| 单词 | 无意中 |
| 释义 | 〔periodic〕Periodic has long been used loosely to mean "occasional, intermittent,” but this usage may be confusing for readers who are accustomed to using the word only in its narrower sense of "at regular or predictable intervals.”Thus the writer who saidParker's losses at the track were not covered by his periodic winners invited the (most likely unintended) inference that Parker had a system that enabled him to pick winners at regular intervals. Substitution ofoccasional in this context would have resolved the ambiguity. Periodic 长时间以来不严谨地用于指“时常的，偶而的”， 但这个用法常常使那些习惯于将这个词用于“在有规律或可预测的间歇内”这个狭窄词义的读者迷惑。因此写帕克在赛跑中的失败不如他的胜利多 这句话的作者（主要是无意中）造成帕克有在定期赢得比赛的方法的推论。 在上下文中用occasional 代替应该能解决这种模棱两可的问题 〔Oedipus〕A son of Laius and Jocasta, who was abandoned at birth and unwittingly killed his father and then married his mother.奥狄帕斯：莱厄斯和乔卡斯塔之子，在出生时即被抛弃，后在无意中杀害了他父亲尔后娶了他母亲〔fortunate〕Having unexpected good fortune; lucky.See Synonyms at happy 侥幸的，幸运的：无意中交了好运的；幸运的 参见 happy〔forgather〕To meet another usually by accident.偶然遇见：经常是无意中遇见别人〔involuntary〕an involuntary participant in what turned out to be an argument.无意中参加了一场争论的人〔Actaeon〕A young hunter who, having inadvertently observed Artemis while she was bathing, was turned by her into a stag and killed by his own dogs.阿克特翁：年轻猎人，因无意中见到阿耳忒弥斯沐浴而被她变为牡鹿，并最终被他自己的狗群咬死〔overhear〕To hear (speech or someone speaking) without the speaker's awareness or intent.无意中听到，偶然听到：无意中或偶然听到（讲话或某人在说话）〔unconscious〕Occurring in the absence of conscious awareness or thought:无意中发生的：〔fulsome〕The wordfulsome is often used, particularly in the expressionfulsome praise, to mean simply "abundant,” without any implication of excess or insincerity.This usage is etymologically justifiedbut may invite misunderstandings in contexts in which a deprecatory interpretation might also be available.The sentenceI offer you my most fulsome apologies may unintentionally raise an eyebrow, where the use of an adjective likefull or abundant would leave no room for doubt as to the sincerity of the speaker's intentions.单词fulsome 经常使用， 尤其在表达溢美之辞 时， 只表“丰富”而没有“过分或虚伪”的意思。根据词源学判断此用法是有道理的，但却会在一些场合得到贬义的解释而引起误会。如我对你抱歉到家了 ，这句话会无意中使对方皱起眉头， 若是此处用full 或 abundant 之类的形容词， 就不会使听者对于说话者诚挚道歉的意图产生怀疑了〔disinformation〕"He would be the unconscious channel for a piece of disinformation aimed at another country's intelligence service"(Ken Follett)“他会在无意中成为向另一国情报机构提供假消息的渠道”(肯·福利特)〔unawares〕Without forethought or plan.See Usage Note at unaware 无意中，不知不觉地：没有预想或计划地 参见 unaware〔Jocasta〕A queen of Thebes who unknowingly married her own son, Oedipus.伊俄卡斯特：底比斯的王后，她无意中嫁给了自己的儿子俄狄浦斯〔enormity〕the world really become aware of the enormity of Pol Pot's oppression. Fifty-nine percent of the Usage Panel rejects the use ofenormity in the more general sense in the sentenceAt that point the engineers sat down to design an entirely new viaduct, apparently undaunted by the enormity of their task. This distinction betweenenormity and enormousness has not always existed historically, but nowadays many observe it.Writers who ignore it in phrases such asthe enormity of the President's election victory or the enormity of her inheritance may find their words an unintended source of amusement.整个世界也才注意到波尔布特高压政策的穷凶极恶。 用法使用小组的59％成员都反对在如下句子里将enormity 该词用于更广泛的意义， 如在句子当坐下来开始设计一座全新的高架桥时，很明显地工程师们对他们所面临的艰巨工作无所畏惧 中。 这种enomity 和 enormousness 间的差异并不总是在历史上存在， 但现在很多人都观察到了这一点。那些在例如总统竞选的巨大胜利 或 她的巨额遗产 这些短语中忽略了该差异的作者们， 很可能会发现他们的词语无意中变成逗乐趣事的来源〔overhear〕To hear something without the speaker's awareness or intent.无意中听到，偷听到：无意中或偶然偷听到某事 |
