| 释义 | 〔stay〕 Remain is sometimes synonymous withstay but more often implies continuing or being left after others have gone: Remain 有时与stay 同义， 但更经常地暗示别人走后继续或留住的情形： 〔memory〕Recollection is sometimes interchangeable withmemory : Recollection 有时可与memory 互换： 〔stratum〕The standard singular form isstratum; the standard plural isstrata (or sometimes stratums ) but notstratas. 标准的单数形式为stratum； 标准的复数形式为strata （或者有时为 stratums )， 但不是stratas 〔busy〕Don't bother me-I'm busy. The word sometimes indicates constant and customary work or activity: 别打扰我，我正忙着呢。 这个词有时也表示经常性的和习惯性的工作或活动： 〔complete〕Complete is sometimes held to be an absolute term likeperfect or chief, which is not subject to comparison. Nonetheless, it can be qualified asmore or less, for example. A majority of the Usage Panel accepts the example Complete 有时具有绝对的意味， 就象非比较形容词perfect 或 chief 。 然而，它可以用more 或 less 来修饰。 绝大多数用法专题使用小组成员接受下面的句子： 〔dilemma〕It is sometimes claimed that because thedi- in dilemma comes from a Greek prefix meaning "two,” the word should be used only when exactly two choices are involved.But 64 percent of the Usage Panel accepts its use for choices among three or more options in the example 据说有时因为dilemma 中的 di- 出自于一个含意为“两个”的希腊语前缀， 所以只有当在包含恰恰正是两种选择的时候才应使用这个词。但有64％的用法小组成员承认在三个或更多选择的例句中的使用，如 〔rocket〕A Mediterranean plant(Eruca vesicaria subsp. sativa) having flowers with purple-veined, yellowish-white petals and leaves that are sometimes used in salads. Also called arugula ,rocket salad ,roquette 芝麻菜，紫花南芥：一种生长于地中海的植物（芝麻菜属 芝麻菜 亚种 绵果芝麻菜） ，它的花有紫色的叶脉和黄白色的花萼，叶子有时用在沙拉里 也作 arugula,rocket salad,roquette〔rune〕A similar character in another alphabet, sometimes believed to have magic powers.神秘性的字母：另外的字母表中的类似字母，有时被认为具有魔力〔tapestry〕A heavy cloth woven with rich, often varicolored designs or scenes, usually hung on walls for decoration and sometimes used to cover furniture.挂毯：一种上面织有颜色鲜艳，经常是有各种颜色的图案或风景的毯布，通常被挂在墙壁上作为装饰，有时也用来覆盖家俱〔Izalco〕An active volcano, about 2,388 m (7,828 ft) high and still increasing in height, of western El Salvador. It is sometimes called "the Lighthouse of the Pacific.”伊萨尔科火山：一座活火山，约2,388米(7,828英尺）高，而且高度仍不断增长，位于萨尔瓦多西部。有时被称为“太平洋的灯塔”〔tycoon〕Business tycoons may consider themselves captains or even princes of industry,but by virtue of being calledtycoons, they have already achieved princely status,at least from an etymological point of view.Tycoon came into English from Japanese, which had borrowed the title, meaning "great prince,” from Chinese.Use of the word was intended to make the shogun,the commander in chief of the Japanese army, more impressive to foreigners (his official titleshōgun merely meant "general"). In fact, the shogun actually ruled Japan,although he was supposedly acting for the emperor.When Matthew C. Perry opened Japan to the West in 1854,he negotiated with the shogun, thinking him to be the emperor.The shogun's title,taikun, was brought back to the United States after Perry's visit.Abraham Lincoln's cabinet members usedtycoon as an affectionate nickname for the President. The word soon came to be used for business and industry leaders—perhaps at times for those who had as much right to such an impressive title as did the shogun.The word itself now has an old-fashioned sound,but when we encounter it,we should think back to the days of Commodore Perry and President Lincoln,both of whom were real tycoons in their own ways.商界大亨可能把他们自己当成是工业界的长官或甚至王子，但是因为被叫做tycoon ， 他们早已达到了王子般的地位，至少从词源学的观点来说是这样。Tycoon 由日语进入英语， 而日语的这个头衔是从汉语借来的，意思是“大王”。使用这个词是为了使幕府将军，日本军队的总指挥官给外国人以深刻的印象（他的官方头衔shogun 的意思仅仅是“将军”）。 实际上，是幕府将军统治着日本，尽管他被认为是为天皇办事。当马修·C·佩里1854年使日本向西方开放时，他和幕府将军进行了谈判，以为他就是日本天皇。幕府将军的头衔taikun ， 在佩里访问美国后带到了美国。亚伯拉罕·林肯的内阁成员把tycoon 用作总统的充满感情的绰号。 这个词很快也被用于商界和工界的领导人，也许有时这些人象幕府将军那样有权以致给人深刻的印象。这个词本身听起来有点老派，但是当我们遇到它时，我们应该回想起佩里海军准将和林肯总统的时代，他们两人以各自的方式成为真正的巨头〔contrary〕"a lively child, who had been spoilt and indulged, and therefore was sometimes wayward" (Charlotte Brontë).One who isornery is marked by a mean-spirited, often defiant contrariety: “一个活泼的孩子，因为被娇宠溺爱而有时任性倔强” （夏洛蒂·勃朗特）。用Ornery 来形容人时具有心胸狭窄，又常常违抗不服的互相矛盾的特征： 〔anxiety〕 Solicitude is active and sometimes excessive concern for the well-being of another or others: Solicitude 是指积极的，有时是过多的对另一人或他人利益的关心： 〔headquarters〕But the singular is sometimes preferred when reference is to authority rather than to physical location: 但有时所指代之物为权威而不是物理位置时，单数则更受欢迎： 〔strophulus〕A disease, especially common among children, sometimes associated with intestinal disturbances and characterized by a papular eruption of the skin. Also called red gum 2小儿丘疹性荨麻症：在儿童中尤为普遍的一种疾病，有时与肠内紊乱有关，特点是皮肤出现大量麻斑 也作 red gum2〔abatis〕A defensive obstacle made by laying felled trees on top of each other with branches, sometimes sharpened, facing the enemy.鹿砦，鹿角栅，铁丝网：用伐倒的树木排成的防御障碍，带枝杈的树端相互迭放面向敌人，有时也将枝杈削尖〔Monel〕A trademark used for an alloy of nickel, copper, iron, and manganese.

Also called Bang's disease 传染性流产：家畜，如牛，绵羊，山羊和狗，患的一种疾病，由布鲁氏菌引起，有时新感染病的动物会流产 也作 Bang's disease〔envious〕"At times he regarded the wounded soldiers in an envious way. . . . He wished that he, too, had a wound, a red badge of courage"(Stephen Crane)See Synonyms at jealous “有时侯，他竟羡慕那些受伤的士兵…他希望他也有一处伤口，一枚红色英勇勋章”(斯蒂芬·克兰) 参见 jealous〔wait〕For more than a hundred years critics have stigmatized the use ofwait on ( and somewhat less frequentlywait upon ) to mean roughly "await" or "wait for,”as inWe are still waiting on the committee vote. This use is so widespread in both educated speech and reputable writingthat the traditional objections have come to seem unnecessary.一百多年来评论家一直贬低wait on ( 有时也较少使用wait upon ) 作为“等待”或“等候”意义的用法，如在我们仍在等待委员会的投票。 这种用处在演讲和写作中用的是如此普遍，以至于原来的反对已经看起来不必要了〔motorcycle〕A two-wheeled motor vehicle resembling a heavy bicycle, sometimes having two saddles and a sidecar with a third wheel.摩托车：形似重型自行车的两轮机动车，有时有两个车座和一个带单轮的边车〔fogbow〕A faint white or yellowish arc-shaped light, similar to a rainbow, that sometimes appears in fog opposite the sun.
