| 释义 | 〔mysterious〕"The sea lies all about us. . . . In its mysterious past it encompasses all the dim origins of life" (Rachel Carson).What isesoteric is mysterious because it is known and understood by only a small, select group, as by a circle of initiates or the members of a profession: “海洋存在于我们的周围…在它神秘的过去，它一直笼罩着生活的暗面” （雷切尔·卡森）。esoteric 所指的神秘是因为它只被一小部分群体所理解， 如新入会的人的圈子或某一职业的成员： 〔disturb〕"Subterranean fires and deep unrest disturb the whole area"(Rachel Carson)“暗中的破坏和激烈的动荡使得整个地区陷于不安”(雷切尔·卡森)〔invade〕"About 1917 the shipworm invaded the harbor of San Francisco"(Rachel Carson)“约在1917年凿船虫袭击了旧金山港”(雷切尔·卡森)〔black〕"Man . . . has written one of his blackest records as a destroyer on the oceanic islands"(Rachel Carson)“人类…在海岛上成为破坏者，写下了最不光彩的记录之一”(雷切尔·卡森)〔lifestyle〕Whenlifestyle began to gain wide currency a generation ago, a number of critics objected to it as voguish and superficial,perhaps because it appeared to elevate habits of consumption, dress, and recreation to a primary basis of social classification.Nonetheless, the word has proved durable and useful,if only because such categories doin fact figure importantly in the schemes that Americans commonly invoke in explaining social values and social behavior,whether appropriately or not,as in Rachel Brownstein's remark that 当life style 在上一代人中开始广泛使用时， 许多评论家认为这个词浅薄且只风行一时，因此反对它，这可能是因为它看上去把消费习惯、衣着和享乐上升为社会阶级划分的主要基点。但是，这个词证明是持久有用的，如果仅仅因为这些范畴，事实上确实成为美国人解释社会价值与社会行为时所采用的极其重要的标准，无论合适与否，例如在雷切尔·布朗斯坦的话中 |
