单词 | 面貌 |
释义 | 〔stern〕Grim, gloomy, or forbidding in appearance or outlook.苛刻的:外观或面貌上严酷的;不高兴的〔favor〕When a Southernerfavors a relative, he or she is not giving that person special privileges;rather, the Southerner looks like that relative.Favor can be either transitive— She favors her father — or intransitive with a compound subject: She and her father favor. This sense offavor goes back to early modern English: "This young lord Chamont/Favors my mother" (Ben Jonson).The verb derives from the nounfavor, which was used from the 15th to the 19th century to mean "appearance, aspect; the countenance, face": "What makes thy favor like the bloodless head/Fall'n on the block?” (Tennyson).This sense of the noun is now archaic,but the verb thrives in the English of the Southern United States.当一个南方人favors 一个亲属, 他(或她)不是给这个人特权;而是这个南方人长得像那个亲属。Favor 可以是及物的—— 她像她父亲—— 或不及物的,与复合主语连用: 她和她父亲相象。 Favor 的这种含义可以上溯到早期的现代英语: “这个年轻的贵族像我妈妈” (本·杰森)。这动词来源于名词favor, 在15世纪到19世纪被作为“外貌,样子;面貌,脸部”的意思用: “什么使你的脸毫无血色,脑袋耷拉下来?” (坦尼森)。名词的这一用法现在已经陈旧了,但动词仍在美国南部英语中流行〔Manhattanize〕To transform the appearance and character of (a city) by constructing tall and densely situated buildings.以高楼密集化改变:用建造密集高楼大厦的方式来改变(某城市)的面貌和特点〔townscape〕The appearance of a town or city; an urban scene:城市景观:镇或城市的面貌;城市景象:〔aspect〕A particular look or facial expression; mien:容貌,表情:一种特别的样子或面貌表情;面貌:〔lambrequin〕diminutive of Middle Dutch lamper [veil] 中古荷兰语 lamper的小后缀 [面貌] 〔semblance〕An outward or token appearance:外观,外貌:外在的面貌或表象:〔god〕The force, effect, or a manifestation or aspect of this being.神迹,启示:上帝的权力、能力、显现或面貌〔nightscape〕A night scene considered together with all the elements and features constituting it:夜全景:将所有因素和面貌全部包括在内的夜景:〔favor〕To resemble another in appearance:相象:与另一个在面貌上相仿:〔pretend〕To give a false appearance of; feign:伪装:显示一副假面貌;伪装:〔handsome〕Pleasing and dignified in form or appearance.See Synonyms at beautiful 好看的:身材或面貌上让人愉快的,端庄的 参见 beautiful〔obvert〕To alter the appearance of.换面:改变…的面貌 |
