释义 | 〔cadaverous〕a cadaverous odor.死尸一样的气味〔dead〕 Lifeless applies to what no longer has physical life (lifeless body), to what does not support life (a lifeless planet), and to what lacks animation, spirit, or brightness (a lifeless performance of the sonata; lifeless colors). Lifeless 意被不再有生命的(死尸), 不能维持生命(无生命的行星), 和缺乏生气、精神或欢乐的(奏鸣曲乏味的演出;无生机的颜色)。〔Frankenstein〕The wordFrankenstein has taken on a life of its own, somewhat like the monster created from parts of corpses by the Swiss student Frankenstein, whose name serves as the title of Mary Shelley's novel, published in 1818. People have persisted in calling the monster Frankenstein;in fact, the first recorded use of the name as a common noun in 1838refers to mules as "Frankensteins.”The word has gone on to refer to "a monster having the appearance of a man" and "an agency that slips from the control of and ultimately destroys its creator.”Since most people have given the name of the novel's protagonist to his creation,Frankenstein's monster has, in a sense, destroyed its creator.单词Franerstein 有些象瑞士学生弗兰肯斯泰因(此名成为1818年出版的玛丽·雪莱小说的书名)从部分死尸器官所造的怪物一样,已经具备了自己的生命力。 人们坚持将那个怪物称作弗兰肯斯泰因;实际上此词于1838年第一次用作普通名词,把顽固的人称作“弗兰肯斯泰因”。此词后来演变为指“人形怪物”和“脱离创造者的控制并最终毁灭其创造者的媒介”。因为多数人把小说中主角的名字转借给了他的创造物,所以,从某种意义上说,弗兰肯斯泰因创造的怪物已经毁灭了他本人〔cadaverous〕Suggestive of death; corpselike:死尸般的:死一样的;死尸一样的:〔necropolis〕nekro- [necro-] nekro- [前缀,表“死尸”] 〔blackout〕fell in a dead faint at the sight of the cadaver;看到死尸而晕死过去;〔cadaverous〕Of corpselike pallor; pallid:面无人色的:死尸一样的苍白;无血色的:〔necrophobia〕An abnormal fear of death or corpses.死亡恐怖,畏尸症:一种对死亡或死尸不正常的恐惧〔corpse〕A dead body, especially the dead body of a human being.See Synonyms at body 死尸:死尸,尤指人的尸体 参见 body〔ghoul〕An evil spirit or demon in Moslem folklore believed to plunder graves and feed on corpses.食尸鬼:穆斯林教传说中一种邪恶的灵魂或魔鬼,他们盗掘坟墓并吃死尸 |
