单词 | 出现频率 |
释义 | 〔decile〕Any one of the numbers or values in a series dividing the distribution of the individuals in the series into ten groups of equal frequency.十分位数:指把一系列的数字或价格按相等的出现频率分成十组后的其中任何一个数字或价格〔race〕A population of organisms differing from others of the same species in the frequency of hereditary traits; a subspecies.亚种:在遗传特征的出现频率上和同一种类的其它生物不同的生物总体;亚种〔father〕The verbfather has come to be used widely to mean specifically to "perform the child-rearing functions of a father,”particularly in the gerundfathering, as inFathering a step-child takes considerable tact and understanding. This usage reflects the same social changes that have led to the analogous use of the verbparent and has met with the same kinds of critical resistance.In the most recent surveythe example cited was rejected by 64 percent of the Usage Panel.A problem particular to this use offather is that it may occasion opportunities for humorous misconstruction,since it is in direct competition with the older sense of "beget.” ·It is notablethat the analogous use ofmother as a verb meaning specifically "to perform the child-rearing functions of a mother" is encountered only rarely.It is likely that the discrepancy in the frequency of these new uses ofmother and father reflects the fact that recent writers on family life have tended to place more emphasis on a reconceptualization of the traditional paternal role in child-rearing.See Usage Note at parent 动词father 被广泛应用, 尤指“履行一个父亲养育孩子的职责”,特别是动名词fathering, 如在抚育养子得花费巨大的心智和理解 。 这种用法反应了引起动词parent 相似用法的同样社会变化, 并遭到了同样的批评反对。在最近的调查中,引用的例子被用法专题使用小组64%的成员反对。特别对于father 这种用法的一个问题是, 它可能会引起幽默的误解,因为它直接与旧观念的“生育”冲突。值得注意的是,mother 作为动词的相似用法意思特指“履行一个母亲生养孩子的职责”, 这种用法很少见。看起来mother 和 father 这些新用法出现频率的不一致反映了一个事实, 那就是近期家庭生活题材的作者们倾向于将更多的重点放在重新定义父母在抚养孩子上所充任的传统角色 参见 parent〔trigraph〕A group of three letters, especially of frequent occurrence in a given language, asthe or ing in English or gli in Italian. 三字母的字母组合:由三个字母紧连的字母群,尤指在某一给定语言中出现频率很高的字母群,如英语中的the 或 ing ,意大利语中的 gli |
