| 释义 | 〔brunette〕Brunette was for a long time used to denote a woman having a dark complexion; now it is used chiefly in reference to hair color.The general practice is to use the formbrunette to refer only to women, withbrunet as a less frequently used variant that can be applied as well to men and mixed groups. The distinction, like the one betweenblonde and blond, has been regarded as carrying sexist implications.In this case, however, it is difficult to see how the problem can be easily resolved.It is unlikely thatbrunette could be pressed into service as a neutral term, since the suffix-ette is too closely associated with marked feminine gender. Brunet is theoretically available for both sexes but is rarely applied to men, whose corresponding coloration is typically described simply as "brown.”It would, of course, be possible to usebrown for the hair color of both sexes, if only that word could be redeemed from the associations of drabnessthat led to the adoption of the substitutebrunette in the first place. See Usage Note at blond ,-ette Brunette 过去很长一段时间用来指肤色黝黑的女人； 现今多用于指头发的颜色。通常brunette 只指女人， 而不如其常用的变体brunet 可用于指男人和男女都有的群体。 两词的区别正如blonde 和 blond 的区别， 被看成带有性别的含意。即使如此也很难看出如何轻易地解决两词之间区别的这一难题。brunette 不可能被看成一个中性词， 因为后缀-ette 与女性紧密联系。 Brunet 从道理上来说适用于男人和女人，但很少用于指男人。 男人相应的肤色仅用brown表述即可。当然，brown 也可适用于指男女两性的头发颜色， 只要此词不再与卖淫联系在一起。正是由于这一联系brunette 才首先被用作替代词 参见 blond,-ette〔totemism〕A belief in totems or in kinship through common affiliation to a totem.图腾崇拜：对图腾的信仰或因与某一图腾所共有的紧密联系对血亲关系的信仰〔totemism〕A social system based on affiliations to totems.图腾制度：基于图腾的紧密联系之上的一种社会制度〔cadre〕A tightly knit group of zealots who are active in advancing the interests of a revolutionary party.小组：由积极发展某一革命党的狂热分子组成的一个紧密联系在一起的组织〔totem〕A social group having a common affiliation to such an object.有共同图腾的民族：与这样一种物体共同紧密联系在一起的社会群体〔affiliate〕To become closely connected or associated:紧密联合，紧密联系：〔divorce〕A complete or radical severance of closely connected things.分离：紧密联系的事物之间的完全的或急剧的分离〔syngeneic〕Genetically identical or closely related, so as to allow tissue transplant; immunologically compatible:同源的，同系的，免疫相容的：基因相同或紧密联系的，便于进行器官移植；免疫相容的：〔metonymy〕A figure of speech in which one word or phrase is substituted for another with which it is closely associated, as in the use ofWashington for the United States government or of the sword for military power. 换喻，转喻：一种一个词或词组被另一个与之有紧密联系的词或词组替换的修辞方法，如用华盛顿 代替 美政府 或用 剑 代替 军事力量 〔Gbe〕A closely related group of languages, including Ewe and Fon, that are spoken in coastal Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria.吉贝语：一组紧密联系的语言，包括埃维语和丰语，主要讲于加纳海岸、多哥、贝宁和尼日利亚〔wing〕A group affiliated with or subordinate to an older or larger organization.支派，附属机构：从属于或与一个更古老或更大的组织紧密联系的集团 |
