英语词汇rarefy, rarify的意思、翻译、用法及例句-英语用法大全

词组	rarefy, rarify
释义	rarefy, rarify Rarefy is the usual spelling, but rarify has been in use as a variant since the 15th century. The earliest citations in the OED for this word, in fact, show it spelled with an -i-. Examples of the -i- spelling in standard, edited prose are extremely easy to come by: • ... in an increasingly rarified atmosphere —Walter Millis, Center Mag., January 1968 • ... by rarified philosophical speculation —Times Literary Supp., 18 Dec. 1969 • ... how one rarified precedent may ... follow from another —David Riley, The Washingtonian, November 1970 • ... the rarified chambers of the museum —Susan Sidlauskas, Vogue, June 1982 • His suits are off the peg, and not a rarified peg — Diane Sustendal, N.Y. Times Mag., 25 Mar. 1984 Nevertheless, rarify is widely regarded as a spelling error, so if you want to avoid possible criticism, however mild, we recommend that you choose the more common spelling, rarefy.
