| 单词 | 兽群 |
| 释义 | 〔grex〕Latin [herd, flock] * see gregarious 拉丁语 [兽群，群] * 参见 gregarious〔pack〕A group of animals, such as dogs or wolves, that run and hunt together.See Synonyms at flock 1兽群：一起跑并一起追捕的一群动物，如狗或狼 参见 flock1〔flock〕A group of animals that live, travel, or feed together.兽群，鸟群：一群在一起生活、行进或取食的动物〔stampede〕The Spanish wordestampida, meaning "explosion, bang, crash, uproar,” seems very fitting to describe a rush of animals, such as buffaloes, horses, or cattle,and was so used first in American Spanish.From this use came our wordstampede (actually from the Spanishestampido, a masculine noun corresponding to the feminine estampida, first recorded in 1828). Thusstampede, now a general English word, is an Americanism, that is, a word or expression that originated in the United States.Later the United States was to see stampedes of miners who rushed westward to find gold.Not surprisingly, an early instance of this word to describe a stampede of human beings is found in theSan Francisco Herald in 1851. 西班牙语estampida 的意思是“爆炸，巨响，击碎，吼叫”， 似乎很适合形容兽群如野牛、马群或牛的惊跑，并且首先被使用于美国西班牙语中。由此就出现了我们的stampede （事实上源于与西班牙语estampida 相对应的 estampido ，于1828年首次被记录下来）。 因此，stampede ，一个目前很普遍的英语词，是一种美国英语， 也就是说来源于美国的一个单词或词组。后来，美国目睹了成千上万向西淘金的人群。1851年在旧金山的先驱 中出现了形容大批人群蜂拥而至的这个字就不足为怪了 〔herd〕A number of wild animals of one species that remain together as a group:兽群：作为一组放在一起的许多只某种野生动物：〔flock〕 Pack is applicable to any body of animals, especially wolves, or of birds, especially grouse,and to a body of hounds trained to hunt as a unit.It also refers disparagingly to a band or group of persons. Pack 适用于狼或鸟群等任何兽群，尤指松鸡，还可指一群作为一个整体训练以作打猎用的猎狗，也可指对一帮或一群人的蔑称。〔panic〕from Greek Panikos [of Pan (a source of terror, as in flocks or herds), groundless (used of fear)] 源自 希腊语 Panikos [潘神的（恐惧之源，如在鸟群或兽群中），没有理由的（用于害怕）] 〔draft〕A team of animals used to pull loads.驮重物的兽群队伍：用来拉重物的一群牲口 |
