释义 | 〔roster〕To be told that the wordroster is related to a gridiron upon which one roasts meat might not come as a surprise, depending on what sort of rosters one's name has graced.The connection between the roster as we know it and a gridiron was made in Dutch,where the wordrooster, meaning "gridiron" (from the verb roosten, "to roast"), was extended in sense to mean "a table, list.”This extension was made because of the resemblance of a gridiron to a piece of paper divided by parallel lines that contains a list or table.The earliest use in English (first recorded in 1727) for the wordroster borrowed from Dutch was military, referring to a list or plan that outlined when officers, men, and bodies of troops should perform their turn of duty. Roster is no longer exclusively military in usage,nor does it mean simply a list of rotating turns of duty;one could perhaps even have a roster of meats to be roasted at a barbecue.如果说roster 一词与供烤肉用的烧烤架有关也许不会令人吃惊, 这就要看名字上了什么样的花名册。荷兰语把我们所知道的roster(花名册)与gridiron(烤架)联系了起来,rooster 意为“烤架”(源于动词 roosten ,意思是“烤”), 词义延伸后意为“表格,名单”。该词之所以有这样的延伸义是因为烤架与被平行线分成表格的纸张有相似之处。roster 一词从荷兰语中借用后,在英语中(第一次记载于1727年)最早运用于军事, 指粗略记录军官、士兵和部队轮流执行任务的名单或计划。 Roster 不再为军队专用,也不仅仅表示“轮班的名单”的意思,烧烤时我们甚至可以用“烤肉的肉单”〔superficial〕A cursory inspection of the house failed to reveal its structural flaws. 对房子粗略的检查未能发现它结构上的问题 〔because〕A traditional rule holds that the constructionthe reason is because is redundant, and should be avoided in favor of the reason is that. The usage is well established, however, and can be justified by analogy to constructionssuch asHis purpose in calling her was so that she would be forewarned of the change in schedule or The last time I saw her was when she was leaving for college. All three constructions are somewhat less than graceful, however. ·Whenbecause follows a negated verb phrase, it should be preceded by a comma when thebecause clause explains why the event did not occur. He didn't marry her, because she was frivolous means roughly, "Her frivolity was his reason for not marrying her.”When no comma is used, thebecause clause is understood as part of what is being negated. He didn't marry her because she was frivolous means roughly, "His reason for marrying her was independent of her frivolity.”See Usage Note at as 1传统的原则认为结构the reason is because 太累赘,应避免,而赞同使用 the reason is that 。 这种用法被广泛地接受,并可以用类似的结构证明是正确的,如他 呼唤她 的目的是以便 她能预先知道时间安排的改变 ,或者 最近 一次 我看见她是 当 她正要去学院时。 然而所这三种结构都有不够完美的地方。当because 跟着一个否定动词短语时, 该在它前面加一个逗号来表示这个because 从句解释的是为什么这件事 没有 发生。 他不娶她,因为她很轻浮。 粗略的意思是, “她的轻浮是他不娶她的原因。”当没有用逗号时,这个because 从句被理解为被否定的部分。 他不娶她不是因为她轻薄, 粗略的意思是, “他和她结婚的原因与她的轻薄无关。” 参见 as1〔rough〕Not perfected, completed, or fully detailed:概略的:不完善、未完成或粗略的:〔passing〕Cursory or superficial; casual:匆匆的,不经心的:粗略的或表面的;随便的:〔glance〕A brief or cursory look:浏览:粗略的或仓促的看:〔pigeonhole〕A specific, often oversimplified category.分类:特定的、通常是粗略的分类〔cursory〕Performed with haste and scant attention to detail:粗略的:仓促进行并对细节缺乏注意的:〔jollyboat〕A medium-sized ship's boat used for rough work and minor tasks.船载小工作艇: 等大小的船只上所载的小艇,用来完成粗略工作及次要任务〔billhook〕An implement with a curved blade attached to a handle, used especially for clearing brush and for rough pruning.锚钩:长柄上有一卷刃的工具,尤用于清理灌丛和粗略修枝〔pastel〕A sketchy or brief prose work.随笔:粗略的或简短的散文作品〔roughcast〕A rough preliminary model or form.毛坯,雏形:粗略的模型或形式〔thumbnail〕Brief; cursory:简洁的;粗略的:〔glimpse〕A brief, incomplete view or look.一瞥,一看:短促的,粗略的一瞥或一看 |
