单词 | 窝棚 |
释义 | 〔yonder〕The adverbyonder, from Old English geond, is not exclusively Southern but is more frequently used there than in any other region of the United States,and not only by older or uneducated speakers.Yonder is not merely a Southern synonym for there, which in the South tends to mean "only a few feet from the speaker.”Yonder carries with it an inherent sense of distance farther than "there" and is used if the person or thing indicated can be seen at all: the shed over yonder. Or it might be nearby but completely out of sight, as in the next room.副词yonder ,来自古英语的 geond, 并不是南方专用的,但是比美国任何其它地区都更常用,而且也不仅仅是老人或未受教育者才用它。在南方yonder 并不仅仅是 there 的同义词, 它还表示“距说话者仅几英尺开外”。Yonder 带有比"there"距离更远这一内在的含义, 并用于表示所示的人或事在视线以内: 那边的窝棚 ,或者极为相近但完全在视线以外,如在另一个房间内〔tumbledown〕a tumbledown shack.摇摇欲坠的窝棚 |
