| 释义 | 〔healthy〕"Gardening . . . and working in wood, are fit and healthy recreations for a man of study or business" (John Locke).“从事园艺 . . . 和在树林中劳作对于学习或上班的人来说，是一项适合而健康的消遣” （约翰·洛克）。〔gladiator〕A person, usually a professional combatant, a captive, or a slave, trained to entertain the public by engaging in mortal combat with another person or a wild animal in the ancient Roman arena.格斗者，角斗士：一个人，通常指一职业格斗者、俘虏或在古罗马圆形大剧场里的奴隶被培训与另一个人或一野兽进行殊死搏斗以供公共消遣〔recreation〕Refreshment of one's mind or body after work through activity that amuses or stimulates; play.消遣；娱乐：在工作之后通过逗乐或刺激的活动来使某人的身心得到恢复；玩耍〔haiku〕hai [amusement] from Chinese pá [farce] hai [消遣] 源自 汉语 pá [闹剧] 〔distraction〕Something, especially an amusement, that distracts.分心的事物：分散注意力（或分心）的事物，尤指娱乐，消遣〔escapism〕The tendency to escape from daily reality or routine by indulging in daydreaming, fantasy, or entertainment.逃避现实倾向：以沉湎于空想、狂想或消遣的办法来逃避日常现实〔diatribe〕Listening to a lengthy diatribe may seem like a waste of time,an attitude for which there is some etymological justification.The Greek worddiatribē, the ultimate source of our word, is derived from the verb diatribein, made up of the prefixdia-, "completely,” and tribein, "to rub,” "to wear away, spend, or waste time,” "to be busy.” The verbdiatribein meant "to rub hard,” "to spend or waste time,” and the noundiatribē meant "wearing away of time, amusement, serious occupation, study,” as well as "discourse, short ethical treatise or lecture, debate, argument.”It is the serious occupation of time in discourse, lecture, and debate that gave us the first use ofdiatribe recorded in English (1581), in the now archaic sense "discourse, critical dissertation.”The critical element of this kind of diatribe must often have been uppermost,explaining the origin of the current sense ofdiatribe, "a bitter criticism.” 听唠唠叨叨的絮语也许好象是浪费时间，这是一种态度，一些词源对此有所表明。该词的终源希腊单词diatribe 起源于由动词 diatribein ； 而后者是由前缀dia- “完全地”和 tribein （“消磨、消逝、花费或浪费时间”，“忙于”）所构成的。 动词diartibein 意思是“难熬”、“花费或浪费时间”， 而名词diatribe 意思是“时间消逝、消遣、热衷消遣，研究”， 还有“论文、伦理学论文，伦理学论文或讲演，争辩，论据”。在（1581年）英语中记载的第一次使用diatribe 是热衷于把时间消磨在论文、讲演和争辩中， 现在古体文含义是“论文，批评式的学术演讲”。这种论文所含批评因素必须常常占最主要的，它解释了diatribe 现代含义“尖刻批评”的词源 〔playmate〕A companion in play or recreation.游戏伙伴：一起游戏或消遣的伙伴〔play〕Activity engaged in for enjoyment or recreation.游戏：为了娱乐或消遣而从事的活动〔relief〕A pleasant or amusing change; a diversion.娱乐：令人高兴或愉快的变化；消遣娱乐〔amuse〕"He loved to regale his friends with tales about the many memorable characters he had known as a newspaperman" (David Rosenzweig). “他喜欢讲些他当记者时认识的许多名人的故事给朋友们消遣” （大卫·罗森斯维格）〔sightseeing〕The act or pastime of visiting sights of interest.观光，游览：观光的活动或消遣〔relaxation〕Refreshment of body or mind; recreation:消遣：身体或头脑的恢复；消遣：〔avocation〕Latin āvocātiō āvocātiōn- [diversion] 拉丁语 āvocātiō āvocātiōn- [消遣] 〔resorter〕One who frequents resorts for vacations or recreation.休假或消遣胜地的常客〔sport〕An active pastime; recreation.游戏，娱乐：活跃积极的消遣；娱乐〔enjoyment〕Classical music was her chief enjoyment.古典音乐是他的主要消遣〔playground〕An outdoor area set aside for recreation and play, especially one containing equipment such as seesaws and swings.操场：用于消遣和玩耍的户外场地，尤指提供，如跷跷板和秋千等设备〔magician〕One who performs magic for entertainment or diversion.魔术师：为了娱乐或者消遣而变魔术的人〔resort〕A place frequented by people for relaxation or recreation:常去的地方，胜地：人们为放松和消遣常去的地方：〔wile〕To pass (time) agreeably:消磨，消遣：愉快地度过（时光）：〔anodyne〕anodyne novels about country life.关于乡村生活的消遣小说〔amuse〕To occupy in an agreeable, pleasing, or entertaining fashion.娱乐，消遣：以愉快、欢乐或娱乐的方式占有〔pleasure〕Amusement, diversion, or worldly enjoyment:娱乐：娱乐、消遣或世俗的享乐：〔entertainment〕The comedian performed for our entertainment.喜剧演出以供我们消遣〔garden〕Often gardens Grounds laid out with flowers, trees, and ornamental shrubs and used for recreation or display: 常作 gardens 园地：种植着花、树木和观赏灌木并用作消遣和展览的地方：〔activity〕A specified pursuit in which a person partakes.特殊活动：一个人参加的特殊的消遣活动〔wardroom〕The common recreation area and dining room for the commissioned officers on a warship.舰上军官室：战舰上供军官消遣或用餐的地方〔recreational〕Of or relating to recreation:消遣的：属于或与娱乐有关的：〔amateur〕When Mrs. T.W. Atkinson remarked in her 1863Recollections of the Tartar Steppes and their Inhabitants, "I am no amateur of these melons,” she usedamateur in a sense unfamiliar to us. That sense, "a lover, an admirer,” is, however, clearly descended from the senses of the word's ultimate Latin source,amātor, "lover, devoted friend, devotee, enthusiastic pursuer of an objective,” and from its immediate Latin-derived French source,amateur, with a similar range of meanings. First recorded in English in 1784 with the sense in which Mrs. Atkinson used it,amateur is found in 1786 with a meaning more familiar to us, "a person who engages in an art, for example, as a pastime rather than as a profession,” a sense that had already developed in French.Given the limitations of doing something as an amateur,it is not surprising that the word is soon after recorded in the disparaging sensewe still use to refer to someone who lacks professional skill or ease in performance.当T.W.阿特金森夫人在她1863年出版的塔塔·史坦普和其居民回忆录， 中提到“我并不喜欢这些瓜果”时， 她使用的amateur 是我们所不熟悉的一个意思。 可是这种“爱好者，喜爱者，”的意思显然有其正宗拉丁语来源，amator, 意思是“爱人，忠实的朋友，奉献者，对某目标热情的追求者”， 还有由拉丁语直接派生出的法语来源，amateur, 具有相似的意思。 1784年记录在英语文字中出现的这个词正是阿特金森夫人使用的意思，1786年出现的amateur 有我们更为熟悉的意思， “如一个从事艺术，把它作为一项消遣，而不是一个职业的人，”法语的词早已发展了这种意思。如果把意思限定为从事业余活动的人，这个词被记录下来后不久就有了贬义含意，也就不足为奇了，我们用它来指在表演中缺乏专业技巧或缺乏得心应手的感觉〔diversion〕Something that distracts the mind and relaxes or entertains.消遣：分散注意和放松或娱乐的事〔park〕A large tract of rural land kept in its natural state and usually reserved for the enjoyment and recreation of visitors.自然景观保留地：乡村的大片保留天然状态且通常用于为观光游人提供娱乐和消遣的土地〔ultralight〕A recreational aircraft that is constructed of lightweight materials such as aluminum, graphite compositions, or high-strength plastics, having an engine of 15 to 40 horsepower and resembling a motorized hang glider with wings.超轻型飞机：由轻型材料如铝、石墨合成物或高强度塑料等制成的消遣用的飞机，有一个15到40马力的发动机，是带动力的悬挂式滑翔机和机翼的组合〔amuse〕 regale is to entertain with something enormously enjoyable: regale 就是用非常有趣的事物来消遣： 〔avocation〕An activity taken up in addition to one's regular work or profession, usually for enjoyment; a hobby.消遣：在一个人固定工作或职业之外从事的活动，通常目的为娱乐；一种爱好〔divert〕To entertain by distracting the attention from worrisome thoughts or cares; amuse.See Synonyms at amuse 消遣，娱乐：通过把注意力从烦恼之事上转移开而娱乐；娱乐 参见 amuse〔pet〕An animal kept for amusement or companionship.宠物：用于娱乐消遣或陪伴的动物 |
