单词 | 眼前 |
释义 | 〔concentrate〕We concentrated on the task before us.我们专注于眼前的任务〔fix〕We fixed on the immediate goal.我们专心于眼前的目标〔prospect〕Something presented to the eye; a scene:风景:呈现在眼前的某物;风景:〔start〕To come quickly into view, life, or activity; spring forth.呈现:很快出地现在眼前、生活中或行动中;涌出〔swim〕The room swam before my eyes.房间在我眼前缓慢旋转〔mist〕A haze before the eyes that blurs the vision.迷糊:眼前使视线模糊的烟雾〔afterimage〕"the red afterimage of the . . . flame pulsing before my eyes"(Anthony Hyde)Also called photogene “在我眼前跳动的火苗的红色余象”(安东尼·海德) 也作 photogene〔materialize〕In its original sensesmaterialize is used intransitively to mean "to assume material form,” as inMarley's ghost materialized before Scrooge's eyes, or transitively to mean "to cause to assume material form,” as inDisney materialized his dream in a plot of orchard land in Orange County. 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。 〔rural〕We watched from the train window as the pastoral landscapes of Burgundy unfolded. 透过火车车窗,勃艮第的乡村风光展示在我们眼前 〔open〕A green valley opened up before us.青翠的山谷展现在我们眼前〔wing〕Close by in the background; available at short notice:在近旁,在眼前:在背景上相近;简短公告中会有:〔man〕manned himself for the battle ahead.使自己振作以应付眼前的战斗〔unbelieving〕The incident occurred right before our unbelieving eyes.事故恰恰发生在我们眼前,尽管我们不敢相信自己的眼睛 |
