| 释义 | 〔Torquemada〕Spanish Dominican monk who was appointed grand inquisitor by Pope Innocent VIII (1487). Under his authority, thousands of Jews, suspected witches, and others were killed or tortured during the Spanish Inquisition.托尔克马达，托马斯·德：(1420-1498) 西班牙多米尼加派教士，1487年被教皇英诺森八世任命为宗教总裁判官。在其统治期间，在西班牙宗教大审判中，成千上万的犹太人，被怀疑为巫婆和其他人一起遭到杀害〔alight〕The sky was alight with millions of stars.成千上万颗星星照亮了天空〔stampede〕The Spanish wordestampida, meaning "explosion, bang, crash, uproar,” seems very fitting to describe a rush of animals, such as buffaloes, horses, or cattle,and was so used first in American Spanish.From this use came our wordstampede (actually from the Spanishestampido, a masculine noun corresponding to the feminine estampida, first recorded in 1828). Thusstampede, now a general English word, is an Americanism, that is, a word or expression that originated in the United States.Later the United States was to see stampedes of miners who rushed westward to find gold.Not surprisingly, an early instance of this word to describe a stampede of human beings is found in theSan Francisco Herald in 1851. 西班牙语estampida 的意思是“爆炸，巨响，击碎，吼叫”， 似乎很适合形容兽群如野牛、马群或牛的惊跑，并且首先被使用于美国西班牙语中。由此就出现了我们的stampede （事实上源于与西班牙语estampida 相对应的 estampido ，于1828年首次被记录下来）。 因此，stampede ，一个目前很普遍的英语词，是一种美国英语， 也就是说来源于美国的一个单词或词组。后来，美国目睹了成千上万向西淘金的人群。1851年在旧金山的先驱 中出现了形容大批人群蜂拥而至的这个字就不足为怪了 〔lawyering〕"Thousands of individual practitioners and small firms do most of the lawyering in this country"(Newsweek)“成千上万的个体律师和小公司已掌握了这个国家的大部分律师业”(新闻周刊)〔milliard〕from milion [million] * see million 源自 milion [成千上万] * 参见 million〔Bernadotte〕Swedish diplomat who as a leader of the Swedish Red Cross (1943-1948) helped save thousands of people from Nazi concentration camps. As United Nations mediator in Palestine (1948) he attempted to end Israeli-Arab hostilities but was assassinated by Israeli terrorists.贝纳多特，福尔克：(1895-1948) 瑞典外交家，做为瑞典红十字会的领导人（1943-1948年）曾帮助营救了成千上万的人逃离纳粹集中营。做为联合国驻巴勒斯坦的调停者（1948年），他努力争取结束以色列和阿拉伯人之间的敌对，但被犹太复国主义者暗杀〔interact〕"More than a dozen variable factors could interact, with their permutations running into the thousands"(Tom Clancy)“一打以上的可变因素可以相互作用，使它们的排列成成千上万”(汤姆·克兰西) |
