单词 | 腾出时间 |
释义 | 〔individual〕Since the 19th century, however,there have been numerous critical objections to use of the word to refer simply to "a person" where no larger contrast is implied,as inTwo individuals were placed under arrest or The Mayor will make time for any individual who wants to talk to her. In such contexts the wordsperson and people will usually do the same semantic job with less affectation. 不过19世纪以后,这个词被用来仅指“一个人”,而没有暗含与群体相对的意思;但这种用法引起了很多批评和反对。例如在两人被捕了 或 谁要想和市长谈谈,她都愿意腾出时间来 这两句话中。在这样的上下文中, 用person 和 people 可以表达同样的意思,也不显得矫揉造作 |
