| 释义 | 〔resigned〕"I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than other things do"(Willa Cather)“我喜欢树，因为它们似乎比其它任何事物都顺从于它们必须生活的方式”(威拉·卡瑟)〔gerrymander〕"An official statement of the returns of voters for senators give[s] twenty nine friends of peace, and eleven gerrymanders.”So reported the May 12, 1813, edition of theMassachusetts Spy. A gerrymander sounds like a strange political beast,which in fact it is, considered from a historical perspective.This beast was named by combining the wordsalamander, "a small lizardlike amphibian,” with the last name of Elbridge Gerry, a former governor of Massachusetts— a state noted for its varied, often colorful political fauna.Gerry (whose name, incidentally, was pronounced with a hardg, though gerrymander is now commonly pronounced with a soft g ) was immortalized in this way because an election district created by members of his party in 1812 looked like a salamander.According to one version of howgerrymander was coined, the shape of the district attracted the eye of the painter Gilbert Stuart,who noticed it on a map hanging in a newspaper editor's office.Stuart decorated the map with a head, wings, and clawsand then said to the editor, "That will do for a salamander!”"Gerrymander!” came the reply.A new political beast was created then and there.The word is first recorded in April 1812 with respect to the creature or its caricature,but it soon came to mean not only "the action of shaping a district to gain political advantage"but also "any representative elected from such a district by that method.”Within the same yeargerrymander was also recorded as a verb. “一份答复参议员选举人的官方声明宣布了二十九个和平伙伴和十一个不公正划分的选区。”在1813年3月12日的一期马萨诸塞州观察报 上有如上报导。 一个不公正划分选区听起来象是一个奇怪的政治怪兽，事实上它是来自历史上的观点。这个怪兽是由两个词合并而命名的，即salamander “一种蜥蜴状的两栖动物，”及马萨诸塞州州长埃尔布里奇·格里的姓。 而马萨诸萨州以其多变的、通常多姿多彩的政治动物群而闻名。格里（他的名字碰巧发重音g， 尽管 gerrymander 现在普遍发轻音 g， ）以此种方式而垂名史册， 因为1812年由他所在党成员组建的选举区就象一只蝾螈。根据一种gerrymander 如何被创造的观点， 该区的形状吸引了一位画家基尔伯特·斯图亚特，他在一家报纸的主编办公室里挂在墙上的地图中发现了它。斯图尔特又画上头、翅膀和爪子，然后对主编说，“那就象只蝾螈了！”"Gerrymander！”主编回答道。此时此地一个新的政治怪兽产生了。这个词于1812年4月首次被记录是在谈到这种牲畜或讽刺的画中，但很快，它就不仅意味“为赢得政治优势的改变区划的行动”，而且有“用此种方法选出的任何代表”的意思。同年gerrymander 也被作为一个动词而记载下来 〔shell〕An attitude or a manner adopted to mask one's true feelings.矫饰：用来掩盖某人真实感情的态度或方式〔thrash〕The act or an instance of thrashing.打：打的行为或方式〔tip〕To empty (something) by overturning; dump.倾倒：用倾倒的方式把（某物）倒空；倾泻〔network〕A group or system of electric components and connecting circuitry designed to function in a specific manner.电路网：以特定的方式设计成具有一定功能、由电器元件和连接电路组成的系统〔regress〕To have a tendency to approach or go back to a statistical mean.退步：接近或退回到一个统计方式的〔recipe〕A formula for or means to a desired end:诀窍：达到期望之目的的方式或方法：〔look〕A distinctive, unified manner of dress or fashion:穿着的方式，流行的式样：特殊的、一致的穿着方式或时尚：〔levonorgestrel〕The levorotatory form of norgestrel, used in oral contraceptives and in contraceptives implanted subdermally. In implant form it can prevent pregnancy for up to five years.诺普兰避孕剂，左旋去黄体酮乙基，乙基炔诺酮：炔诺孕酮的左旋偏光形式，用于口服避孕药和皮下植入避孕。植入避孕方式可避免五年内怀孕〔bound〕To progress by forward leaps or springs.跳跃前进：通过向前跳跃或弹跳的方式前进〔retro〕"As is often the case in retro fashion, historical accuracy is somewhat beside the point"(New York Times)“常常就象回顾往事的方式一样，历史的精确性往往被忽略”(纽约时报)〔poem〕A verbal composition designed to convey experiences, ideas, or emotions in a vivid and imaginative way, characterized by the use of condensed language chosen for its sound and suggestive power and by the use of literary techniques such as meter, metaphor, and rhyme.诗：以生动的和充满想象的方式来表达经验、思想或情感的口述文学作品，以运用其声音和暗示力而选用浓缩的语言为特征，并运用如节奏、暗喻和音韵等文学手法〔indifferent〕Not mattering one way or the other.不关心的，不重要的：不在乎是那种方式的〔caricature〕These nouns denote artistic formsin which someone or something is imitated in an amusing and generally critical manner. A这些名词都表示各种艺术形式，其中某人或某物被以一种令人发笑的，通常是批判的方式模仿。〔handicapped〕Althoughhandicapped is widely used in both law and everyday speech to refer to people having physical or mental disabilities, those described by the word tend to prefer the expressionsdisabled or people with disabilities. To say that people arehandicapped may imply that they cannot function on a par with others, while to say that they have adisability allows more readily for the possibility that they can so function, in spite of having to do some things in different ways.It is also felt that some stigma may attach to the wordhandicapped on account of its origin in the phrase hand in cap, actually derived from a game of chancebut sometimes mistakenly believed to involve the image of a beggar.The wordhandicapped is best reserved to describe a disabled person who is unable to function owing to some property of the environment. Thus people with a physical disability requiring a wheelchair may or may not behandicapped, depending on whether wheelchair ramps are made available to them. 尽管在法律上和在日常用语里handicapped 这个词被广泛使用以言指那些有生理缺陷的，智力低下的人， 那些被这个词描绘的人们更喜欢disabled 或 people with disabilities 这两种说法。 说人们是handicapped 可能暗示他们不可能象别的人那样水平的工作， 而当说他们只是disability 时，为他们能够如此工作提供了更大的可能性和余地， 尽管他们是用不同的方式去做同样的事情。一些附着于handicapped 这个词的一些特点是因为这个词来源于 hand in cap 这个短语， 它实际上起源于比赛中的机会，但有时被人误会加入了乞丐的形象。单词handicapped 这个词用来形容那些由于某些客观环境问题而无法工作的人是最好的了， 因此生理有缺陷的而需要轮椅的人，是否是handicapped 要看为他们准备的轮椅的坡道是否可以使用 〔set〕the set of her cap.她戴帽子的方式〔bore〕To form (a tunnel, for example) by drilling, digging, or burrowing.用钻、挖或掘的方式打通（如，隧道）〔demise〕To transfer (sovereignty) by abdication or will.让位：通过退位或遗嘱方式转让（统治权）〔say〕To give nonverbal expression to; signify or embody:象征：用非语言方式来表达；表明或体现：〔piffle〕To talk or act in a feeble or futile way.说废话；做无聊的事：以无用的或徒劳的方式说话或做事〔vote〕A means by which such a preference is made known, such as a raised hand or a marked ballot.投票，表决：这种赞同被表达出来的方式，如举手或有记号的选票〔banter〕To speak to in a playful or teasing way.取笑：以开玩笑或戏弄的方式讲话〔interchange〕To cause to succeed each other in a series or pattern; alternate:替换，交替：使以一系列方式或形式轮流进行；交替发生：〔cantilever〕To construct as or in the manner of a cantilever.建成悬臂式：作为一条悬臂或以悬臂的方式建造〔restate〕To state again or in a new form.See Synonyms at repeat 再次声明：再次或以新的方式声明 参见 repeat〔view〕To think of in a particular way; regard:视作，认为：用一种特殊方式思考；认为：〔minestrone〕The thick vegetable soup known asminestrone did not come by its name because of its ingredients or their shape but rather because of service,something highly valued by many restaurant patrons.Minestrone is from the Italian word of the same form and sense, which in turn is derived fromminestra, meaning "a dish generally consisting of pasta, rice, beans, or vegetables cooked in water.”Minestra has been borrowed into English as well, being first recorded in 1750,whileminestrone is first found in 1891. The Italian wordminestra is from the verb minestrare, meaning "to serve this type of soup" or "dish up,”which goes back to the Latin verbministrāre, "to serve food,” from Latinminister, "servant.” 这种叫作minestrone 的蔬菜浓汤不是由其成分或形状而得名， 而是由其上菜方式而得名的，这一点得到很多饭店主顾的称道。Minestrone 源于同形同义的意大利语词， 这个词由minestra 而来， 意为“通常用面团、大米、豆子或蔬菜加水煮成的菜”。英语中也引入了minestra 这个词， 该词第一次出现于1750年，而minestrone 则首次于出现在1891年。 意大利语词minestra 由动词 minestrare 而来， 意为“上这种汤”或“把…装盘上菜”，这个词可追溯到拉丁语动词ministrare 意为“上菜”， 又由拉丁语词minister “仆人”而来 〔mimetic〕Using imitative means of representation:用模仿的方式表现：〔Sabellianism〕A version of Monarchianism holding that the Godhead was differentiated only into a succession of modes or operations and that the Father suffered as much as the Son.撒伯流主义：上帝一体论的一种说法，认为神格被区分成一连串的形态及显现方式且圣父与圣子同苦〔batik〕from Proto-Austronesian *beCík [tattoo (from the fact that the original process of piercing the waxed cloth prior to soaking was similar to tattooing)] 源自 原始南岛语组 *beCík [刺花（在浸透前渗入蜡布的最初处理，其制作方式刺花相类似）] 〔play〕To act or conduct oneself in a specified way:行动，处置：按特定方式来表现或从事：〔handling〕The way in which a presentation, especially an artistic or theatrical work, is treated.人们对待表演，尤其是艺术或舞台作品的方式〔promising〕Likely to develop in a desirable manner.有前途的：有可能以期望中的方式发展的〔telesthesia〕Response to or perception of distant stimuli by extrasensory means.超常知觉：以超感觉方式对远距离刺激物的反应或感觉〔weasel〕To back out of a situation or commitment in a sneaky or cowardly manner.逃脱，推诿：以一种狡黠或懦怯的方式脱离某种境况或推诿责任〔food〕Something that nourishes or sustains in a way suggestive of physical nourishment:养料，精神食粮：以身体营养的隐含方式滋养或供养的东西：〔demonstration〕A public display of group opinion, as by a rally or march:示威：一种表达集体意见的公开行动，如通过集会或游行的方式：〔examine〕To determine the qualifications, aptitude, or skills of by means of questions or exercises.考试，测验：通过询问或练习的方式来测定资格、才能或技巧〔fashion〕Vogue is applied to fashion that prevails widely ( Vogue 指流行很广的方式( |
