| 释义 | 〔fidelity〕Loyalty implies a steadfast and devoted attachment that is not easily turned aside: Loyalty 意为不易动摇的、坚实不移的信条： 〔trig〕Being in good condition.良好的，坚实的：处于良好的状态的〔banal〕The pronunciation ofbanal is not settled among educated speakers of American English. Sixty years ago, H.W. Fowler recommended the pronunciation BAN-al (rhyming withpanel ), but this pronunciation is now regarded as recondite by most Americans:it is preferred by only 2 percent of the Usage Panel.Other possibilities are BANE-al (rhyming withanal ), preferred by 38 percent of the Panel; ba-NAL (rhyming withcanal ), preferred by 46 percent; and ba-NAHL (the last syllable rhyming withdoll ), preferred by 14 percent (this last pronunciation is more common in British English).Some panelists admit to being so vexed by the problem that they tend to avoid the word in conversation.Speakers can perhaps take comfort in knowing that any one of the last three pronunciations will have the support of a substantial minority, and that none of them is incorrect.When several pronunciations of a word are widely used,there is really no right or wrong one.单词banal 的发音在受过教育的讲美式英语的人中并未固定下来。 六十年前，H.W.福勒曾建议其发音为BAN-al（与panel 押韵）， 但大多数美国人认为这一发音是晦涩难懂的：它只得到“惯用法专题研究小组”中2%成员的偏爱。另外可能的发音有BANE-al（与anal 押韵），得到38小组成员的认可； ba-NAL（与canal 押韵）得到46的认可； ba-NAHL（最后一个音节与doll 押韵），得到14的认可 （这最后一个发音在英国英语中更为常用）。一些小组成员承认，这个词的发音令他们太伤脑筋了以至他们在说话时尽量避免使用它。当使用者得知最后三个发音中的任何一个都有较为坚实的少数票的支持，且它们中的任何一个都不是错误的，也许会给他们一些安慰。当一个单词的几种发音都被广泛使用时，便的确无所谓对错了〔flush〕Direct, straightforward, or solid:直接的、正面的或坚实的：〔tight〕Firmly; securely.坚实地；牢固地〔consolidate〕solidāre [to make firm] from solidus [firm] * see sol- solidāre [使坚实] 源自 solidus [坚实的] * 参见 sol- 〔substance〕That which is solid and practical in character, quality, or importance:内容：坚实的质地、特征或重要性：〔base〕a skyscraper built on a base of solid rock.建筑在坚实岩石基础上的摩天高楼〔staunch〕Having a strong or substantial construction or constitution.坚实的：有牢固或结实的结构或组织的〔footless〕Lacking a firm support or basis; unsubstantial.无基础的：缺乏坚实的支撑或基础的；不充实的〔opinion〕"Our belief in any particular natural law cannot have a safer basis than our unsuccessful critical attempts to refute it" (Karl Popper).“我们对于任何自然规律的坚信都不能象我们怀着不可能的愿望去推翻它那样有一个坚实的基础” （卡尔·波尔）。〔consolidate〕To make firm or coherent; form into a compact mass.使合并：使…结实或聚合在一起；使…形成坚实块体〔tramp〕To walk with a firm, heavy step; trudge.踩、踏：用坚实、沉重的步子走；步覆艰难地走〔detract〕They could detract little from so solid an argument.他们从这如此坚实的论证中几乎挑不出一点儿毛病〔display〕a shrub that displays hardiness.长得很坚实的灌木〔tendency〕"The tendency of our own day is . . . towards firm, solid, verifiable knowledge" (William H.
