| 释义 | 〔stove〕A stove to us is something we expect to find in a room,but at one timea stove was a room,specifically, a room for taking a hot-air or steam bath (first recorded in 1456).Around 1545 the word is recorded with reference to another room, such as a bedroom, heated with a furnace.The devices used to heat these rooms came to be calledstoves as well, a use first found sometime between 1550 and 1625.Of course, heating devices that we would callstoves had long been in existence, going back to Roman times.However, the stove as the chief cooking device, taking the place of the fireplace, dates only to around the mid-19th century with the widespread use of wood-burning or coal-burning cooking stoves.对于我们来说，火炉是我们可以在屋内找到的东西，但是有一段时间，这种东西指的是一个房间，尤其是取得热空气或供蒸汽浴的房间（首次记载于1456年）。1545年前后，该词又记载了另一含义，指另一种带有火炉取暖的房间，如卧室。这些屋内用于取暖的器具也被称作stoves， 该用法首次发现于1550年到1625年间。当然，我们称为stoves 的加热器具已经很久以前就存在了， 可以上溯到古罗马时期。但是，该词代替壁炉成为主要的烹饪器具只能追溯到19世纪中期，那时以木材或煤作燃料的烹饪火炉得到大规模地推广使用〔bedroom〕A room in which to sleep.卧室：睡觉的房间〔superfluous〕sleeping in the spare room;在多出的卧室里睡觉；〔beetle〕"Chambermaids . . . beetled from bedroom to bedroom loaded with . . . champagne"(Vanity Fair)“女侍者们端着香槟酒从一个卧室到另一个卧室像甲虫一样走来走去”(名利场)〔chamber〕A room in a house, especially a bedroom.室，卧室：房子里一房间，尤指一卧室〔eunuch〕The wordeunuch does not derive, as one might think, from the operation that produced a eunuch but rather from one of his functions. Eunuch goes back to the Greek wordeunoukhos, "a castrated person employed to take charge of the women of a harem and act as chamberlain.”The Greek word is derived fromeunē, "bed,” and ekhein, "to keep.” A eunuch, of course, was ideally suited to guard the bedchamber of women.eunuch 这个词不象人们所想的那样源自于阉人的手术， 而是源自于它所起的作用。 Eunuch 可追溯到古希腊的词eunoukhos ， 意为“一个负责侍候后宫女眷，并作为国王内侍的被阉割了的人”。古希腊的词源出于eune， 意为“床”，和 ekhein “照料”， 一个太监当然是保卫女眷卧室的最理想的人〔cubicle〕from Latin cubiculum [bed chamber] 源自 拉丁语 cubiculum [卧室] 〔chambermaid〕A maid who cleans and cares for bedrooms, as in a hotel.女服务员：如旅馆中的清洁并整理卧室的女服务员〔partition〕We partitioned off the alcove to make another bedroom.我们把凹室分隔开作另一间卧室〔boudoir〕A woman's private sitting room, dressing room, or bedroom.闺房：女人的私人起居室、化妆室或卧室〔behoof〕a sitting room that had been converted to a bedroom on my behoof.依我意而改成卧室的起居室〔dormer〕Obsolete French dormeor [sleeping room] 已废法语 dormeor [卧室] 〔pick〕Let's pick up the living room.我们收拾一下卧室吧 |
