| 释义 | 〔demarcation〕a line of demarcation between two rock strata.两个岩层间的分界线〔border〕 Border refers either to the boundary line ( Border 也指分界线（ 〔shivaree〕Shivaree is the most common American regional form of charivari, a French word meaning "a noisy mock serenade for newlyweds"and probably deriving in turn from a Late Latin word meaning "headache.”The term, most likely borrowed from French traders and settlers along the Mississippi River,was well established in the United States by 1805;an account dating from that year describes a shivaree in New Orleans: "The house is mobbed by thousands of the people of the town, vociferating and shouting with loud acclaim . . . many[are] in disguises and masks; and all have some kind of discordant and noisy music, such as old kettles, and shovels, and tongs. . . . All civil authority and rule seems laid aside" (John F. Watson).The wordshivaree is especially common along and west of the Mississippi River, giving it an unusual north-south dialect boundary (most dialect boundaries run east-west in the United States).Alva L. Davis and Raven I. McDavid, Jr., callshivaree "one of the most widely distributed folk terms borrowed by American English from any European language.” Some regional equivalents arebelling, used in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio; horning, from upstate New York, Rhode Island, and western New England; andserenade, a term used chiefly in the South Atlantic states. Shivaree 是 charivari 这个词在美国的最普通的地方形式， charivari是个法语词，意思是“一种为新婚夫妇演奏的喧闹的嘲弄式小夜曲”，这个词本身可能是从一个意思为“头痛”的后期拉丁文演变而来。这个词极有可能是从密西西比河沿岸的法国商人和拓居者那儿借用而来，到了1805年这个词已经在美国深深地扎根了；一份可以追溯到这一年的记录描写了新奥良的演奏这种小夜曲的情况： “房子里挤满了成千从镇上来的人，喧嚷着，叫喊着，大声欢呼…许多人 化了装，带了面具，所有的人都搞出某种不和协、喧闹的音响，比如用旧水壶，铲子，钳子…一切世俗的权威和规则好象已经被放到了一边” （约翰F·华生） 。shivaree 这个词在密西西比河沿岸和该河以西尤为常见， 这样密西西比河就成了一个不寻常的方言区的南北分界线（而在美国大多数方言区的分界线都是东西向的）。阿尔瓦·L·戴维斯和小拉文·I·麦克戴维把shivaree 这个词称为“美国英语从欧洲语言中借来的民间用语中流传最广的一个”。 其它地方方言中相当于这个词的词有belling 在宾夕法尼亚州、弗吉尼亚西部和俄亥俄州流传； 纽约州上半部份，罗德岛州，新英格兰西部的horning ， 而大西洋沿岸南部各州主要用serenade 这个词 〔syncytium〕A mass of cytoplasm with many nuclei but no internal cell boundaries.多核体：有许多细胞核但内部没有细胞分界线的一团细胞质〔border〕The line or frontier area separating political divisions or geographic regions; a boundary.边境：政治划分或地理区域的分隔线或边界；分界线〔proportion〕Symmetry andbalance both imply an arrangement of parts and details on either side of a dividing line, butsymmetry frequently emphasizes exact or mirror-image correspondence of parts, whilebalance often suggests dissimilar parts that offset each other to make a harmonious and satisfying whole: Symmetry 和balance 都暗示在分界线两侧的局部或细节的安排， 但symmetry 常强调各部分精确或左右相反镜像的一致， 而balance 经常暗指通过相互抵消以形成和谐、令人满意的整体的不相似部分： 〔border〕Edge refers specifically to the precise bounding line formed by the continuous convergence of two surfaces: Edge 特指两个平面连续相关的点形成的精确分界线： 〔boundary〕A stone wall marked the boundary between the two farms.
