楼主你这么纠结,主因我看是新牛津说work 是「作业」……& w5 F! O! v) T* F7 m
; Y4 I' k3 X6 y) K) _5 R) s
贴几个句子:- Y& J+ E; B2 u/ q+ t" H8 Y
0 g7 `+ w! P, Q; ] L
philistine
; E7 B7 x8 n# R, g. \: v4 [ E' m% B! m, D9 I
adj having no interest in or understanding of the arts, or being hostile to them 对艺术无兴趣的; 不懂艺术的; 讨厌艺术的: * u1 r+ f# E! R
• The philistine attitude of the public resulted in the work being abandoned. 由於公众对艺术不感兴趣, 那个作品备受冷遇.
, ]" \7 ^+ F; p8 a4 h5 \" g0 T/ _, |0 v- t3 x9 J# c, M' T% p5 S% J
the river level rose so high the work had to be abandoned. 河面涨得太高,所以那项工程只能放弃了。
' T- @6 m9 ?# u# Q, M' ~- J, L7 I. i6 m8 O# }
这句也是新牛津里头的,不过有上文说「河面」,翻译人就知道往建筑这方面想去了 1 j! O N* W, l6 g
2 t, i* u5 O. j- j
好玩的是你google一下,牛津博客给了一个相似句子:! y9 v5 X( h) `8 P8 s' D7 h- y) Z
& i1 L1 N9 e1 \ W9 y! rScarcely was the house completed than it was abandoned.7 [/ y7 F1 l2 f: n5 `
5 ^4 K: \ X/ W. x. D1 r喏?work意义这么丰富,哪能照着想「常理」呢 |
