词组 | ring |
释义 | 1. ring,ring back,ring in,ring off, ring around 表示“打电话”,主要是英国用语,美国人常说 call,call back,call in, hang off, call a- round: I would ring when I got back from Oxford. I'll call you when I get back. He started ringing around his classmates. He started calling around his ro- ommates. 2. ring road ( 环城公路 ) 是英国用语,中国的“内环公路”也可译成 ring road,上海的“( 高架) 内环线”一般译成 viaduct。 3. 美国的“环城公路”常叫 beltway, 如华盛顿特区就有 beltway,因而产生了下列词组: inside the beltway ( 指华盛顿特区 “圈内”特有的政治、思想、行为方式等) outside the beltway( 指华盛顿特区以外的地区) riot,revolt,uprising 这组词都有“暴乱”的含义。 1. riot 所含的“暴乱”,意思在这组词中最弱,一般指“群众街头聚众闹事”等,强调“喧闹、嘈杂、失控”等,不一定有组织地进行: The sudden increase in food prices led to riots in the streets. 2. revolt 尤指“许多人采取非法手段,旨在推翻某种政治制度”: It's a revolt by ordinary people against their government. 3. uprising 侧重指“用武力试图推翻统治者”,常有褒义: It's a popular uprising against the authoritarian government. |
