单词 | 洼地 |
释义 | 〔corrie〕Scottish Gaelic coire [hollow, cauldron] 苏格兰的盖尔语 coire [洼地,大锅] 〔slack〕A small dell or hollow.小山谷或小洼地〔hollow〕An indented or concave surface or area.See Synonyms at hole 凹陷,洼地:凹的表面或地区 参见 hole〔hollow〕A cavity, gap, or space:洼地,洞穴,空地:〔loblolly〕Loblolly is a combination of lob, probably an onomatopoeia for the thick, heavy bubbling of cooking porridge, and lolly, an old British dialect word for "broth, soup, or any other food boiled in a pot.” Thus, loblolly originally denoted thick porridge or gruel, especially that eaten by sailors on board ship. In the southern United States, the word is used to mean "a mudhole; a mire,” a sense derived from an allusion to the consistency of porridge. The name loblolly has become associated with several varieties of trees as well, all of which favor wet bottomlands or swamps in the Gulf and South Atlantic states. Lobolly 是 lob ,可能是模仿熬粥时沉重的冒泡声,和意为“锅里煮着的清汤、浓汤或其他任何食物”的古英语方言 lolly 的结合。这样, loblolly 本来表示稠粥或稀粥,尤指船上水手们所喝的粥。在美国南部,这个词用于表示“泥坑;泥沼”,这个含义是以粥的浓稠性这一暗示而来。 loblolly 这一名称也与几种树木有关,这些树都适于生长在墨西哥湾及南大西洋各州的潮湿洼地或沼泽里 〔wash〕Low or marshy ground washed by tidal waters.洼地,沼泽:由波浪之水流引起的低地或沼泽地〔intervale〕A tract of low-lying land, especially along a river.洼地:一大片地势低的土地,特别是沿河的滩地〔wallow〕The depression, pool, or pit produced by wallowing animals.洼地:因动物打滚造成的凹陷、塘或坑〔chott〕The depression surrounding a salt marsh or lake, especially in North Africa.北非小盐湖盆地:盐碱沼泽地或湖泊周围的洼地,尤指在北非〔tule〕Low, swampy land istules or tule land in the parlance of northern California. When the Spanish colonized Mexico and Central America,they borrowed from the native inhabitants the Nahuatl wordtollin, "bulrush.” The English-speaking settlers of the West in turn borrowed the Spanish wordtule to refer to certain varieties of bulrushes native to California.Eventually the meaning of the word was extended to the marshy land where the bulrushes grew.北加利福尼亚的说法中,潮湿洼地叫做tules 或 tule land 。 当西班牙人殖民于墨西哥和中美洲时,他们从土著居民那里借来了那瓦特语tollin (“灯心草”)。 接着西方讲英语的定居者又借用了西班牙语tule , 用来表示原产于加利福尼亚的各种灯芯草。最后该词的意义又扩展到这种灯芯草所生长的沼泽地〔corrie〕A round hollow in a hillside; a cirque.盆地:山区中圆形洼地;盆地谷〔haugh〕from Old English healh [secret place, small hollow] * see kel- 1源自 古英语 healh [秘密的地方,小的洼地] * 参见 kel- 1〔hole〕a hollow in the ground where ivy grows;地上的洼地里长着长春藤;〔slash〕Often slashes Wet or swampy ground overgrown with bushes and trees. 常作 slashes 长满灌木的洼地:长满了灌木和树木的湿地或沼泽〔pan〕A basin or depression in the earth, often containing mud or water.盘状洼地:沉积的盆地或洼地,常常有泥或含有水〔slough〕A depression or hollow, usually filled with deep mud or mire.泥坑:充满深深的泥沼的凹地或洼地 |
