单词 | 很平静 |
释义 | 〔stanch〕"My anxiety is stanched; I am at peace"(Scott Turow)See Usage Note at staunch 1“我的焦虑减轻了;我很平静”(斯科特·图罗) 参见 staunch1〔holocaust〕When referring to the massive destruction of human beings by other human beings,holocaust has a secure place in the language. Fully 99 percent of the Usage Panel accepts the use ofholocaust in the phrase nuclear holocaust. Sixty percent accepts the sentenceAs many as two million people may have died in the holocaust that followed the Khmer Rouge takeover in Cambodia. But because of its associations with genocide,extended applications ofholocaust may not always be received with equanimity. When the word is used to refer to death brought about by natural causes,the percentage of the Panel's acceptance drops sharply.Only 31 percent of the Panel accepts the sentence holocaust 在指人类之间大规模的杀害时用法稳定。 百分之九十九的用法专题使用小组成员接受holocaust 在 nuclear holocaust 中的用法。 百分之六十的成员接受在红色高棉组织接管柬埔寨之后,高达两百万的民众死于那场大屠杀 。 但由于它和种族灭绝有一定联系,人们并不总能很平静地接受holocaust 的引申用法。 当用这个词表示由于自然灾害引起的死亡时,用法小组接受的百分比明显下降。只有百分之三十一的成员同意这样的用法: 〔affright〕"Many of nature's greatest oddities, that would affright dwellers up here, are accepted down there"(David Mazel)“许多自然界奇闻怪事使这里的居民惊恐万分,会被别处的居民很平静地接受”(戴维·梅泽尔) |
