conversiōn- [a turning around] 源自 拉丁语 conversiō conversiōn- [倒转] 〔retrograde〕Opposite to the usual order; inverted or reversed.颠倒的:与通常顺序相对的;倒转的或颠倒的〔reverse〕reversed the paintings for a more satisfying effect. Toinvert is basically to turn something upside down or inside out, but the term may imply placing something in a reverse order: 倒转绘画品以得到更满意的效果。 Invert 基本含义是指把某物倒置或里面转到外面, 但此词可能意指以相反顺序放置某物: 〔version〕Deflection of an organ, such as the uterus, from its normal position.倒转术:使一个器官,比如子宫的以前的位置发生倒转〔rewind〕To reverse the winding of (recording tape or camera film).倒回:倒转(录音带或电影胶卷)的卷绕〔reverse〕Transpose applies to altering position in a sequence by reversing or changing the order: Transpose 意指通过倒转或改变顺序来改变次序上的位置: 〔inversion〕The act of inverting.倒置,倒转:颠倒的动作〔trichiasis〕A condition of ingrowing hairs about an orifice, especially ingrowing eyelashes.倒睫,倒生毛:在某一孔洞周围的毛发向内倒转生长的状态,特指睫毛向内倒转生长〔converse〕Latin conversus [past participle of] convertere [to turn around] * see convert 拉丁语 conversus convertere的过去分词 [使…倒转] * 参见 convert〔backspin〕A spin that tends to retard, arrest, or reverse the linear motion of an object, especially of a ball.回旋:使一个做直线运动的物体减速、停滞或倒转的一种旋转,尤指一个球 |
