单词 | 据称 |
释义 | 〔nimbus〕A cloudy radiance said to surround a classical deity when on earth.光晕,幻云:据称为当神降临大地时在其周围环绕的绚丽的云雾〔Reyes〕A promontory on the central California coast northwest of San Francisco. It is reported to be the windiest and foggiest place on the western coast of the continental United States, with an average of 137 foggy days a year.雷耶斯角:加利福尼亚海岸线中部的海岬,位于旧金山西北。据称是美国大陆西海岸上风最多且雾最多的地方,一年平均有137天多雾天〔pilot〕The pilot of an aircraft flying through the air has a foot on the ground not literallybut etymologically.If we poke around in the etymological soil for the roots of the wordpilot, we find that it goes back to the Indo-European rootped-, meaning "foot.” From the lengthened-grade suffixed formpēdo- came the Greek word pēdon, "blade of an oar,” and in the plural, "rudder.” In Medieval Greekthere is assumed to have existed the derivativepēdōtēs, "steersman,” which passed into Old Italian and acquired several forms,includingpedota, and pilota, the form that was borrowed into Old French aspilot. English borrowed the word from French,and aspilot it has moved from the water to the air, first being recorded in 1848 with reference to an airborne pilot—a balloonist.飞行员一脚踩地飞进天空这句话字面上虽讲不通,但在词源上却可以。如果为找到pilot 的根源而溯其词源, 我们会发现它源自印欧语系词根ped- 意为“脚”。 从加长的这个词根的后缀形式pedo- 我们得到希腊词语 pedon “桨叶”及复数形式,“舵”。 在中世纪的希腊,据称曾存在派生词pedotes “舵手”, 该词进了古意大利语并添了一些形式,包括pedota 和 pilota , 这些形式被法语借用过来,便成了pilot 。 英语又借自法语,随着pilot 从水上被移用到天上, 于1848年第一次用来指天上飞行员——热气球驾驶员〔psychokinesis〕The production or control of motion, especially in inanimate and remote objects, purportedly by the exercise of psychic powers.心灵致动:据称是通过使用精神的力量,使物体特别是无生命的和遥远的物体移动或控制它们运动〔channel〕The medium through which a spirit guide purportedly communicates with the physical world.灵媒:精神导师进行据称与物质世界的交流所凭借的媒介〔Bigfoot〕A very large, hairy, humanlike creature purported to inhabit the Pacific Northwest and Canada. Also called Sasquatch 大脚兽:一种大型、多毛、象人的生物,据称生活太平洋西北部和加拿大 也作 Sasquatch〔alleged〕Analleged burglar is someone who has been accused of being a burglar but against whom no charges have been proved. Analleged incident is an event that is said to have taken place but has not yet been verified. In their zeal to protect the rights of the accused,newspapers and law enforcement officials sometimes misusealleged. A man arrested for murder may be only analleged murderer, for example, but he is a real, not analleged, suspect in that his status as a suspect is not in doubt. Similarly, if the money from a safe is known to have been stolen and not merely mislaid,then we may safely speak of a theft without having to qualify our description withalleged. 一个alleged(有嫌疑的) 强盗是指被指控为强盗但并未得到证实的人。 alleged(据称的) 的事件是一件据说发生过但还未被证实的事。 出于保护被指控者权力的热情,报界和执法官员有时误用alleged 这个词。 比如说,一个因谋杀而被捕的人,可能只是个alleged(有嫌疑的) 谋杀犯, 但当他是真正的而不是alleged(据称的) 嫌疑犯时,那么他身为嫌疑犯的处境就是毫无疑问的。 与此相似,如果放在保险箱里的钱已知是被人偷走而不仅仅是放错了,那么我们应该可以毫不犹豫地把它说成盗窃案而不用加alleged 这个词来限定我们的描述 〔Beauharnais〕Empress of the French (1804-1809) as the wife of Napoleon I. Married first to Alexandre de Beauharnais, she wed Napoleon Bonaparte in 1796. The marriage was annulled (1809) because of her alleged infertility.博阿内,约瑟芬·德:(1763-1814) 法国皇后(1804-1809年),拿破仑一世的妻子。她先与亚历山大·德·博阿内结婚,1769年与拿破仑·波拿巴结婚。据称因她不能生育这个婚姻被解除(1809年)〔pretended〕Supposed; alleged:据称的,所谓的: |
