| 释义 | 〔span〕To measure by or as if by the fully extended hand.以掌测量：用或象是用全部张开的掌距测量〔affectation〕He had a mannerism of closing his eyes as he talked, as if he were deep in thought. 他有闭着眼睛说话的习惯，好象是在沉思中。 〔pin〕To fasten or secure with or as if with a pin or pins.用别针别住：用别针或象是用别针固定住〔dinosaur〕"The old, big-city teaching hospital is a dinosaur"(Peggy Breault)“古老的大城市教学医院象是一个恐龙”(佩吉·布劳尔特)〔floating〕Buoyed on or suspended in or as if in a fluid.漂浮的：是或好象是浮在或悬在液体中的〔confessional〕Of, relating to, or resembling confession.忏悔的：忏悔的、与忏悔有关的、或象是忏悔的〔colorable〕Seemingly true or genuine; plausible.See Synonyms at plausible 似乎有理的：好象是真的或真诚的；似乎有理的 参见 plausible〔enrobe〕To dress in or as if in a robe.使穿或好象是穿长袍〔lobster〕A lobster and a locust may share a common source for their name,that is, the Latin wordlocusta, which was used for the locustand also for a crustacean that was probably a kind of lobster.We can see thatlocusta would be the source of locust, but it looks like an unlikely candidate as the source oflobster. It is thought, however, that Old Englishloppestre, the ancestor of lobster, was formed from locusta and the suffix-estre used to make agent nouns (our -ster ). The change from Latinlocusta to Old English loppestre may have been influenced by Old English loppe, meaning "spider.” 龙虾和蝗虫的名字可能源于同一出处，即拉丁词Locusta ， 它用于指蝗虫，也用于表示可能是一种龙虾的甲壳类动物。我们可以看到，Locusta 可能是 locusa 的来源， 但不象是lobster 的来源。 但是，lobster 在古英语里的前身 loppestre 被认为是由 locusta 形成的， 后缀-estre 用于组成代理者的名词（现在的 -soer ）。 从拉丁文locusta 到古英语 loppstre 的变化可能受古英语 loppe 的影响（意为“蜘蛛”） 〔put〕"Many status games seem designed to put down others"(Alvin F. Poussaint)“许多权位竞争好象是为战胜别人而设计的”(阿尔文F.普森特)〔conquer〕To gain or secure control of by or as if by force of arms:克服：用或好象是用武力获得或保证控制权：〔druggie〕"They're like druggies, but without drugs; they're drugged on their own apathy"(Pauline Kael)“他们象是瘾君子，但他们不用毒品，他们吸食自己的冷漠成瘾”(保利娜·克尔)〔emboss〕To decorate with or as if with a raised design:用浮雕装饰：用或好象是用凸起的图案装饰：〔trite〕Stereotyped refers to what is so lacking in originality or creative force that it seems a mechanical reproduction: Stereotyped 指的是某些东西极端缺乏新意或创造性，简直就象是机械的再生产： 〔male〕 Mannish usually applies to women or their traits, clothing, or actions when they are suggestive of what is deemed by some to be more proper to a man than to a woman: Mannish 常用来指女人或她们的性格、衣装或行为所具有的被一些人认为更象是男人的特点： 〔prostrate〕Lying face down, as in submission or adoration.俯伏的：面朝下躺着，好象是屈服或崇拜〔eat〕To consume, ravage, or destroy by or as if by ingesting:吞，蛀蚀：通过或象是通过消化来消耗、破坏：〔ridicule〕"Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort/As if he mock'd himself, and scorn'd his spirit" (Shakespeare).“他很少笑，笑时又以这样的神态/好象是在嘲笑自己并看不起自己的灵魂” （莎士比亚）。〔enchain〕To bind with or as if with chains.用链锁住，束缚：用链或象是用链绑住〔hothouse〕Delicate and sensitive, as if from growing up in a protective environment:纤弱的，敏感的，好象是在保护性环境中成长起来的：〔grasp〕To take hold of or seize firmly with or as if with the hand.抓住：用手或象是用手一样紧紧地抱住或抓住〔encyst〕To enclose in or as if in a cyst.把…包或象是包在囊内〔pillow〕To rest (one's head) on or as if on a pillow.搁于枕上：把头枕在或象是枕在枕头上〔concept〕In fields such as entertainment and advertising,concept is often used loosely to mean "a scheme, plan,” as inThe studio liked the concept for the new game show and decided to put it into development. Perhaps this usage sounds most at home in these industries.在娱乐与广告业中，concept 通常不很严格地指“一个设计、计划”， 例如这个体育馆好象是专门为展示和推动这种新活动而设计的。 可能在这种行业里的用法听起来更地道〔ditto〕Ditto, which at first glance seems a handy and insignificant sort of word, actually has a Roman past,for it comes fromdictus, "having been said,” the past participle of the verbdīcere, "to say.” In Italiandīcere became dire anddictus became detto, or in the Tuscan dialect ditto. Italiandetto or ditto meant what said does in English, as in the locution "the said story.”Thus in a construction such asDecember 22 the worddetto or ditto could be used by itself instead of the month nameat the next mention of a date in the same month, for example,26 detto. The first recorded use (1625) ofditto occurs in English in such a construction. The sense "copy" is an English development,first recorded in 1818. Ditto has even become a trademark for a duplicating machine,something that has not happened tosaid yet. Ditto 这个词第一眼看上去好象是一种方便的、无意义的词， 其实它出于过去的罗马，因为该词源自dictus “已说过的”， 是动词dicere “说”的过去分词。 在意大利语中，dicere 变成了 dire ， 而dictus 变成了 detto 或托斯卡纳方言的 ditto。 意大利语中的detto 或 ditto 的意义相当于现在英语中的 said ， 如惯用语"the said story"（该故事，上述故事）。因此在诸如这样的结构December 22 (12月22日）中， 当下面提及同一个月的某一天时，就可用detto 或 ditto 来代替月份， 例如，26 detto (12月26日）。 ditto 一词的最初有记录的用法(1625年）出现在英语的这种结构中。 “复制”这一词义是在英语中发展起来的，最早的记录在1818年， Ditto 甚至成了复印机的商标，而said 还没有 〔buffet〕A blow or cuff with or as if with the hand.殴打：用手或象是用手的殴打〔binge〕"The story is like a fever dream that a disturbed and imaginative city-dweller might have after binging on comics"(Lloyd Rose)“这故事象是一群失去控制的、富于想象力的城市居民在放纵嘻闹之后做的狂热之梦”(劳埃德·罗斯)〔like〕They are as like as two siblings.他们象是亲兄弟〔dispensation〕An exemption or a release from an obligation or a rule, granted by or as if by an authority.免除责任：由官方授权或好象是官方授权的义务或规定的豁免或免除〔dynamite〕To blow up, shatter, or otherwise destroy with or as if with dynamite.破坏：用或象是用炸弹破坏、爆炸或其他形式的破坏〔lather〕To spread with or as if with lather.以泡沫覆盖：通过或好象是通过肥皂泡来扩散〔daughter〕A woman considered as if in a relationship of child to parent:某国家的妇女：被认为好象是处于孩子同父母关系的女子：〔shall〕You and she shall leave tomorrow is likely to be interpreted as a command. 你和她明天将离开则特别象是一个命令。 〔handle〕He handles an ax like a born woodsman.他使起斧子就象是一个天生在森林中居住的人。〔earnest〕"Both sides are deeply in earnest, with passions that approximate those of civil war"(Conor Cruise O'Brien)“双方都很坚决认真，象是鼓足劲要打一场内战”(康纳·克鲁斯·奥布赖恩)〔be〕Traditional grammar requires the nominative form of the pronoun in the predicate of the verbbe : It is I (not me ); That must be they (not them ), and so forth. Even literate speakers of Modern English have found the rule difficult to conform to,but the stigmatization ofIt is me is by now so deeply lodged among the canons of correctness that there is little likelihood that the construction will ever be entirely acceptable in formal writing.Adherence to the traditional rule in informal speech, however, has come to sound increasingly pedantic,and begins to sound absurd when the verb is contracted, as inIt's we. · The traditional rule creates particular problems when the pronoun followingbe also functions as the object of a verb or preposition in a relative clause, as in It is not them/they that we have in mind when we talk about "crime in the streets" nowadays, where the plural pronoun serves as both the predicate ofis and the object of have. In this example, 57 percent of the Usage Panel preferred the nominative formthey, 33 percent preferred the accusativethem, and 10 percent accepted both versions.But H.W. Fowler, like other authorities, argued that the use of the nominative here is an error caused by "the temptation . . . to assume, perhaps from hearingIt is me corrected to It is I, that a subjective [nominative] case cannot be wrong after the verb to be. ” Writers can usually find a way to avoid this problem: They are not the ones we have in mind, We have someone else in mind, and so on. See Usage Note at I 1we 传统语法要求系动词谓语中的代词用主格形式be ： It is I （而不是 me ）； That must be they （而不是 them ），等等。 即使现代英语有文化的人也发现很难遵守这个规则，而It is me 的烙印现在已深刻地印入了判断是否正确的准则之中， 以致很少有可能使这种用法在正式书面语中被完全接受。但是在非正式讲话中奉行传统规则已经日益变得象在卖弄学问。并且当系动词被缩减时，就象在It's we 中一样，听起来反而象是不合语法的。 当代词跟在be 后面做动词宾语或做关系从句中的介语宾语时，传统的规则就象在 当我们谈到当今“街上的犯罪”时，他们不是我们心中所想的那些人， 句中复数代词同时充当is 的宾语和 have 的宾语。 在这个例子中57%的用法使用小组更喜欢用主格形式they， 33%更喜欢用宾格形式them， 而10%则两种都接受。但是象其他的权威一样，H.W.福勒争论道，在这里用主格是一个错误，它之所以错是因为“多半听到了It is me 都被改正成 It is I 而拿不定主意，以为主格的情况在动词 to be 后面不可能错。” 作家们常常能够找到一个办法来避免这个问题： 他们不是我们所想的人，我们脑子里想的是另一些人等等 参见 I1we〔pillow〕To rest on or as if on a pillow.以…为枕：把头枕在或象是枕在枕垫上〔camp〕To live in or as if in a camp; settle:宿营：住在或象是住在营篷里；暂住：〔eat〕To produce by or as if by eating:啮食成…：啮或象是侵蚀而成：〔telescope〕To slide inward or outward in or as if in overlapping cylindrical sections:叠缩：交搭的圆柱部分或好象是交搭的圆柱部分向里或向外滑动： |
