| 释义 | 〔revanche〕A usually political policy, as of a nation or an ethnic group, intended to regain lost territory or standing.复仇战：一种普通的政治策略，如一个国家或一民族团体，意在收复失去的领土或地位〔naive〕 Naive suggests the simplicity of nature;it sometimes connotes a credulitythat impedes effective functioning in a practical world: Naive 意在表示本性的单纯；有时它有轻信的意思，在现实生活中有时阻碍有效的工作： 〔sarcasm〕A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.讥讽：一种措辞巧妙的话语，以运用讽刺性语言为特征，意在使被讥讽者成为被人蔑视或讽刺的对象〔brickbat〕The earliest sense ofbrickbat, recorded in a work first published in 1563, was "a piece of brick.” Such pieces of brick have not infrequently been thrown at others in the hope of injuring them;hence, the figurativebrickbats (first recorded in 1929) that critics hurl at performances they dislike. The appearance ofbat as the second part of this compound is explained by the fact that the word bat, "war club, cudgel,” developed in Middle English the sense "chunk, clod, wad,” and in the 16th century came to be used specifically for a piece of brick that was unbroken on one end.brickbat 最早的意义记录在1563年首次出版的一部著作中，意为“一块砖。” 这样的砖块常用来投掷他人，意在将人打伤；因此，含比喻意义的brickbats （1929年第一次被记录下来）指批评家抨击他们厌恶的表演。 bat 一词作为这一复合词的第二部分出现可用下列事实来解释，即意为“警棍，短棒”的 bat 一词在中世纪英语中发展为“厚块、泥块、软团”的意思， 16世纪被用来特指一端没有破损的砖块〔precision〕Used or intended for accurate or exact measurement:精密的：用于或意在进行精确或准确测量的：〔counterconditioning〕Conditioning intended to replace a negative response to a stimulus with a positive response.对抗条件反射作用：意在用肯定反应代替对某刺激产生的否定反应的条件反射作用〔counterterror〕Action or strategy intended to counteract or suppress terrorism.反恐怖主义行动，反恐怖主义策略：意在抵消或压制恐怖主义的行动或策略〔period〕Perhaps more than once one may have wonderedwhy the wordperiod has the sense "punctuation mark ( . )” as well as some of its other senses having to do with time.The answer to this question lies in the senses of the Greek wordperiodos from which our word is descended. Periodos, made up of peri-, "around,” and hodos, "way,” meant such things as "going round, way round, going round in a circle, circuit,”and with regard to time "cycle or period of time.”The word also meant "the period of menstruation.”In rhetoric it referred to "a group of words organically related in grammar and sense.”The Greek word was adopted into Latin asperihodos with only its rhetorical sense and one other sense,but in Medieval Latin it reacquired senses it had in Greek,such as "cycle,” and acquired a new sense,"a punctuation mark used at the end of a rhetorical period.”Although this sense is recorded in Medieval Latin,it is not recorded in English until 1609.But the wordperiod had entered Middle English from Medieval Latin and Old French, first being recorded in a work written around 1425in the sense "a cycle of recurrence of a disease.”或许任何人都会不止一次的发出疑问，为什么period 有“标点符号（。）”的意思， 同时其它意思与时间有关。此问的答案来自我们的单词源自的希腊语单词periodos 的意思。 Periodos ，由意为“周围”的 peri- 和意为“方式”的 hodos 组成， 该词意味着“围绕…走，围绕…的路，转圈走，围绕，”同时也指时间，意为“一段时间或时间周期”。此词也意为“经期”。在修辞学中指“一组在语法和词意上有机相连的词。”这个希腊词作为perihodos 被拉丁文所采用， 仅带有修辞和一个其他的意思，但在中世纪拉丁语中它重新得到了它在希腊语中的意思，例如“周期”，后来又得到一个新的意思，即“用于修辞部分末尾的标点符号”。尽管此意在中世纪拉丁语中有记载，但直到1609年才在英语中有记载。而period 从中世纪拉丁文和古法语中进入中世纪英语， 并首次记载于约1425年所著的作品中，意为“疾病发作的周期”〔stealthy〕Marked by or acting with quiet, caution, and secrecy intended to avoid notice.See Synonyms at secret 秘密的：以安静、谨慎和秘密为特征的、或这样行动的、意在避免注意的 参见 secret〔counteroffensive〕A large-scale counterattack by an armed force, intended to stop an enemy offensive.反攻：由武装部队进行的大规模反击，意在阻止敌人进攻〔wile〕A stratagem or trick intended to deceive or ensnare.See Synonyms at artifice 诡计，奸计：意在骗人或陷害人的计谋或花招 参见 artifice〔individuality〕choices that were intended to express his individuality; monotonous towns lacking in individuality.意在表现他个性的选择；缺乏个性的单调城镇〔counterterror〕Intended to prevent or counteract terrorism:意在避免或抵制恐怖主义的：〔covenanter〕Covenanter A Scottish Presbyterian who supported either of two agreements, the National Covenant of 1638 or the Solemn League and Covenant of 1643, intended to defend and extend Presbyterianism.
