| 释义 | 〔tympanites〕A distention of the abdomen resulting from the accumulation of gas or air in the intestine or peritoneal cavity. Also called tympany 鼓胀：由于肠道或腹腔中气体或空气的积聚而导致腹部的膨胀 也作 tympany〔dogie〕In the language of the American West,a motherless calf is known as adogie. InWestern Words Ramon F. Adams gives one possible etymology for dogie, whose origin is unknown.During the 1880's,when a series of harsh winters left large numbers of orphaned calves,the little calves, weaned too early, were unable to digest coarse range grass,and their swollen bellies "very much resembled a batch of sourdough carried in a sack.”Such a calf was referred to asdough-guts. The term, altered todogie according to Adams, "has been used ever since throughout cattleland to refer to a pot-gutted orphan calf.” Another possibility is thatdogie is an alteration of Spanish dogal, "lariat.” 在美国西部英语中，无母犊牛被称为dogie 。 莱蒙·F·亚当斯为dogie 在 西部语汇 中找到一个词源， 但该词源的出处也是未知的。19世纪80年代，连年酷寒的冬季造成了大量孤犊，尚不能消化粗糙的牧草小牛犊过早断奶，肚子鼓胀“就象装在袋子里的发酵面团”。这样的小牛被称作dongh-guts 。 据亚当斯称，该称呼后来变作dogie ，“整个牧牛区从此用来称呼大肚子的孤犊。” 另外一种可能性是dogie 为西班牙语 dogal 的变体，意即“套索” 〔bouffant〕Puffed-out; full:蓬松的；鼓胀的：〔fill〕To cause (a sail) to swell.张满（帆）：使（船帆）鼓胀〔zooglea〕An aggregate of bacteria forming a jellylike mass with cell walls swollen by the absorption of water or other fluid.菌胶闭：细菌的聚生，通过吸收水或其它液体而鼓胀，形成带有细胞壁的胶状块〔buckle〕An instance of bending, warping, or crumpling; a bend or bulge.弯曲，褶皱；鼓胀〔bag〕To swell out; bulge.鼓胀：鼓出来；膨胀隆起〔bulbous〕Resembling a bulb in shape; rounded or swollen:鳞茎状的：形状象鳞茎的；圆形的或鼓胀的：〔breed〕Fads breed in empty heads and full purses.流行时尚从空虚的头脑和鼓胀的钱包中产生 |
