释义 | 〔how〕How about a cup of tea? How about that storm last night?来一杯茶怎么样?昨天晚上的风暴是怎样的情况?〔tomato〕It has been said that the real contributions to world civilization were made by the unknown inhabitants of the Americas who domesticated plants such as the potato and squash and not by the great pre-Columbian civilizations, including that of the Aztecs.The tomato was another contribution,its name coming ultimately from the Nahuatl language spoken by the Aztecs as well as by other groups in Mexico and Central America.The Spanish, who conquered the area, brought back the tomato to Spain and,borrowing the Nahuatl wordtomatl for it, named ittomate, a form shared in French, Portuguese, and early Modern English.Tomate, first recorded in 1604, gave way totomato, a form created in English either because it was assumed to be Spanish or under the influence of the wordpotato. In any case,as is well known,people resisted eating this New World food at first because its membership in the Nightshade family made it suspect,but it is now eaten throughout the worldwhile Aztec civilization is memorialized by ruins.据说对世界文明真正作出贡献的并非是包括阿兹特克文明在内的哥伦布到达前的美洲文明,而是那些家庭种植土豆、南瓜等的不知名的美洲居民。西红柿是其中的另一贡献,它的名字最终的来源是阿兹特克人和其他墨西哥和中美洲居民使用的纳瓦特尔语。征服了该地区的西班牙人把西红柿带回了西班牙,并且借用了纳瓦特尔语的单词tomatl , 把它称作tomate , 这个形式为法语、葡萄牙语和早期现代英语所通用。Tomate ,最早记录于1604年, 后来被英语中诞生的一个形式tomato 所取代。 取代的原因可能是因为形式上更象西班牙语或是因为受单词potato 的影响。 不管怎么样,就像我们知道的,由于它属于茄科使它受到怀疑,人们起初拒绝吃它,不过现在全世界的人们都在吃西红柿,而阿兹特克文明都只存在于废墟之中了〔what〕What would occur if; suppose that.假设;如果…将会怎么样〔trick〕Used to make a friendly inquiry about a person or that person's affairs.怎么样:用来友好地询问某人的情况或事务〔anyhow〕In whatever way or manner; however:无论怎么样:不论用何种方法或方式;无论怎么样:〔we〕How are we feeling today?各位今天感觉怎么样?〔worse〕For better or worse, he trusts everyone.不管怎么样,他相信每个人〔how〕What is your thought, feeling, or desire regarding:…怎么样:关于…你的想法、感觉或期望是什么:〔how〕In what state or condition:怎么样:处于什么状态或情况:〔that〕She said that under no circumstances would she allow us to skip the meeting.她说怎么样都会让我们参加会议。〔how〕How is she today?她今天怎么样? |
