| 单词 | 较慢 |
| 释义 | 〔mudslide〕A mudflow, especially a slow-moving one.泥流：泥流，尤指流速较慢的一类〔slow〕Taking more time than is usual:较慢的，缓慢的：花费的时间比通常要长的：〔quality〕"Natural Selection, entailing Divergence of Character and the Extinction of less-improved forms" (Charles Darwin).Atrait is a single, clearly delineated characteristic, as of a person or group of people: “自然选择，特性的遗传变异和进化较慢的形式的退化” （查尔斯·达尔文）。trait 是一种单一的、清晰地描绘出的特点，如一个人或一群人的： 〔absquatulate〕The vibrant energy of American English sometimes appears in the use of Latin affixes to create jocular pseudo-Latin "learned" words.There is a precedent for this in the language of Shakespeare,whose plays contain scores of made-up Latinate words.Midlandabsquatulate has a prefix ab-, "away from,” and a suffix-ate, "to act upon in a specified manner,” affixed to a nonexistent base form-squatul-, probably suggested bysquat. Hence the whimsicalabsquatulate, "to squat away from.” Another such coinage is Northernbusticate, which joins bust with -icate by analogy with verbs like medicate. Southernargufy joins argue to a redundant -fy, "to make; cause to become.” These creations are largely confined to regions of the United States where change is slow,and where the 19th-century love for Latinate words and expressions is still manifest.For example, Appalachian speech is characterized by the frequent use ofrecollect, aggravate, oblige, and other such words. 美国英语的创造力有时表现在用拉丁文词缀去创造滑稽的假拉丁文“文雅”的单词。莎士比亚的语言是一先行者，他的戏剧中有大量创造出来的拉丁词。中部地区的absquatulate 有一前缀 ab-， 表“离开，走开，” 和一个后缀-ate， 表“以特殊方式行事，” 这些再加在一个不存在的词根上-squatul-， 也许是由squat 而来的。 所以奇特的absquatulate 表“走开，离开。” 另外一个这样的造词是从北部的busticate 来的，这是把 bust 加上 -icate 变来的，如同源动词 medicate。 南部的argufy 把 argue 加上多余的 -fy， 意为“变成；使成为”。 这种造词只见于美国变化较慢的地区，在那儿仍保持了19世纪那种喜好拉丁语词语的习惯。比如在阿巴拉契亚地区的语言中，如同recollect，aggravate，oblige 和其他这样一些词经常被使用的 〔stupid〕Slow anddumb imply chronic sluggishness of perception, reaction, or understanding: Slow 以及dumb 指领悟、反应或理解的速度较慢： 〔wow〕Slow variation in the pitch of a sound reproduction resulting from variations in the speed of the recording or reproducing equipment.音符失真，声音走音：由于录音或放声装置中速度的变化而引起的，在放声中出现的较慢的音调变化〔lag〕To proceed or develop with comparative slowness:缓慢的进行：以相对较慢的速度行进或发展： |
