单词 | 在屋内 |
释义 | 〔housecat〕A domestic cat kept as an indoor pet.家猫:饲养在屋内为宠物的本地猫〔stove〕A stove to us is something we expect to find in a room,but at one timea stove was a room,specifically, a room for taking a hot-air or steam bath (first recorded in 1456).Around 1545 the word is recorded with reference to another room, such as a bedroom, heated with a furnace.The devices used to heat these rooms came to be calledstoves as well, a use first found sometime between 1550 and 1625.Of course, heating devices that we would callstoves had long been in existence, going back to Roman times.However, the stove as the chief cooking device, taking the place of the fireplace, dates only to around the mid-19th century with the widespread use of wood-burning or coal-burning cooking stoves.对于我们来说,火炉是我们可以在屋内找到的东西,但是有一段时间,这种东西指的是一个房间,尤其是取得热空气或供蒸汽浴的房间(首次记载于1456年)。1545年前后,该词又记载了另一含义,指另一种带有火炉取暖的房间,如卧室。这些屋内用于取暖的器具也被称作stoves, 该用法首次发现于1550年到1625年间。当然,我们称为stoves 的加热器具已经很久以前就存在了, 可以上溯到古罗马时期。但是,该词代替壁炉成为主要的烹饪器具只能追溯到19世纪中期,那时以木材或煤作燃料的烹饪火炉得到大规模地推广使用 |
