单词 | 正是那个 |
释义 | 〔same〕the very person who should have warned us. different 正是那个应当提醒我们的人 different〔dynamite〕The same man who gave us dynamite gave us the Nobel Peace Prize,an irony that was surely not lost on the pacifistic Alfred Nobel himself.It is perhaps less well known that Nobel also contributed the worddynamite. Coined in Swedish in the formdynamit, the word was taken from Greekdunamis, "power,” and the Swedish suffix-it, which corresponds to our suffix-ite used in various scientific fields. Greekdunamis also gave us words such as dynamic and dynamo and itself probably goes back to the verbdunasthai, "to be able,” from which comesdynasty. 正是那个为我们制造炸药的人建立了诺贝尔和平奖,这种反语在阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔,这个和平主义者身上反映出来。而鲜为人知的是诺贝尔还创造了dunamite 这个词。 该词以瑞典语dynamit 形式创造, 取自希腊文dunamis ,意为“力量”, 再加上瑞典语的后缀-it, 相当于英文用于各种科学领域的后缀-ite。 希腊词dunamis 还向我们提供了其他词,如 dynamic 和 dynamo , 而后者本身可能追源到动词dunasthai , 由此又产生了dynasty 〔very〕Being particularly suitable or appropriate:正是那个的:特别适合或者恰当的: |
