释义 | 〔Roberts〕American evangelist who has preached widely on tours and radio and television broadcasts.罗伯兹,奥雷尔:(生于 1918) 美国福音传道士,在各地巡回及通过收音机和电视节目传道〔bimbo〕"Bimbos had become major role models for young girls everywhere"(Ellen Goodman)“妓女已成为各地年轻姑娘仿效的主要社会形象”(埃伦·古德曼)〔tonic〕Generic terms for carbonated soft drinks vary widely in the United States.Probably the two most common words competing for precedencearesoda, used in the northeast United States, andpop, used from the Midwest westward. In the South all soft drinks,regardless of the flavor or brand name,are referred to ascold drinks. Speakers in Boston and its environs have a term of their own:tonic. Such a variety of regional equivalents is unusual for a product for which advertising is so aggressive and universal;usually advertising has the effect of squeezing out regional variants.On the other hand, because there are so many types and flavors of soft drinks,perhaps no single generic word has ever emerged to challenge the regionalisms.在美国,含碳酸饮料的名称各地截然不同。其中有两个词正竞争着统治地位,一个是用于美国东北部的soda, , 另一个是用于中西部以西的pop 。 在美国南部,所有的软饮料,不管味道或品牌如何,都统统叫作cold drinks 。 波士顿及其周围地区有其自己的名称:tonic 。 对于一种广告做得满天飞的产品来说,这种各地区名字不同的情况十分不寻常;因为广告通常有减弱方言的作用。另一方面,由于软饮料有如比多的种类和风格,所以可能还没有哪一个泛称能够取代这么多地方变体〔artery〕A major route of transportation into which local routes flow.See Synonyms at way 干线:连接各地道路的主要交通要道 参见 way〔anchorwoman〕A woman who narrates or coordinates a newscast in which several correspondents give reports.新闻节目主女持人:汇编各地新闻人员提供的资料并进行报道或评价的女主持人〔around〕To or among various places; here and there:各地:向或在不同地方;到处:〔globetrot〕To travel often and widely, especially for sightseeing.环球旅行:经常到各地旅行,尤指观光〔krummkake〕The Upper Midwest received a great influx of Scandinavian immigrants in the 19th century,and the English that these people learned was augmented by Scandinavian words for their native food and customs.Thus we havekrummkake, the name of a large, light, very thin Norwegian cookiemade from an egg-based batter poured into an embossed hinged iron similar to a waffle iron.Peeled off the iron while warm and pliable,each krummkake is then rolled around a cone-shaped metal tubeso that it hardens in that shapeand is filled with sweetened whipped cream.Krummkake is best known in the Upper Midwest,but the term is familiar elsewhere thanks to the inclusion of the recipe in nationally used cookbooks.美国中西部的北部地区在19世纪涌入了大批斯堪的纳维亚移民,他们在他们所学的英语中加入了食物和风俗方面的斯堪的纳维亚词语。这样就有了krummkake 这个词, 这是一种大而薄的淡色挪威糕点。它由以鸡蛋为主要材料成份的面糊倒入一个类似于烘饼铁钳模的雕花铰链式铁钳模而成。在它还温热和柔韧的时候把它从模子里取下来,然后把它包在一个圆锥形的金属管上,这样它变硬的时候就成了那个形状,再加入加糖的掼奶油。在中西部北部地区最为常见,但是由于在全国通用的烹调书都收进了这种方法,所以各地的人对这个词都很熟悉〔floater〕An insurance policy that protects movable property in transit or regularly subject to use in varying places.流动财产保险单:为保护流通中的动产或定期在各地使用的流动财产而投保的一种保险单〔golgotha〕A place or occasion of great suffering.各各地:遭受巨大痛苦的地方或时刻〔minstrel〕A medieval entertainer who traveled from place to place, especially to sing and recite poetry.吟游诗人:游历各地的中世纪表演者,尤指歌唱或背咏诗歌的演员〔smilodon〕Any of the large saber-toothed tigers of the genusSmilodon, widely distributed during the Pleistocene Epoch. 剑齿大虎:剑齿虎 属中长有税利长犬牙的老虎中的任意一种,在更新纪时广泛分布于各地 〔way〕"They had reached one of those very narrow passes between two tall stones" (George Eliot).Anartery is a main route for the circulation of traffic into which local routes flow: “他们已经到了两座高墙间的那些非常狭窄通道中的一个” (乔治·艾略特)。artery 是各地路线汇入其中的交通循环主干线: 〔anchorman〕A man who narrates or coordinates a newscast in which several correspondents give reports.新闻节目主播:汇编各地采访人员的报告并进行报道或评价的新闻节目广播员〔dragonfly〕Regional terms for the dragonfly are numerous, providing good evidence for dialect boundaries in the United States.The greatest variety of terms is to be found in the South,where the most widespread term issnake doctor (a name based on a folk belief that dragonflies take care of snakes).The Midland equivalent issnake feeder. Speakers from the Lower South, on the other hand, are more likely to refer to the same insect as amosquito hawk or, in the South Atlantic states, askeeter hawk. The imagery outside the South alludes more to the insect's shape than to its behavior or diet:Upper Northern speakers call it adarning needle or a devil's darning needle ; those in Coastal New Jersey, aspindle ; and Northern Californians, anear sewer. 各地对蜻蜓的许多不同叫法为美国的方言边界提供了很好的依据。对蜻蜓叫法最多的是南部,在那里最常用的是snake doctor (因民间认为蜻蜓照看蛇而得名)。中部有与此相应的叫法:snake feeder。 而南部较南端的人则通常把蜻蜓叫作mosquito hawk , 南大西洋诸州又把它称为skeeter hawk。 南部以外的其它地方更多地根据蜻蜓的外形而非行为或食物为之命名:北部较北端的人把它叫作darning needle 或 devil's darning needle ; 新泽西州海岸一带叫spindle ; 而北加利福尼亚人则叫ear sewer 〔through〕Here and there in; around:各处,到处;各地: |
