| 释义 | 〔bush〕Land covered with dense vegetation or undergrowth.未开垦的丛林地：被浓密生长的草林或下层丛林覆盖的土地〔waste〕A place, region, or land that is uninhabited or uncultivated; a desert or wilderness.荒芜之地：无人居住或未开垦的地方、地区或土地；沙漠或荒地〔wild〕An uninhabited or uncultivated region:荒地：无人烟或未开垦的地区：〔jungle〕One might be surprised to learn that the wordjungle is not African in origin nor does it come from a word that only meant "land densely overgrown with tropical vegetation and trees.” Jungle goes back to the Sanskrit word jaṅgalam, meaning "desert, wasteland,”and also "any kind of uncultivated area, such as heavily forested land.”The Sanskrit wordjaṅgala- passed into various Indian languages and from one or more of these languages into English.In Englishjungle was used for land overgrown with vegetation, for the vegetation itself,and for such land outside India.The word was also extended figuratively in various ways.We have, for example, asphalt jungles, concrete jungles, blackboard jungles, academic jungles, corporate jungles,and, in a February 1972 issue of theGuardian, the government official who "lit up some lurid corners of the taxation jungle.”jungle 一词的词源不是非洲语，也不是来自仅仅意为“长满茂密的热带植物和树木的地带”的单词；知道这一点也许会让人吃惊。 Jungle 可追溯到梵语词 jangalam ， 其意为“荒漠，荒原”，也指“任何未开垦的地域，如茂密的森林”。梵语词jangala- 传入多种印度语中， 又从这其中的一种或多种语言再传入英语。在英语中jungle 用来指长满植物的地带， 指植物本身，也指印度以外的类似地带。该词也在多方面引申为比喻意义。例如，我们有柏油丛林、水泥丛林、黑板丛林、学术丛林、公司丛林，此外在1972年2月发行的一期卫报 上， 还出现了“揭露税收丛林中鲜为人知的龌龊勾当”的政府官员〔bush〕the Australian bush.澳大利亚的未开垦荒野〔heath〕An extensive tract of uncultivated open land covered with herbage and low shrubs; a moor.荒地：一大片未开垦的覆盖有草本植物和低矮灌木丛的开阔地；荒野〔virgin〕Unused, uncultivated, or unexplored:未开垦的：未用过的，未开发的或未被耕耘的：〔fencerow〕The uncultivated land on each side of a fence.栅栏两边未开垦的土地〔wilderness〕An unsettled, uncultivated region left in its natural condition, especially:荒野，荒地：保留天然条件的无人定居的未开垦地区，尤指：〔heath〕Middle English [uncultivated land] 中古英语 [未开垦的土地] 〔greenbelt〕A belt of recreational parks, farmland, or uncultivated land surrounding a community.绿化带：环绕一社区的由娱乐公园、农田和未开垦地组成的地带〔jungle〕Ultimately from Sanskrit jaṅgalam [desert, wasteland, uncultivated area] 最终源自 梵文 jaṅgalam [沙漠，荒原，未开垦的地域] 〔wildflower〕A flowering plant that grows in a natural, uncultivated state.野花：在天然的未开垦的状态下生长的开花植物〔backwoods〕Heavily wooded, uncultivated, thinly settled areas.偏远蛮荒林区：森林茂密的、未开垦的人烟稀少的地区〔wild〕Not inhabited or farmed:无人烟的，未开垦的：〔natural〕Being in a state regarded as primitive, uncivilized, or unregenerate.未开垦的，未开化的：处于原始的、未经文明的或未再生的一种状态的 |
