单词 天亮
释义 〔agin〕The spelling ofagin reflects both the raised vowel before a nasal consonant, typical of Southern dialects, and a reduced final consonant cluster, typical of several regional varieties.Agin has a wide spectrum of senses in the regional speech of those who pronounce it this way. Indeed, these regional senses are tied to the pronunciation,for standard Englishagainst does not quite capture the full implication of the assertion "I'm agin him" — that is, "opposed to him and all that he stands for.”Another regional sense recalls the original literal Old English sense of "facing; next to" (see the first four senses ofagainst in the Oxford English Dictionary), where standard English would haveby: Their house is agin the mountain.Agin may be used figuratively with regard to time chiefly in South Midland dialects,meaning "by or before (a specified time)”: "I'll be there agin daylight" (North Carolina informant in DARE).词汇agin 的拼写既反映了典型的南部方言──鼻辅音前的元音的提高, 又反映了压缩的后辅音群──几种典型的地方变体的特征。Agin 在它被如此发音的地方方言有广泛的意思。 确实,这些地域意义是和读音联系在一起的,因为标准英语中against 没有完全表达 "I'm agin him" 所隐含的意义── 即“反对他及他所代表的一切。”另外一个地域意义使人想起古英语中最初的文学用语“面对;紧靠着”(参阅《牛津英语词典》中against 的前四个释义), 而在标准英语中应该用by: 傍山而建的房屋。Agin 主要在中南部方言中可以比喻地用来表示时间,意思是“到或在…(特定时间)前”: “天亮前我可到达” (美国区域英语词典的北卡罗来纳提供资料者)〔rise〕We rose at dawn.我们天亮时就起身了。〔until〕We danced until dawn.我们跳舞一直跳到天亮〔rise〕rose at dawn.天亮时就起床了〔party〕That night we partied until dawn.那晚我们痛饮到天亮
