释义 | 〔analyze〕The central meaning shared by these verbs is "to separate into constituent parts for study": 这些动词共有的中心意思是“分成各个组成部分进行研究”: 〔stalactite〕The wordsstalagmite and stalactite have confused many a person. A look into the history of the Greek sources of these two words may help.Both words can be traced back to the wordstalassein, "to drip,” which is appropriatesince both words denote deposits in caves formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water.The Greek base from whichstalassein was formed was stalak- and to this base were added several endings that concern us,specifically-ma, a noun suffix most frequently denoting the result of an action, -mo-, a suffix denoting the action of a verb as well as a result, and -to-, an adjective suffix forming verbal adjectives. With these suffixes and the addition of the inflectional endings, as well as a sound change from (k) to (g) before (m),we getstalagma, "that which drops, a drop,” stalagmos, "dropping, dripping of stalactites,” and stalaktos, "dropping, dripping.” Using these Greek words,Olaus Wormius formed the Modern Latin wordstalactītēs, the stalac- part meaning "dripping" and the-ītēs part being commonly used to name fossils and minerals when preceded by a form expressing a physical characteristic, in this case "dripping.” Wormius also used the termstalagmītēs, the stalag- portion expressing the notion of what drops, taken either fromstalagma, "that which drops, a drop,” or stalagmos, "dropping of stalactites.” Stalactītēs and stalagmītēs, of course, are the sources of our English words stalactite (first recorded in 1677), the formation on the tops of caves, and stalagmite (first recorded in 1681), the formation on the bottoms of caves. They have been causing trouble ever since.单词stalagmite 和 stalactite 令许多人混淆。 对这两个词的希腊起源历史进行研究可能会帮助理解。这两个字都能追溯到单词stalassein (“滴下”), 这是很恰当的,因为两个字都表示洞里由富含矿物的水下滴而形成的沉积。形成stalassein 的希腊根源是 stalak- , 在这个根源上加上几个与我们有关的词尾,特别是-ma (往往用来表示动作结果的名词后缀), -mo- (用来表示动词的动作和结果的后缀)和 -to- (形成动词性形容词的形容词后缀)。 通过这些后缀和屈折变化词尾的添加以及在(m)前面由(k)到(g)的变音,我们得到了stalagma (“滴下的东西,一滴”)、 stalagmos “滴,滴下钟乳石”和 stalaktos (“落下,滴下的”)。 利用这些希腊字,奥罗斯·沃米斯组成了现代拉丁单词stalactites , stalac- 意指“滴”。 而-ites 当由一个表示物理特征的形式开头时,通常用来表示化石和矿物,指“滴下”。 沃米斯也使用stalagmites , stalag- 表示滴下的东西的概念, 源于stalagma (“滴下的东西,一滴”)或 stalagmos (“滴下的钟乳石”)。 stalacitites 和 stalagmites ,当然是我们的英语单词 stalactite (首次出现于1677年)即洞穴顶部的形成物和 stalagmite (最早记载于1681年)即洞穴底部的形成物的源头。 自那以后它们就常造成一些麻烦〔Fechner〕German psychologist and physicist who studied the relationship between strength of stimulus and intensity of sensation, thereby founding psychophysics.费克纳,古斯塔夫·狄奥多里克:(1801-1887) 德国心理学家及物理学家,他对刺激力量与感情强烈程度之间的关系进行研究,进而创立了物理心理学〔student〕alteration influenced by Latin studēre [to study] 受 拉丁语 studēre的影响 [进行研究] 〔destain〕To remove stain from (a specimen) to aid in microscopic study.使褪色:为有助于用显微镜进行研究而使(标本)褪色〔techie〕One who studies or is highly interested or proficient in a technical field, especially electronics.技师:在技术领域进行研究或对此很感兴趣或很熟练的人,尤指在电子学方面〔demography〕The study of the characteristics of human populations, such as size, growth, density, distribution, and vital statistics.人口统计学:对人口特征,例如数量、增长情况、密度、分布和人口动态统计等进行研究的学科〔read〕To study or learn by reading:研读:通过阅读进行研究或学习:〔submarine〕The long sandwich featuring layers of meat and cheese on a crusty Italian roll goes by a variety of names.Submarine, sub, and hero are widespread terms, not assignable to any particular region.Most of the localized terms are clustered in the northeast United States,where the greatest numbers of Italian Americans live.Jane Stern, having studied the great variety of American names for this sandwich, finds that upstate New Yorkers call it abomber, while speakers downstate refer to awedge. In the Delaware Valley,including Philadelphia and southern New Jersey,the sandwich is called ahoagie. In Italian restaurants in New England the menu is likely to include agrinder. Speakers in Miami use the nameCuban sandwich and in Maine,Italian sandwich, but in the southern Midwest, according to Stern, the nameItalian is common, with both Italian and Italian sandwich recapturing the authentic nationality of the sandwich. In New Orleansthe same sandwich is called apoor boy and is likely to be offered in a most un-Italian version featuring fried oysters.在意大利长圆面包上放上几层肉和干酪而做成的长三明治,已有好几个名称。Submarine,sub 以及 hero 是使用最为广泛的名称, 而并非哪个地区的专用。这种三明治的大多数地方性名称集中于美国东北部地区,那里是居住意裔美国人最多的地方。简·斯特恩在对这种三明治的各种美国名称进行研究后发现,纽约州北部的居民称之为bomber(轰炸机) , 而纽约州南部的居民称之为wedge(楔形物) 。 在特拉华河谷,包括费城和新泽西南部,这种三明治叫做hoagie 。 在新英格兰的意大利饭馆的菜单上,它称为grinder 。 迈阿密人则使用古巴三明治 这个名称, 而缅因州人使用意大利三明治 这个名称。 依据斯特恩的研究,在中西部的南部,人们普遍使用Italian(意大利式) 这一名称,或者就叫它 意大利式 ,或者称之为 意大利三明治 。这两个名称都反映了该三明治的原产国。 在新奥尔良,相同的三明治又叫做可怜的男孩 , 而其做法绝对是非意大利式的,因为当中夹有牡蛎〔dendrochronology〕The study of climate changes and past events by comparing the successive annual growth rings of trees or old timber.年轮学,树木年代学:通过比较树木或旧木材的连续年轮的生长情况对气候的变化和过去的事件进行研究的学科〔research〕He spent a week at a funeral home researching mortuary procedures for his new novel, 他在一个举行葬礼的家庭中呆了二星期以对他的新小说中的丧葬程序进行研究这个句子, 〔Mullikan〕American chemist and physicist.
