| 释义 | 〔krewe〕In order to organize and stage the enormous Mardi Gras carnival every year,many New Orleans families have belonged for generations tokrewes, groups that create elaborate costumes and floats for the many Mardi Gras parades in the two weeks leading up to "Fat Tuesday.”Not only do the krewes participate in the parades,but, as leaders of New Orleans society,they also hold balls and other elaborate events during the carnival season,which lasts from Christmas up to Mardi Gras itself.The krewes are responsible for electing Rex,the annual king of the carnival,whose parade is the climax of Mardi Gras.While masked paraders had long been a part of Mardi Gras,the first carnival group organized as such was the Mystick Krewe of Comus in 1857.Krewe is only a fanciful spelling of crew in its standard meaning, but the word, thanks to its association with Mardi Gras and New Orleans high society,has taken on some of the mystique of the carnival.为了组织和筹划每年盛大的大斋日前夜狂欢节，许多新奥尔良家庭世世代代都属于krewes 这种团体。 这些团体要在“油腻的星期二”来临前的两周，制作华丽服装和彩车供狂欢节游行使用。克鲁的成员们不仅参加游行，作为新奥尔良的上层人物，他们还要在狂欢节节期举行舞会和其它盛大的活动，这从圣诞节一直延续到大斋首日的前一天。克鲁成员还要选出一个Rex，即每年狂欢节的国王，他的游行是整个大斋首日前夜的高潮。化妆游行长期以来一直是大斋首日前夜狂欢节的一部份，而第一个这种狂欢节团体在1857年才建立，名叫“科摩斯神秘的群体”。Krewe 这个词是对普通意义的 crew 这个词一个花哨的拼法， 但是这个词由于与大斋首日前夜狂欢节和新奥尔良的上流社会联系在一起，便带上那个狂欢节的一些神秘气氛〔sneak〕"In the dressing room beforehand, while the NBC technician was making me up, Jesse Jackson snuck up behind me and began playfully powdering my face" (Bruce Babbitt). “在后面的化妆室中，当国家广播电台的技术人员正在为我化妆，杰西·杰克逊悄悄地溜到我身后，开始嬉皮笑脸地给我脸上打粉” （布鲁斯·巴比特）。 〔facemask〕A protective or disguising cover for the face, often enveloping the entire head:面具，面罩：为了保护或化妆而盖在脸上的覆盖物，常把整个头部裹住：〔domino〕A costume consisting of a hooded robe worn with an eye mask at a masquerade.化妆斗篷面具：有眼面具，在化妆舞会上穿着的连帽化妆斗篷〔geezer〕A relationship with a word we know well is disguised in the wordgeezer. A clue to this relationship is found in British dialect.TheEnglish Dialect Dictionary defines geezer as "a queer character, a strangely-acting person,” and refers the reader toguiser, "a mummer, masquerader.” The citations forguiser refer to practices such as the following: "People, usually children . . . go about on Christmas Eve, singing, wearing masks, or otherwise disguised,”the last word of this passage being the one to whichgeezer is related. 我们非常了解的与一个单词的联系即在于单词geezer 。 这种联系的线索发现于英国方言中。英语方言辞典 定义 geezer 为“一个奇怪的人，一个行为怪异的人”， 并且让读者参考guiser， “化妆舞会，假面舞会”。 guiser 的例句指出了一些活动， 例如：“大人，通常是孩子…戴着面具或以其他化妆方式在圣诞前夜走出去唱歌。”这段文章的最后一个单词即是geezer 与之有关的那一个 〔whiteface〕White facial makeup:白脸：白色面部化妆：〔maquillage〕Cosmetic or theatrical makeup.日常化妆或剧场化妆〔costumer〕One that makes or supplies costumes, as for plays or masquerades.服装提供者：制造或提供服装的人，例如为戏剧或化妆舞提供服装者〔paint〕To apply cosmetics to.化妆：把化妆品涂于…〔facial〕facial cosmetics; facial hair.脸部的化妆；脸毛〔foundation〕A cosmetic used as a base for facial makeup.粉底：脸部化妆前用的一种化妆品〔maquillage〕from Middle Dutch maken [to make] * see mag- 源自 中古荷兰语 maken [化妆] * 参见 mag- 〔blackface〕An actor wearing such makeup in a minstrel show.唱黑人歌曲的黑人歌手：在黑人歌唱团表演中如此化妆的演员〔henna〕A reddish-orange dyestuff prepared from the dried and ground leaves of this plant, used as a cosmetic dye and for coloring leather and fabrics.指甲花染料：从该种植物的干的碎叶片中提炼出的一种棕红色染料，用于化妆或为皮革和纤维染色〔disguise〕To modify the manner or appearance of in order to prevent recognition.假扮，化妆：改变举止或外表以便不让人认出来〔masquerade〕To wear a mask or disguise, as at a masquerade:化妆，扮成：在假面舞会上戴假面具或伪装：〔make〕To alter one's appearance for a role on the stage, as with a costume and cosmetics.化妆：为在舞台上的角色而改变某人的外表，例如用服装或化妆品〔krewe〕Any of several groups with hereditary membership whose members organize and participate as costumed paraders in the annual Mardi Gras carnival:克鲁：一些成员为世袭的团体，它们的成员组织并作为化妆游行者参加每年一度的大斋日前夜狂欢节：〔whiteface〕a mime performing in whiteface.化妆成白脸表演的小丑〔blackface〕Makeup for a conventionalized comic travesty of Black people, especially in a minstrel show.扮演黑人的化妆：滑稽模仿黑人的传统喜剧的化妆，尤其是在黑脸歌唱团表演中〔costume〕Dressed up as a gigantic chicken, she won the prize for the best costume.化妆成一个巨大的鸡，她因此获得最佳服装奖〔garish〕garish makeup.See Synonyms at gaudy 1艳丽的化妆 参见 gaudy1〔wig〕An artificial covering of human or synthetic hair worn on the head for personal adornment, as part of a costume, or to conceal baldness.假发：戴在头上的人发或人工合成的头发覆盖物，作为化妆的一部分或掩盖秃头〔mask〕A cosmetic preparation that is applied to the face and allowed to dry before being removed, used especially for cleansing and tightening the skin.面膜：涂在脸上的化妆前用品，干后除去，用以清洁和缩紧皮肤〔lotion〕Any of various externally applied cosmetic liquids.洗液：几种外用的化妆液体 |
