这还真怨不了英汉辞典,你看Webster's New World College Dictionary:9 ` z" p# @6 {
1. old enough to get married;
4 j; @7 S5 v B2.suitable for marriage6 _- _0 R+ u7 J; B* t7 m
瞧瞧,一一对应,不要太忠实。 N. X% i! n- X. P+ H
那么更近一步,请看Random House Webster's College Dictionary:
& f) w. \9 I/ L! I& m8 gsuitable, as in age, for marriage
1 A: m5 [( m( D' B) ]1 C- b O这条释义点出了marriageble重点在年龄,也就是咱们所说的“适婚年龄”,《建宏E世代英汉辞典》就是这么翻的嘛!. ?* g6 E) a! q$ l* `* l
再看Collins Cobuild English Dictionary(第二版):* t% q! m0 U. T! C' c
If you describe someone as marriageable, especially that they are the right age to marry; an old fashioned word.7 f9 u: }. D& S/ L' K9 n6 ]! O
这个解释再清楚没有。 |
