单词 | 矮胖 |
释义 | 〔mole〕Any of various small, insectivorous mammals of the family Talpidae, usually living underground and having thickset bodies with light brown to dark gray silky fur, rudimentary eyes, tough muzzles, and strong forefeet for burrowing.鼹鼠:一种小而以虫类为食的鼹鼠科的哺乳动物,通常生活在地下,有长着淡褐色到深灰色柔软皮毛的矮胖身体,退化的眼睛,坚韧的口部和为打洞用而强壮的前足〔Ganesh〕The god of wisdom and the remover of obstacles, son of Shiva and Parvati, depicted as a short fat man with an elephant's head.犍尼萨:智慧之神与横扫障碍者,是湿婆和盘波堤之子,被形容成一个矮胖象头的模样〔chow〕Any of a breed of heavy-set dog originating in China, having a long, dense, reddish-brown or black coat and a blue-black tongue. Also called chow chow 中国家犬,松狮犬:一种身材矮胖的狗,最早在中国饲养,有长、密、红褐色或黑色的皮毛和蓝黑色的舌头 也作 chow chow〔stump〕A short, thickset person.矮胖的人,短粗的人〔bumpkin〕The termbumpkin may at one time have been directed at an entire people rather than that segment of the population living in a rural area. The first recorded appearance of the word in 1570 is glossed by the Latin wordBatavus, "Dutchman,” thus making plausible the suggestion thatbumpkin may come from either the Middle Dutch word bommekijn, "little barrel,” or the Flemish word boomken, "shrub.” The connection would be between a squat object and the short, rotund figure of the Dutchman in the popular imagination.Any bumpkin would surely prefer this etymology to another suggestion thatbumpkin is a derivative of bum, "the rear end.” 单词bumpkin 有一个时期意指住在乡下的所有人而不是其中的一部分, 这个词于1570年第一次出现是用拉丁词Batavus “荷兰人”注解的。 使得下面这个解释似乎是说得通的,即bumpkin 有可能起源于中古荷兰词语 bommekijn “小圆桶”的意思,或起源于法兰德斯语 boomken “灌木”的意思。 这两者之间的联系在一般的想象中就如同一个矮胖的物体同圆胖的荷兰人间的关系。而任何一个乡下人都确信无疑这个词源有另一个解释,即bumphin 是从 bum 演变而来的,该词的意思是“尾部末梢” 〔fat〕Portly andstout are sometimes used as polite terms to describe fatness. In stricter applicationportly refers to a person whose bulk is combined with a stately or imposing bearing, andstout, to a person with a thickset, bulky figure: Portly 和stout 有时用作描述肥胖的礼貌用词。 在更严格的用法中,portly 指身体与一种庄严的或强加的忍耐力联系在一起的人, 而stout 指身材矮胖、粗壮的人: 〔cob〕A thickset, stocky, short-legged horse.短腿马:一匹体格结实的矮胖短腿马〔dumpy〕Short and stout; squat.矮胖的;短而厚的〔chunky〕Short and thick; stocky.矮胖的;粗壮的〔stocky〕Chubby; plump.矮胖的,丰满的 |
