〔showcase〕In these last two usages the verb no longer has any connection to the idea of a showcase,nor does it retain any hint of its theatrical character.The development of the verb nicely exemplifies the process whereby metaphors are eviscerated after death.这最后两种动词用法和陈列柜的意思没任何联系，它也没有保留任何有关戏剧特征的暗示。这个动词的发展很好地展示了隐喻消亡之后靠什么除去其精髓的过程 |
