| 释义 | 〔Gothic〕The combinationGothic romance represents a union of two of the major influences in the development of European culture, the Roman Empire and the Germanic tribes that invaded it.The Roman origins ofromance must be sought in the etymology of that word, but we can see clearly thatGothic is related to the name Goth used for one of the Germanic tribes that invaded the Roman Empire.The wordGothic, which is first recorded in 1611 in a reference to the language of the Goths, was extended in sense in several ways, meaning "Germanic,” "medieval, not classical,” "barbarous,”and also an architectural style that was not Greek or Roman.Gothic, originally in the sense "medieval, not classical,” was applied by Horace Walpole to his novelThe Castle of Otranto, a Gothic Story, published in 1765. From this novel,filled with scenes of terror and gloom in a medieval setting,have descended the Gothic romances of today.Gothic romance 的组合代表对欧洲文化发展起主要作用的两个事物的联合， 这两个事物就是罗马帝国和侵犯它的日耳曼部落。romance 的罗马语源必须从这个词的词源里去找， 但我们也很清楚Gothic 是跟 Goth 有关的， 这个词被侵犯罗马帝国的一个日耳曼人部落所使用。Gothic 1611年第一次出现在一本描绘哥特语的注释书里， 有几个意思：“日耳曼人的”，“中世纪的，非古典的，”“野蛮的，”和非希腊和罗马的建筑风格。Gothic 最初意思是“中世纪的，非古典的，” 在霍勒斯·沃波尔1765年出版的小说奥特朗托的城堡，哥特的故事 中出现。 这本小说里，在中世纪的背景衬托下，充满了恐怖、阴暗的画面，它开创了哥特式浪漫主义并流传至今〔define〕gentle hills that were defined against the sky.在天空的衬托下显得轮廓分明的丘陵〔foil〕To cover or back with foil.以箔覆盖或衬托〔sedge〕Any of numerous grasslike plants of the family Cyperaceae, having solid stems, leaves in three vertical rows, and spikelets of inconspicuous flowers, with each flower subtended by a scalelike bract.莎草，苔：任一种莎草科草状的植物，有结实的茎，叶子呈垂直三行排列，开不显眼的为被鱼鳞状苞叶所衬托的小穗状花朵〔setoff〕Something, such as a decoration, that sets off something else by contrast.衬托物：通过对比衬托他物的东西，如装饰品〔etch〕a landscape that is forever etched in my memory; trees that were etched against the winter sky.永远铭刻在我记忆中的一幅风景画；在冬日天空的衬托下轮廓清晰的树〔mounting〕Something that serves as a support, setting, or backing:底托：起支撑、背景或衬托作用的物体：〔line〕the line of the hills against the evening sky.夜空衬托下的山脉轮廓〔spikelet〕A small or secondary spike, characteristic of grasses and sedges, having a varying number of reduced flowers each subtended by one or two scalelike bracts.小穗，小穗状花序：禾草或蓑衣草所特有的一种小的或次级的穗，具有数目不等的由一至二片鳞状苞片衬托的渐少的小花〔form〕We glimpsed the profile of the church steeple against the last glow of the sunset.我们瞥见在最后的晚霞的衬托下的教堂尖顶。〔spathe〕A leaflike bract that encloses or subtends a flower cluster or spadix, as in the jack-in-the-pulpit and the calla.佛焰苞：一种包含或衬托花簇或花序的叶状苞，如天南星和马蹄莲上的佛焰苞 |
