| 单词 | 围起 |
| 释义 | 〔crib〕A small building, usually with slatted sides, for storing corn.粮仓：贮存谷物用的四周用板条围起的小建筑物〔chase〕A privately owned, unenclosed game preserve.私人狩猎区：私人拥有的、未被围起的猎场〔rope〕To enclose, separate, or partition with or as if with a rope:用绳围起，用绳隔开：用或似用绳子围起、分隔或隔开：〔fence〕To enclose with or as if with a fence.See Synonyms at enclose 用或似用栅栏围起 参见 enclose〔form〕Figure refers usually to form as established by bounding or enclosing lines: Figure 常指按照限定或围起的线条成形： 〔circus〕The modern circus owes its name but fortunatelynot its regular program of events to the amusement of ancient times.The Latin wordcircus, which comes from the Greek word kirkos, "circle, ring,” referred to a circular or oval area enclosed by rows of seats for spectators.In the center ring, so to speak, was held a variety of events,including chariot races and gladiatorial combats, spectacles in which bloodshed and brutality were not uncommon.The first use ofcircus recorded in English, in a work by Chaucer written around 1380,probably refers to the Circus Maximus in Rome.Our modern circus, which dates to the end of the 18th century,was originally an equestrian spectacle as well,but the trick riders were soon joined in the ring by such performers as ropedancers, acrobats, and jugglers.Even though the circular shape of the arena and the equestrian nature of some of the performances are carried over from its Roman namesake,the modern circus, despite occasional accidental violence,has little connection with its brutal namesake of long ago.现代马戏团应把它的名称归因于古时候的娱乐，值得庆幸地不是归因于它的固定节目。拉丁文的circus 源于希腊文 kirkos “圆，环”， 指被容纳观众的座位围起的圆形或椭圆形场地。在称之为中央环地的场地中举行多种表演，包括战车赛跑和角斗，屠杀和残暴的景象并不少见。英语中记录的circus 的最早使用， 是在乔叟写于大约1380年的一本著作里，可能意指罗马的大竞技场。现代马戏团可追溯到18世纪末，最初也是马术表演，但走钢丝演员、高空杂技演员和杂耍演员很快在圆形场地中加入特技骑手的行列。尽管马戏场地的圆形形状和一些表演的马术实质是由罗马的同名物得到的，现代马戏团，尽管偶尔出现意外的暴力，与它久远以前残暴的同名物几乎没有关联〔basin〕An artificially enclosed area of a river or harbor designed so that the water level remains unaffected by tidal changes.内港，内湾：留作河流或港口专用的人工围起的区域，潮水变化不致使水位受影响〔claim〕Something claimed in a formal or legal manner, especially a tract of public land staked out by a miner or homesteader.申请产权：以正常或合法的方式提出的对某事物的要求，尤指矿工或定居移民用桩围起的一块公共土地〔chivvy〕from Cheviot Chase [a large unenclosed hunting tract in the Cheviot Hills] 源自 切维厄特猎场 [位于切维厄特丘陵中一块很大的未被围起的打猎地带] 〔ringed〕Encircled or surrounded by bands or rings.成圈的；被包围的：被条纹或环圈围起的或包围的 |
