释义 | scene The most recent extended senses of scene have been the object of some disparagement from usage commentators. Our files show that the vogue for these senses in the middle 1970s has fallen off considerably in the 1980s, but they are still found from time to time: • ... the local police are powerless to control the drug scene that flourishes in this part of the village —Kim Waller, Town & Country, September 1983 • "It's a bad scene all the way around," said Chauncy J. Medberry, former chairman of BankAmerica Corp. —Patrick Boyle, Los Angeles Times, 23 Sept. 1984 • But come here not for the food but the crowd, which is the ne plus ultra of the downtown scene —Elle, May 1986 As the vogue for these senses passes and they become a settled part of the vocabulary, they are likely to draw less critical attention. They are certainly standard in general writing. |
