| 单词 | 被期望 |
| 释义 | 〔heir〕One who receives or is expected to receive a heritage, as of ideas, from a predecessor.继承者，后继者：从前人身上继承或被期望即将继承一种遗产如思想的人〔irony〕Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs:讽刺意味：可能被期望的与实际发生的情况间的不一致：〔overdue〕Expected or required but not yet having come about.期待发生的：被期望或要求但仍未发生的〔prospective〕Likely or expected to happen.有希望的：可能或被期望会发生的〔due〕Anticipated; looked for:被期望的；盼望的：〔rendezvous〕A word that refers to the process of bringing two spacecraft together and to a meeting between lovers might be thought to have a source having to do with connection.The history ofrendezvous, however, had originally to do with the process of getting to a meeting place. The French wordrendezvous, which English borrowed, is made up of the second person plural imperative of the verb rendre, meaning in this case "to present or betake,” and vous, the second person plural reflexive pronoun meaning "yourselves.” The wordrendezvous in French denoted the place at which you were supposed to present yourselves or the meeting you were to attend. The first recorded use of the word in English (1591) is for a place where troops are to assemble.用来指把两个宇宙飞船连接在一起的过程或者情人之间的约会的某个词语可能被认为具有与连接有关的词源。然而，rendezvous 一词的历史最初与前往某个会面地点的过程有关。 Rendzvous 这一英语中借用的法语词语是由意为“出现或去往”的动词 rendre 的第二人称复数的祈使形态以及意为“你们自己”的 vous 的第二人称复数的反身代词构成的。 在法语中，rendezvous 一词指的是你被期望要出现的地方或者你将要参加的会议。 在英语中该词的第一个有记载的用法(1951年）是指军队将要集合的地方〔prospect〕Something expected; a possibility.期待：被期望的某物；可能性〔nonevent〕An anticipated or highly publicized event that does not occur or proves anticlimactic or boring.被期望但未实现的事：预期要发生或普遍知道而没有发生或证明是不合时宜的或不受欢迎的事件〔materialize〕In its original sensesmaterialize is used intransitively to mean "to assume material form,” as inMarley's ghost materialized before Scrooge's eyes, or transitively to mean "to cause to assume material form,” as inDisney materialized his dream in a plot of orchard land in Orange County. But these uses are probably less common nowadays than two extended senses of the intransitive sense of the verb.In the first the meaning is roughly "to appear suddenly,”as inNo sooner had we set the menu down than a waiter materialized at our table. Some critics have labeled this use incorrect,but the criticism may suggest an overliteralism;used in this way,the verb has the sense "to appear as if by magic.”Materialize also means "to take effective shape, come into existence,” particularly as applied to things or events that have been foreseen or anticipated: materialize 的最初含义是作为不及物动词时意思是“具有物质形式，” 例如在玛雷的鬼魂在斯克鲁奇眼前显现了 一句中或作及物动词时意思是“使具有物质形式，” 例如在迪斯尼在奥兰治郡的一块果园实现了他的梦想 中。 但是现在这两种用法也许不如该词作为不及物动词的两种延伸的用法更为常见。第一种用法的大致意思是指“突然出现，”例如在我们刚放下菜单不久，侍者就突然出现在我们的饭桌旁 中。 一些批评家认为这种用法不准确，但是这种批评未免太拘泥于字面意思；同样这种用法下，该词还有“仿佛由于魔力而出现”的意思。Materialize 还有“显形，显效，出现”的含义， 尤其适用在已经预料到或被期望的事物。 〔unpromising〕Not likely to develop in a desirable manner:无前途的：不太可能以一种被期望的方式发展的： |
