这还真怨不了英汉辞典,你看Webster's New World College Dictionary:
/ b4 j5 Y; f* q) e, S) t! U% q% M1. old enough to get married;
, `0 j* ?, z6 U2.suitable for marriage: p( Y* g* k7 X1 j! U* j, X0 E
瞧瞧,一一对应,不要太忠实。. A6 Z0 @1 J O& o
那么更近一步,请看Random House Webster's College Dictionary:
5 L/ u1 S Z) }) E- r- Msuitable, as in age, for marriage; H B7 D# L0 _- X3 s
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!
; q, z) r* S3 ^再看Collins Cobuild English Dictionary(第二版):3 ]# U. u# h" e5 _9 @
If you describe someone as marriageable, especially that they are the right age to marry; an old fashioned word.
9 {$ G" \: k2 y/ }这个解释再清楚没有。 |
