desperate ☞desperateadj. [′despǝrǝt]
双解释义 1. 不顾一切的,拼命的 ready to do anything regardless of danger 2. A 铤而走险的,孤注一掷的 tried when all else has failed 3. P 极想望的,极需要的 in great need 4. 危急的,极严重的 extremely difficult and dangerous 基本要点 1. desperate的基本意思是因绝望而“不顾一切的,拼命的”。2. desperate作“极想要的,极需要的”解时,在句中常作表语,且与for连用。3. desperate还可指在别无选择的情况下而作出的最后努力,即“铤而走险的,孤注一掷的”,但这种努力成功的希望却很渺茫,此时在句中常作定语。词汇搭配 副词+~ be somewhat ~ 有点绝望~+介词 be ~ at 因…而绝望 be ~ for 极想…句型例句 用作定语 ▲ ~+n.
