Paley)“他是一个优秀新闻工作者,并具备诸方面条件”(威廉S.佩利)〔bear〕"A thousand different shapes it bears"(Abraham Cowley)“它具备有上千种不同的形状”(亚伯拉罕·考利)〔masterful〕According to a widely repeated dictum,masterful should be reserved for the sense "imperious, domineering,” as ina masterful tone of voice, whereasmasterly should be the choice when the intended sense is "having the skill of a master,” as ina masterly performance of the sonata. The distinction is a nicety that some writers will want to continue to observe.But the use ofmasterful in the latter sense has long been common in reputable writing and cannot be regarded as incorrect.根据广为强调的权威意见,masterful 应限于“支配的、专横的”的含义。 例如,一种专横傲慢的语调, 而如果想指“具备精通者的技艺”,则应该选用masterly 。 例如,一场奏鸣曲的精湛演出 。 一些作家会继续遵守这个细微区别。但在后一种含义上使用masterful 在一些享有声望的作品中也一直常见, 因此不能被看作是不准确的〔sport〕One known for the manner of one's acceptance of rules, especially of a game, or of a difficult situation:大度的人:由于接受规则或在困难情境下所具备的风度而闻名的人,特别是游戏中:〔bolide〕"a world-class sports car—quick, agile, lively—in short, everything car magazines . . . have ever wanted in a bolide of this type"(Automobile)“一种世界级的赛车——快速、敏捷、灵活——简而言之,这种火流星型的汽车具备…汽车杂志所要求的所有特性”(汽车)〔argillite〕A metamorphic rock, intermediate between shale and slate, that does not possess true slaty cleavage.厚层泥岩:一种变质岩,在页岩与板岩之间,不具备真正的板块解理〔harlot〕Harlot is first recorded in English in a work written around the beginning of the 13th century, meaning "a man of no fixed occupation, vagabond, beggar,” also the first main sense of the word herlot, which we borrowed from Old French. The recorded history of a word is sometimes all we need to scotch conjectures as to its ultimate origins. William Lambarde, in a 1570-1576 work, suggested that the word harlot came from the name of Arletta, or "Harlothe,” William the Conqueror's mother. As we have seen, Lambarde was unnecessarily besmirching her, for the history of harlot makes clear that "prostitute" was not its first sense. In fact, the word came to mean "male lecher" before it meant "prostitute,” but by the time Lambarde wrote, "prostitute" must have been thought to have been the main sense of the word, hence his etymology. Harlot 在英语中首次出现于某部创作于约13世纪初的作品中,意指“没有固定职业的人,流浪者,乞丐,”这也是 herlot 一词由古法语转借而来的第一个主要意思。单词的历史记载通常可供我们推测该词的最初渊源,威廉·兰巴德在他于1570年到1576年间创作的作品中指出: harlot 一词来自于英王威廉一世的母亲阿莉塔或“哈洛特”的名字,我们知道,兰巴德并无需玷污英王母亲的名誉,因为 harlot 一词的历史很明白地表明“妓女”之意并非该词的第一个意思,实际上,该词在意为“妓女”之前所具备的意思是“好色的男人”,但在兰巴德创作之时,“妓女”一定已经被认为是该词的主要意思,这便是它的词源 〔menu〕An enormous menu might be considered an oxymoronif one were to restrict the word etymologically.Menu can be traced back to the Latin word minūtus, meaning "small in size, amount, or degree"and also "possessing or involving minute knowledge.”Latinminūtus became Old French menut and Modern French menu, "small, fine, trifling, minute.” The French adjective came to be used as a nounwith the sense of "detail, details collectively,” and "detailed list.”As such, it was used in the phrasemenu de repas, "list of items of a meal,” which was shortened tomenu. This word was borrowed into English,being first recorded in 1837.The French word had been borrowed before,perhaps only briefly,as a shortening of the French phrasemenu peuple, "the common people.” This usage, however, is recorded in only one text, in 1658.“一个庞大的菜单”这一说法可能会被看成是一种矛盾的修辞法,如果人们从语源学角度对这个词进行限制的话。Menu 这个词的词源可上溯到拉丁词 minutus, 意为“尺寸、数量或程度小的”,或者“具备或涉及到精细知识的。”这个拉丁词minutus 而后又成为古法语单词 menut 和现代法语单词 menu, 意为“小的、精巧的、琐碎的、详细的。” 这个法语形容词逐渐被用作名词,意为“细节、诸多细节”及“详细的名单”。就这样,它被用于词组menu de repas, 意为“一张菜肴明细单”, 后来这个词组又被简略为menu。 这个简略词被引入英语中,最早出现于1837年。这个法语单词以前也曾被英语借用过,但也许只用了很短一段时间,而且是作为意为“普通民众”的法语词组menu peuple 的简略词。 然而这一用法仅在1658年的一篇文章中出现过〔equal〕Having the requisite qualities, such as strength or ability, for a task or situation:胜任的:具备所需要的条件,如体力或能力,以应付一项工作或局面:〔homegrown〕Originating in or characteristic of a locality:土生的:发源于某地或具备某地特征:〔Frankenstein〕The wordFrankenstein has taken on a life of its own, somewhat like the monster created from parts of corpses by the Swiss student Frankenstein, whose name serves as the title of Mary Shelley's novel, published in 1818. People have persisted in calling the monster Frankenstein;in fact, the first recorded use of the name as a common noun in 1838refers to mules as "Frankensteins.”The word has gone on to refer to "a monster having the appearance of a man" and "an agency that slips from the control of and ultimately destroys its creator.”Since most people have given the name of the novel's protagonist to his creation,Frankenstein's monster has, in a sense, destroyed its creator.单词Franerstein 有些象瑞士学生弗兰肯斯泰因(此名成为1818年出版的玛丽·雪莱小说的书名)从部分死尸器官所造的怪物一样,已经具备了自己的生命力。 人们坚持将那个怪物称作弗兰肯斯泰因;实际上此词于1838年第一次用作普通名词,把顽固的人称作“弗兰肯斯泰因”。此词后来演变为指“人形怪物”和“脱离创造者的控制并最终毁灭其创造者的媒介”。因为多数人把小说中主角的名字转借给了他的创造物,所以,从某种意义上说,弗兰肯斯泰因创造的怪物已经毁灭了他本人〔sterile〕These adjectives in literal usage mean not producing or unable to produce offspring; figuratively they suggest a lack of productiveness.To besterile is to be incapable of reproducing; by extension the term implies a lack of vitality, creativity, or effectiveness: 这些形容词字面意义是不育的或无能力生育的;比喻意义为不具备多产性的。Sterile 指无繁殖能力的, 其扩充涵义为缺乏生气、创造性或影响力的: 〔materialize〕To assume material or effective form:实质化;具体化:具备物质的或实际的形式:〔perfect〕Perfect has often been described as an absolute term like chief and prime, hence not allowing modification bymore, quite, relatively, and other qualifiers of degree. But the qualification ofperfect has numerous reputable precedents (most notably in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution in the phrase"in order to form a more perfect Union" ). What is more, the stricture is philosophically dubious.There can be no mathematically perfect forms in nature;therefore to say that any actual circle is "perfect"can mean only that it approximates the geometric ideal of circularity,a quality that it can obviously have to a greater or lesser degree.By the same token,perfect freely allows comparison in examples such as There could be no more perfect spot for the picnic, where it is used to mean "ideal for the purposes.”See Usage Note at complete ,equal ,parallel ,unique Perfect 常被描述成诸如 chief 和 prime 的绝对术语, 因此不能跟more、quite或relatively 等修饰词及其它程度限定词。 但是对perfect 的限定可有大量规范的前饰词 (最突出的例子是在美国宪法的引言部分"in order to form a more perfect Union" )。 但是,这种限定在哲学上来说是模糊的。自然界中不可能有数学般标准的形式;因此要说任何既定的圆是“绝对的”,都只意味着近似于理想状态的几何圆,这显然只能是或多或少具备的特性。同样地,perfect 在一些例子如 那儿应该是更适合野餐的地方 中任意地允许比较, 此处意为“达到意图的理想方式” 参见 complete,equal,parallel,unique〔probity〕"He was a gentlemanly Georgian, a person of early American probity"(Mary McGrory)See Synonyms at honesty “他是一个绅士型的佐治亚人,一个具备早期美国德行的人”(玛丽·麦格罗里) 参见 honesty〔soul〕The animating and vital principle in human beings, credited with the faculties of thought, action, and emotion and often conceived as an immaterial entity.精神:人类所具备的有生命力以及充满生机的本性,具有思考、行动以及感情等能力,通常被认为是永恒的实体〔semiskilled〕Possessing some skills but not enough to do specialized work:半熟练的:具备一些技术但不是以做专门工作的:〔sophisticated〕Having acquired worldly knowledge or refinement; lacking natural simplicity or naiveté.老于世故的:具备世故的知识或精细的;缺乏自然的单纯或天真幼稚的〔greasy〕In the Southern states the adjectivegreasy and the verb grease are pronounced with a (z) rather than with an (s) sound. This pronunciation is so stable and so characteristic of Southern dialectsthat dialect scholars use it to trace the migration of Southern speakers into other dialect areas,such as southern Indiana.在美国南部各州,形容词greasy 和动词 grease 都按(z)发音而不是(s)。 这一发音是如此稳定和具备南方特色,以至于方言学家用其来追踪讲南方方言者到其它方言区,如南印第安纳的迁移〔passionate〕Capable of, having, or dominated by powerful emotions:热情的:能付出强烈感情的,具备强烈感情的或受强烈感情支配的:〔necessary〕Needed to achieve a certain result or effect; requisite:必不可少的:达到某种目的而必需具备的;必要的:〔need〕"a place where the three grand requisites of water, fuel and fodder were to be obtained" (James Fenimore Cooper).See also Synonyms at lack “三种主要必需品,水、燃料和草料都具备的地方” (吉姆斯·费尼莫尔·库珀) 参见同义词 lack〔bleed〕It seems only common sense thatbleed should be related to blood, but one needs some knowledge of historical linguistics to understand the relationship fully.In prehistoric Common Germanic, the hypothetical predecessor of Germanic languages such as English, German, and Swedish,the word.blōdha-, "blood,” the ancestor of our word blood, is assumed to have existed. From this noun was derived the verb.blōdhjan, "to bleed.” A change of sound then came into play in Old English, that is, thej, pronounced like the y in your, caused the vowelō, pronounced as in go, to become pronounced like the ö in German schön. Later in Old English thisō changed to ē, pronounced like the a in labor, eventually becoming like thee in bee by 1500. By this change, as well as others,.blōdhjan became Modern English bleed. 根据常识bleed 好象应该和 blood 联系在一起, 但要想全面理解这种关系,应具备一些历史语言学的知识。在史前日耳曼共同语,即日耳曼语言(如英语、德语和瑞典语)的假设前任语言中,我们使用的单词blood 源于 blodha- 意为“血”,被认为已经存在了。 从这一名词派生出动词blodhjan, 意为“流血”。 发音的改变出现于古英语中,即j, 发音与 your 中的 y 相似, 引起go 中的元音 ō 变得如德语 schon 中的 ö 。 后来在古英语中ō 变为 ē, 发音如 labor 中的 a, 最后在1500年前变得如bee 中的 e 。 通过这种变化,以及其他变化,blodhjan 成为了现代英语的 bleed 〔honesty〕Rectitude is moral righteousness both in principle and in practice: Rectitude 是指在原则和实践上均具备的道德正义感: 〔clerical〕Of, relating to, or characteristic of the clergy.教士的,牧师的:神职人员的、与之相关的或具备其特征的〔natural〕One having all the qualifications necessary for success:天才人选:具备成功所必须的一切资格的人:〔fraught〕"a work so full with various learning fraught"(John Dryden)“需要具备各种知识才能完成的工作”(约翰·德赖登)〔qualified〕Having the appropriate qualifications for an office, a position, or a task.有资格的:具备职务、职位或任务所需的适当的资格的〔able〕The constructionable to ascribes to its subject the ability to accomplish the action expressed in its complement: 词组able to 表示其主语具备完成补充成分里所提到的行为的能力: 〔inanimate〕Not having the qualities associated with active, living organisms; not animate.See Synonyms at dead 无活力的:不具备与活跃的、有生命的机体相关的一些特质的;无生气的 参见 dead〔nubile〕Ready for marriage; of a marriageable age or condition. Used of young women.适合结婚的:准备结婚的;具备结婚年龄或条件的。用于年轻女子 |
