英语词汇edifice的意思、翻译、用法及例句-英语用法大全

词组	edifice
释义	edifice This word has been cited as a pompous synonym for building by commentators dating back as far as Fowler 1926, but our evidence suggests that pomposity is not so much a characteristic of the word itself as of the buildings it describes. Edifice almost always refers to a large, massive, and imposing structure, in which use it is not pompous but descriptively appropriate: • ... various imposing San Antonio edifices, including the old Opera House —Green Peyton, San Antonio: City in the Sun, 1946 • The lastest Hilton edifice is scheduled to open for business in July in Beverly Hills. It is a $15,000,000 450-room hideaway on an eight-acre tract —Gladwin Hill, N.Y. Times, 10 Apr. 1955 • ... an immense, cupolaed edifice of red brick on the hill —Richard Wolkomir, Vermont Life, Winter 1969
