| 释义 | 〔convict〕"We need jurors . . . who will not convict merely because they are suspicious"(Scott Turow)“我们需要…不仅仅因为他们有嫌疑就判定他们有罪的陪审员”(斯科特·图罗)〔desensitize〕"The successive assassinations and attempts, not just on Presidential figures but on Martin Luther King Jr. and others, have desensitized us"(Anthony Lewis)“不仅仅是对总统级的人物，而且有对马丁·路德和其他人的连续的暗杀或企图，使我们变得冷漠麻木了”(安东尼·刘易斯)〔yonder〕The adverbyonder, from Old English geond, is not exclusively Southern but is more frequently used there than in any other region of the United States,and not only by older or uneducated speakers.Yonder is not merely a Southern synonym for there, which in the South tends to mean "only a few feet from the speaker.”Yonder carries with it an inherent sense of distance farther than "there" and is used if the person or thing indicated can be seen at all: the shed over yonder. Or it might be nearby but completely out of sight, as in the next room.副词yonder ，来自古英语的 geond， 并不是南方专用的，但是比美国任何其它地区都更常用，而且也不仅仅是老人或未受教育者才用它。在南方yonder 并不仅仅是 there 的同义词， 它还表示“距说话者仅几英尺开外”。Yonder 带有比"there"距离更远这一内在的含义， 并用于表示所示的人或事在视线以内： 那边的窝棚 ，或者极为相近但完全在视线以外，如在另一个房间内〔achieved〕"The author . . . is not merely lucky, but an achieved and deserving fiction writer"(Wright Morris)“这位作家…不仅仅是运气好，他是一个极为成功并且值得推崇的小说家”(赖特·莫里斯)〔wet〕 Wet describes not only what is covered or soaked ( Wet 不仅仅描述覆盖或浸满了液体( 〔cause〕"He is not only dull in himself,but the cause of dullness in others" (Samuel Foote). “他不仅仅是自己愚蠢，而且是引起他人愚蠢的原因” （塞缪尔·福特）。〔holler〕One feature of Upper Southern English and specifically of Appalachian English is its pronunciation of the final unstressed syllable in wordssuch ashollow, window, and potato as (-er). Holler, winder, and tater (immortalized as the name of the baby in Snuffy Smith ) are merely variant pronunciations reflected in spelling. A nounholler has the specific meaning in the Appalachians of "a small valley between mountains": They live up in the holler underneath Big Bald Mountain. 上南部英语，尤其阿巴拉契亚山脉地区英语的一个特征是单词的最后一个不重读音的音标，如(-er)在hollow，window 和 potato 中。 Holler，winder 和 tater （因变成 脾气急躁的史密斯 中婴儿名字而被永远记住了）不仅仅是反应在拼写中的变体音标。 名词holler 在阿巴拉契亚人心目中有其特殊的意思“山脉间的小山谷”： 他们居住在大鲍尔迪山下的山谷里 〔epic〕"Here in the courtroom . . . there was more of that epic atmosphere, the extra amperage of a special moment"(Scott Turow)“这里是审判室…不仅仅有其庄严的气氛，而且在这一特殊的时刻有着更强烈的震撼”(斯科特·图罗)〔real〕 Actual means existing and not merely potential or possible: Actual 不仅仅意为具有潜在性或可能性，而且是的确存在的： 〔dare〕Anyone who dares (not dare ) him to attempt (not just attempt ) it will be sorry. 任何敢于（不是 dare ) （不仅仅是 attempt ) 挑衅他去做的人会遗憾的 〔individual〕"This is not only a crisis of individuals, but also of a society" (Raymond Williams). “这不仅仅是个人的危机，而且是社会的危机” （雷蒙德·威廉姆斯）。 〔actual〕Existing and not merely potential or possible.See Synonyms at real 1事实上的，实际的：存在着的，不仅仅是潜在的或可能的 参见 real1〔general〕Not limited to or dealing with one class of things; diversified:多样的，普通的：不限于或不仅仅处理一种事物的；多元化的：〔male〕 Male, likefemale, categorizes by sex; the term is not limited in application to human beings: Male， 象female 一样，指的是性别的分类； 这个词不仅仅限于用指人类的性别： 〔alleged〕Analleged burglar is someone who has been accused of being a burglar but against whom no charges have been proved. Analleged incident is an event that is said to have taken place but has not yet been verified. In their zeal to protect the rights of the accused,newspapers and law enforcement officials sometimes misusealleged. A man arrested for murder may be only analleged murderer, for example, but he is a real, not analleged, suspect in that his status as a suspect is not in doubt. Similarly, if the money from a safe is known to have been stolen and not merely mislaid,then we may safely speak of a theft without having to qualify our description withalleged. 一个alleged（有嫌疑的） 强盗是指被指控为强盗但并未得到证实的人。 alleged（据称的） 的事件是一件据说发生过但还未被证实的事。 出于保护被指控者权力的热情，报界和执法官员有时误用alleged 这个词。 比如说，一个因谋杀而被捕的人，可能只是个alleged（有嫌疑的） 谋杀犯， 但当他是真正的而不是alleged（据称的） 嫌疑犯时，那么他身为嫌疑犯的处境就是毫无疑问的。 与此相似，如果放在保险箱里的钱已知是被人偷走而不仅仅是放错了，那么我们应该可以毫不犹豫地把它说成盗窃案而不用加alleged 这个词来限定我们的描述 〔proper〕wanted a proper dinner, not just a snack.需要一顿真正的晚餐，而不仅仅是点心而已〔bad〕"The unconscious is not just evil by nature, it is also the source of the highest good" (Carl Jung). “无意识不仅仅是本性邪恶，而且是以前错误和羞愧的来源” （卡尔·荣格）。〔roster〕To be told that the wordroster is related to a gridiron upon which one roasts meat might not come as a surprise, depending on what sort of rosters one's name has graced.The connection between the roster as we know it and a gridiron was made in Dutch,where the wordrooster, meaning "gridiron" (from the verb roosten, "to roast"), was extended in sense to mean "a table, list.”This extension was made because of the resemblance of a gridiron to a piece of paper divided by parallel lines that contains a list or table.The earliest use in English (first recorded in 1727) for the wordroster borrowed from Dutch was military, referring to a list or plan that outlined when officers, men, and bodies of troops should perform their turn of duty. Roster is no longer exclusively military in usage,nor does it mean simply a list of rotating turns of duty;one could perhaps even have a roster of meats to be roasted at a barbecue.如果说roster 一词与供烤肉用的烧烤架有关也许不会令人吃惊， 这就要看名字上了什么样的花名册。荷兰语把我们所知道的roster（花名册）与gridiron（烤架）联系了起来，rooster 意为“烤架”（源于动词 roosten ，意思是“烤”）， 词义延伸后意为“表格，名单”。该词之所以有这样的延伸义是因为烤架与被平行线分成表格的纸张有相似之处。roster 一词从荷兰语中借用后，在英语中（第一次记载于1727年）最早运用于军事， 指粗略记录军官、士兵和部队轮流执行任务的名单或计划。 Roster 不再为军队专用，也不仅仅表示“轮班的名单”的意思，烧烤时我们甚至可以用“烤肉的肉单”〔oyez〕Hearing the cry "Oyez, oyez, oyez,” in a courtroommay have puzzled more than one auditor,especially if pronounced "O yes.” (Many people have thought that in fact it is likeO yes. ) This cry serves to remind us that up until the 18th century,speaking English in a British court of law was not requiredand one could instead use Law French,a form of French that evolved after the Norman Conquest, when Anglo-Norman became the language of the official class in England.Oyez descends from the Anglo-Norman oyez, the plural imperative form ofoyer, "to hear"; thusoyez means "hear ye" and was used as a call for silence and attention. Although it would have been much heard in Medieval England,it is first recorded as an English word fairly late in the Middle English period,in a work composed around 1425.在审判室里听到"Oyez，oyez，oyez"的声音，被迷惑的不仅仅是一个听者，尤其是当它的发音为"O yes"时。（许多人本认为事实上它象Oyes。 ) 这叫声用来提醒我们一直用到18世纪，当时不要求在英国法庭上讲英语，且人们可用法国法律，这是在诺曼底征服之后，当盎格鲁-诺曼语言成为英格兰官方阶级语言时发展起来的一种法语形式。Oyez 源于盎格鲁-诺曼语言 oyez， 是oyer 的复数祈使动词，意思是“听”； oyez 并被用来作为要求安静和注意的号令。 虽然这个词在中世纪的英格兰听得较多，但它第一次作为英语单词被记录下来是在中古英语时期的后期 ，出现于1425年左右创作的一本作品上〔expect〕 Anticipate is sometimes used as a synonym ofexpect, but usually it involves more than expectation.Sometimes it refers to taking advance action,as to forestall or prevent the occurrence of something expected or to meet a wish or request before it is articulated: Anticipate 有时被用作expect 的同义词， 但通常它不仅仅是期望这个意思，有时它指提前采取行动，来阻止预料中某事的发生或在一项要求或愿望说出之前使它得到满足： 〔substitute〕"Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality"(Barbara Grizzuti Harrison)“幻想的意义并不仅仅在于作为失意的现实的替代物”(芭芭拉·格里族提·哈里森)〔spiff〕"He may need more than spiff to get him through the bad patches ahead"(James Wolcott)“要度过前面的困难处境，他需要的不仅仅是魅力”(詹姆斯·沃尔科特) |
