Foods containing monounsaturated fatty acids may decrease the amount of LDL cholesterol in the blood and include olive, peanut, canola, and avocado oils.单不饱和脂肪酸：每一分子包含唯一的一个双键或三键的有机化合物的，尤其是油脂酸或脂肪酸的，或是与之相关的。含有单不饱和脂肪酸的食物可以降低血液中低浓度脂蛋白胆固醇的含量，包含橄榄油、花生油、菜籽油和鳄梨油〔Aton〕An Egyptian god of the sun, regarded during the reign of Akhenaton as the only god.阿托恩：埃及的一位太阳神，埃赫那顿统治时期被奉为唯一的神〔known〕the only known case; a known authority.唯一知道的案例；知名权威〔Universalist〕An adherent of Unitarian Universalism.宇宙神教唯一神教派的信徒〔function〕A rule of correspondence between two sets such that there is a unique element in the second set assigned to each element in the first set.函数：两组元素一一对应的规则，第一组中的每个元素在第二组中只有唯一的对应量〔of〕Grammarians have sometimes condemned categorically the so-called double genitive construction,as ina friend of my father's; a book of mine. The construction is well supported by literary precedent,however, and serves a useful purpose.Thus there is no substitute for the double genitive in a sentence such asThat's the only friend of yours that I've ever met, since sentences such asThat's your only friend that I've ever met and That's your only friend, whom I've ever met are obviously impossible. 语法学家有时谴责这种范畴上的双重所有格形式，如我父亲的朋友；我的一本书 。 这种结构为许多文学先进所支持，认为它们是很有用的。在一个如那是我曾经遇到的你唯一的朋友 的句子中双重所有格是没有替代式的， 因为句子如那是我曾遇到的你唯一的朋友 和 那是唯一一个我曾遇到的你的朋友 显然是完全不一样的 〔only〕Alone in kind or class; sole.唯一的：在种类或级别中与众不同的；独特的〔blemish〕"His independence and love of the English were his only faults" (David Livingstone). “他的独立和对英语的热爱是他唯一的缺点” （大卫·利文斯通）。〔tuatara〕A lizardlike reptile(Sphenodon punctatus) that is found only on certain islands off New Zealand and is the sole extant member of the Rhynchocephalia, an order that flourished during the Mesozoic Era. Also called sphenodon 斑点楔齿晰：一种类似蜥蜴的爬行动物（楔齿蜥 楔齿蜥属） ，只生长在新西兰周边的岛屿上，是盛行于中生代的喙头蜥目动物的唯一现存的种类 也作 sphenodon〔between〕According to a widely repeated but unjustified tradition,“between is used for two, and among for more than two.” It is true thatbetween is the only choice when exactly two entities are specified: the choice between (not among ) good and evil, the rivalry between (not among ) Great Britain and France. When more than two entities are involved, however, or when the number of entities is unspecified,the choice of one or the other word depends on the intended sense.Between is used when the entities are considered as distinct individuals; among, when they are considered as a mass or collectivity. Thus in the sentenceThe bomb landed between the houses, the houses are seen as points that define the boundaries of the area of impact (so that we presume that none of the individual houses was hit). InThe bomb landed among the houses, the area of impact is considered to be the general location of the houses, taken together (in which case it is left open whether any houses were hit). By the same token, we may speak ofa series of wars between the Greek cities, which suggests that each city was an independent belligerent, or ofa series of wars among the Greek cities, which allows as well the possibility that the belligerents were shifting alliances of cities. For this reason,among is most appropriate to indicate inclusion in a group: 根据重复多次但没什么根据的传统看法，“between 用于两者之间，而 among 用于二者以上。” 当只提到两个实体时，between 确实是唯一的选择： the choice between （而不用 among ） good and evil（善与恶之间的选择），the rivalry between （不用 among ） Great Britain and France（英法间的对抗）。 当牵涉到两个以上实体时，如果实体的数目不确定，选择其中之一则取决于倾向性。当实体被看作不同的个体时用between ； 当其被看作整体或集合时用among 。 因此在句子The bomb landed between the houses 中，房屋被看作一个限定了中弹地区的界限（ 所以我们假设一所所单独的房子未被击中）。在The bomb landed among the houses 中，被中弹地区被看作是房屋的整体地区（ 在这种情形下房屋是否被击中并未说明）。同样的表示法，我们可以说a series of wars between the Greek cities， 表示每个城市是独立的参战者，我们也可以说a series of wars among the Greek cities， 表示存在某些城市做为联合参战者的可能性。 因此，among 最适合表示包括在一群成一组人之内： 〔Cyrenaic〕Of or advocating the doctrines of Aristippus of Cyrene, who argued that pleasure is the only good in life.昔兰尼学派的：昔兰尼的亚里斯提卜主义的，或者提倡这种主义的，它劝告享乐是人生唯一的乐事〔solitary〕a solitary instance of cowardice.See Synonyms at single 懦弱的唯一例子； 参见 single〔Roosevelt〕The 32nd President of the United States (1933-1945). Governor of New York (1929-1932), he ran for President with the promise of a New Deal for the American people. His administration was marked by relief programs, measures to increase employment and assist industrial and agricultural recovery from the Depression, and World War II. He was the only U.S. President to be reelected three times (1936, 1940, and 1944). He died in office.罗斯福，富兰克林·德拉诺：(1882-1945) 美国第三十二任总统(1933-1945年），任美国纽约州州长(1929-1932年）参加总统的竞选诺言是为美国人民实施新政，他的政策以实行和计划、采取措施增加就业、协助工业和农业从大萧条中及复苏，参加第二次世界大战为显著特征。他是唯一一位连任三届(1936,1940和1944年）的美国总统，死于任上〔consequential〕"The year's only really consequential legislation was the reform of Social Security"(New York Times)“这一年中唯一真正重大的立法是对社会保险制度的改革”(纽约时报)〔mercenary〕Motivated solely by a desire for monetary or material gain.唯利是图的：以获取金钱或物质为唯一动机的〔tight〕Tight is used as an adverb following verbs that denote a process of closure or constriction, assqueeze, shut, close, tie, and hold. In this useit is subtly distinct from the adverbtightly. Tight denotes the state resulting from the process,whereastightly denotes the manner of its application. As such,tight is more appropriate when the focus is on a state that endures for some time after the activity has ended. The sentenceShe closed up the house tight suggests preparation for an impending blizzard. By the same token, it is more natural to sayThe windows were frozen tight than The windows were frozen tightly, since in this case the tightness of the seal is not likely to be the result of the manner in which the windows were frozen.With a few verbstight is used idiomatically as an intensive and is the only possible form: sleep tight; sit tight. Tight can be used only following the verb:The house was tightly (not tight ) shut. Tight 作副词用在表示关闭或压迫过程的动词后， 如squeeze，shut，close，tie 和 hold 。 在这种用法中，它与副词tightly有细微的差别。 Tight 表示过程导致的状态，而tightly 表示使用这些动作的方式。 因此，当焦点放在动作结束后仍然能持续一段时间的状态时，用tight 更为恰当。 句子她把房子的门窗紧紧地关起来 中表示准备迎接即将来到的暴风雪。 同样，我们说The windows were frozen tight 比 The windows were frozen tightly 更为自然， 因为这里的密封不大可能是窗子被冻上的结果。tight 还与几个动词结合惯用为加强语气的成分，且是唯一可能的形式： sleep tight； sit tight。 Tight 只能用于动词后：房子紧紧地 （而非 tight ) 关闭着 。 〔alienate〕"He succeeded . . . in alienating the affections of my only ward"(Oscar Wilde)“他成功地…夺走了我唯一的保护人对我的关怀”(奥斯卡·怀尔德)〔monarch〕A sole and absolute ruler.唯一和绝对的统治者〔answer〕Our only possible answer was to sue.我们唯一可能的反击就是上诉〔patent〕A grant made by a government that confers upon the creator of an invention the sole right to make, use, and sell that invention for a set period of time.专利权：政府授予发明者在一定时期内制造、使用和销售其发明品的唯一的权力〔variation〕One of a series of forms based on a single theme.变奏：建立在唯一的主旋律基础上的一系列形式之一〔positivism〕A doctrine contending that sense perceptions are the only admissible basis of human knowledge and precise thought.实证主义：认为感官的感知是人类知识及精确思维唯一可允许的基础的主义〔recourse〕His only recourse was the police.他唯一的求助对象是警察〔center〕andThe trade is centered at Amsterdam; as well as for usagessuch asA storm of battle centered around the king, in which examplearound seems to be the only appropriate choice. See Usage Note at equal 以及贸易集中于阿姆斯特丹； 也有这样的用法，如战斗的风暴围绕着国王 ， 在这个例子里around 似为唯一适当的选择 参见 equal〔open〕an open account; the only course open to us.活期的资金；我们唯一可用的途径〔slather〕slathered gifts and attention on their only child.过多地给予他们唯一的儿子礼物和关心〔snooty〕High-class; exclusive.一流的；唯一的〔single〕"The sole wall decoration of his studio was a Japanese print" (Arnold Bennett).“他画室中唯一的一面墙饰是一幅日本画的复制品” （阿诺德·贝奈特）。〔Rankin〕American reformer and politician. A leader in the women's suffrage movement in Montana, her home state, she later was the first woman U.S. representative (1917-1919 and 1941-1943) and the only legislator to oppose U.S. involvement in both World Wars.兰金，杰尼特：(1880-1973) 美国改革家和政治家，在其家乡蒙大纳州是该地争权妇女选举权运动的代表，后来成为美国第一位女众议院院员(1917-1919和1941-1943年）和唯一对两次美国参加世界大战投反对票的议员〔Jephthah〕In the Bible, a judge of Israel who vowed to sacrifice to God the first thing to come out of his house to greet him upon his return, in exchange for victory over the Ammonites. He was victorious and, upon returning home, was met by his only child, a daughter.耶弗他：在圣经中，是一位以色列士师，他发誓为上帝牺牲-即当他自外返家时第一个由家中出来迎接的人，以此交换对亚扪人战争的胜利。当他凯旋并回家时遇到他唯一的孩子，他的女儿 |
