单词 | 梦想 |
释义 | 〔challenged〕People who object to the termsdisabled and handicapped as being too negative sometimes propose the substitution of challenged instead, as in referring to persons with physical disabilities as physically challenged. While this particular phrase is quite popular, it is sometimes taken to be condescending, and similar usages such as mentally challenged have failed to win equal acceptance. Indeed, the widespread parody of challenged in such expressions as electronically challenged for "inept at using computers" has effectively eliminated it as an all-purpose alternative to disabled or handicapped. 一些觉得使用disabled 和 handicapped 字眼过于负面的人,偶会以委婉的 challenged 代替,如用 physically challenged 指肢体有缺陷。这个特别词汇的使用相当普遍,因为有时会被视为较谦逊的用法,不过相似用法的接受度不一定相同, mentally challenged 这个用法便无法获得相同的认同。事实上,广为流传的 challenged 谐谑用法如以 electronically challenged(计算机残障) 来形容计算机白痴,已使得其全面替代 disabled 或 handicapped 沦为梦想 〔romantic〕Imaginative but impractical; visionary:幻想的:想象而不切实际的;梦想的:〔pass〕The inheritance passed my wildest dreams.这份遗产超出了我最漫无边际的梦想〔Oxford〕A borough of south-central England on the Thames River west-northwest of London.

But these uses are probably less common nowadays than two extended senses of the intransitive sense of the verb.In the first the meaning is roughly "to appear suddenly,”as inNo sooner had we set the menu down than a waiter materialized at our table. Some critics have labeled this use incorrect,but the criticism may suggest an overliteralism;used in this way,the verb has the sense "to appear as if by magic.”Materialize also means "to take effective shape, come into existence,” particularly as applied to things or events that have been foreseen or anticipated: materialize 的最初含义是作为不及物动词时意思是“具有物质形式,” 例如在玛雷的鬼魂在斯克鲁奇眼前显现了 一句中或作及物动词时意思是“使具有物质形式,” 例如在迪斯尼在奥兰治郡的一块果园实现了他的梦想 中。 但是现在这两种用法也许不如该词作为不及物动词的两种延伸的用法更为常见。第一种用法的大致意思是指“突然出现,”例如在我们刚放下菜单不久,侍者就突然出现在我们的饭桌旁 中。 一些批评家认为这种用法不准确,但是这种批评未免太拘泥于字面意思;同样这种用法下,该词还有“仿佛由于魔力而出现”的意思。Materialize 还有“显形,显效,出现”的含义, 尤其适用在已经预料到或被期望的事物。 〔visionary〕Given to daydreams or reverie; dreamy.白日做梦的或幻想的;梦想的 |
