| 释义 | extended Used as an adjective, extended often has the sense, "notably long; prolonged, lengthy": • ... went on an extended vacation —Current Biography, October 1965 • ... even after extended exposure to mirrors —Gordon G. Gallup, Jr., Psychology Today, March 1971 • ... had been to Europe on an extended trip —Gail Cameron, Ladies' Home Jour., August 1971 This sense is both old and respectable, but two recent commentators (Flesch 1964 and Copperud 1970, 1980) have expressed disapproval of it, regarding it as, at best, a poor substitute for long. We see little basis for such an opinion, and the usage is, in any case, clearly standard in the examples above and many others in our files. |
