释义 | 〔negative〕"Life is full of overwhelming odds. You can't really eliminate the negatives but you can diminish them"(Art Linkletter)“生活充满了无法抵挡的机会,你不可能真正地消灭那些消极的因素,但是你能削弱他们”(阿特·林克莱特)〔slatch〕In New Englandaslatch can be a lull between breaking waves or a lull in a high windstorm.Its use is recorded as far back as the 17th century: "Whan it hath beene a sett of foule weather and that there comes an Interim . . . of faire weather . . . they call it a little Slatch of faire weather" (Nomenclator Navalis).Occurrence of the word in both its senses,formerly in Britainand now in New England,attests continuous use down through the centuries of the Old English wordslæc, which is pronounced today as it was in Old English.Slæc is also the source of modern slack, the relationship ofslatch and slack being evidenced in the use of slatch in 17th-century nautical parlance to denote the slack part of a rope or cable on a ship. 在新英格兰,slatch 可能是中断的波浪之间的平静, 也可能是强烈风暴中的平静。它有记载的使用可以追溯到17世纪: “当一段坏天气中出现一阵…好天气时…他们把它叫做一小强烈风暴间的好天气” (诺曼克莱特·那瓦利斯)。这个词出现在这两个意思中,以前在英国使用,现在是在新英格兰,这证明了古英语中sloc 这个词经历几个世纪的不断的使用, 它现在的发音与它在古英语中的发音一样。Sloc 还是现代英语中 slack 这个词的词源, 17世纪航海用语中用slatch 这个词来表示船上绳索松散的部分,这清楚地表明了 slatch 与 slack 这两个词之间的联系 〔Dioscuri〕Castor and Pollux, the twin sons of Leda and brothers of Helen and Clytemnestra, who were transformed by Zeus into the constellation Gemini.狄奥斯库里的:卡斯托耳与帕洛克斯,勒达的孪生儿子,海伦和克莱特姆内斯特拉的兄弟。它们被宙斯变成双子星座〔Graham〕American dancer and choreographer.
