| 释义 | 〔town〕In spirited pursuit of the entertainment offered by a town or city.积极地寻求镇或城市的娱乐活动〔burgeon〕Burgeon has gained greater acceptance in recent years in its use to mean not just "to put forth buds" but more generally "to grow and flourish.” In 1969 only 49 percent of the Usage Panel accepted the phrasethe burgeoning population of Queens ; in our most recent survey 74 percent accepted the same phrase.However, it should be noted that in this useburgeon is more acceptable when it takes the form of the present participle. Only 29 percent of the current Panel accepts the sentence News programs are less expensive to produce than entertainment series, and the public's appetite for them has burgeoned. Burgeon 一词近年来有了更广泛地使用，它不仅用来表示“生长发芽”更普遍地用作“生长并繁茂”。 1969年只有百分之四十九的用法专题使用小组成员承认短语the burgeoning population of Queens（女王时代的人口膨胀） ； 在最近的调查中对同一短语有百分之七十四的人接受。然而，值得注意的是，当burgean 一词在以现在分词形式被使用时，其更能被接受。 仅有百分之二十九的现有小组成员接受如下句子 新闻节目的制造要比一系列的娱乐活动经济实惠，并且公众对此的口味也已急速发展起来 〔playwear〕Garments suitable for recreational activities.轻便服：适合于娱乐活动的服装〔votary〕"The almighty dollar, that great object of universal devotion throughout our land,seems to have no genuine devotees in these peculiar villages" (Washington Irving).Ahabitué regularly frequents a place, especially one offering a particular pleasurable activity: “那看起来在我们全部领土上令人一致献身的伟大物质——全能的美元，在这奇怪的村庄里看起来没有真正的追随者” （华盛顿·欧文）。habitue 固定地爱去某个地方， 尤指提供特定的娱乐活动的地方： 〔determinant〕"Education is the second most important determinant of recreational participation"(John P. Robinson)“教育是参与娱乐活动的第二位最重要的决定因素”(约翰P.罗宾逊)〔bathe〕To go into the water for swimming or other recreation.游泳；戏水：入水游泳或做其它娱乐活动〔floorshow〕A series of entertainments presented in a nightclub.歌舞表演：夜总会提供的一系列娱乐活动〔pastime〕Sailing is her favorite pastime.驾帆船是他最喜爱的娱乐活动〔tattoo〕A display of military exercises offered as evening entertainment.夜间野外军事演习：作为夜间一种娱乐活动的军事演习表演〔casino〕A public room or building for gambling and other entertainment.娱乐场：用作赌博和其它娱乐活动的公共房间或者建筑物〔indiscriminating〕entertainment aimed at an indiscriminating audience.面向所有人的娱乐活动〔host〕Host was used as a verb in Shakespeare's time, but this usage was long obsoletewhen the verb was reintroduced (or perhaps reinvented) in recent yearsto mean "perform the role of a host.”The usage occurs particularly in contexts relating to institutional gatherings or television and radio shows,where the person performing the role of host has not personally invited the guests to his or her own establishment (thus it would be odd to sayThis evening we are hosting a dinner party at our house for my husband's cousins from New York ). Perhaps because the verb involves a suspect extension of the traditional conception of hospitality,it initially met with critical resistance.In a 1968 surveyonly 18 percent of the Usage Panel accepted the usage in the sentenceThe Cleveland chapter will host this year's convention. Over time, however,the usage has become increasingly well establishedand appears to serve a useful purpose in describing the activities of one who performs the ceremonial or practical role of a host (in arranging a conference or entertainment, welcoming guests, and so forth).In our most recent survey53 percent of the Panelists accepted the usage in the phrasea reception hosted by the Secretary of State. The verb is less well accepted when used to describe the role of a performer who acts as a master of ceremonies for a broadcast or film,where the relation of the word to the notion of "hospitality" is stretched still further.Only 31 percent of the Panel accepted the use of the verb in the sentenceStudents have watched Sex, Drugs and AIDS, a graphic film hosted by actress Rae Dawn Chong. · The verbcohost has likewise become well established in its use to refer to those who collaborate in assuming responsibility for an occasion. Fifty-eight percent of the Usage Panel accepted this use in the sentenceThe Department of Architecture and the Department of History will be cohosting a reception for conference participants. Host 一词在莎士比亚时代用作动词， 但自那时起这一用法很长时间不用了，直到近年来又被重新起用（或者可能重新创造），用来表示“担当主人的角色”。这一用法尤其在学术聚会或电视、电台节目的情况下使用，在这些情况下，身为主人的人并没有以私人身份邀请客人去到他或她自己的家中，（这样的话，如果我们说今天晚上我们将在家中为我丈夫来自纽约的表兄妹‘主办’一个晚餐会 就会觉得有点别扭）。 也许是因为有人认为这一动词用法会扩大传统的“好客”概念，所以一开始它就遭到了批评性抑制。在1968年的一次调查中，用法专题使用小组中18%的成员在如下句子中的用法，即克利夫兰分会将主办本年度的大会。 但是，随着时间的推移，这一用法已逐渐被接受，并在描绘一个担当司仪或具体的主人任务（例如安排会议或娱乐活动，欢迎客人等等）时起到了很好的作用。在我们最近一次的调查中，用法专题使用小组中的53%的成员接受了短语由国务卿出面举办的招待会 中"host"一词的用法。 但当这一动词用法用来描绘作为广播节目或电影节目的主持人的主持工作时，人们就不太接受其用法，因为这样用，这个词与“好客”这一概念的关系就更松了。只有31%的用法专题使用小组成员接受host在句子学生们观摩了 由 演员雷·唐·宗主持解说的纪录片 ‘性、毒品与艾滋病’”中的动词用法。 同样，用来表示分工合作共同举办某一活动的动词cohost 也已被普遍接受。 58%的用法专题使用小组成员接受这一动词在如下句子中的用法：建筑系和历史系将共同为与会者举办一次招待会 〔impresario〕One who sponsors or produces entertainment, especially the director of an opera company.制作人，经理人：发起或举行娱乐活动的人，尤指歌舞剧团的经理〔fun〕A source of enjoyment, amusement, or pleasure.娱乐活动：给人以娱乐、享受或快乐的活动〔showtime〕The time at which an entertainment, such as the showing of a movie, is scheduled to start.开演时间：一项娱乐活动计划开始的时间，如电影开映〔play〕To occupy oneself in amusement, sport, or other recreation:玩耍，游戏：使自己从沉浸于娱乐、体育运动或其它娱乐活动中：〔coliseum〕A large amphitheater for public sports events, entertainment, or assemblies.竞技场：一种大型的举行公共体育竞赛、娱乐活动或集会的圆形剧场或竞技场〔gala〕A festive occasion, especially a lavish social event or entertainment.节日庆祝活动：节日期间的活动，尤指愉快热烈的社会事件或娱乐活动〔feast〕A large, elaborately prepared meal, usually for many persons and often accompanied by entertainment; a banquet.宴会：精心准备的大筵席，通常有很多人参加，并有娱乐活动；酒席〔midway〕The area of a fair, a carnival, a circus, or an exposition where sideshows and other amusements are located.娱乐场，游乐场：在商品交易会、狂欢节、马戏团或展览会所在地提供杂耍表演和其它娱乐活动的地方〔bullfight〕A public spectacle, performed especially in Spain, Portugal, and parts of Latin America, in which a fighting bull is engaged in a series of traditional maneuvers culminating usually with the ceremonial execution of the bull by sword. In Portugal the bull is often fought from horseback and is not killed.斗牛：一种公众性的娱乐活动，在西班牙，葡萄牙和一些拉美国家盛行，其中斗牛要做一系列的传统表演，当进行到用剑将牛杀死的仪式时，活动达到高潮。在葡萄牙，牛总是同马背上的人相斗且不被杀死 |
