2008-01-23 10:15
dip是动词,有多种含义,其中两个是: 1 to put something in liquid and lift it out again 2 if a land or road or path dips, it slopes down and then goes up again 都有类似先低再高(起伏)的意思 dipper是名词,意思是: a large spoon with a long handle, used for taking liquid of a container 即用来dip的大勺子。 big dipper有两个意思: 1 北斗七星 a group of seven bright stars seen only from northern parts of the world (北斗七星形成了一个勺子的形状嘛) 2 过山车 a small railway in a funfair, with steep slopes and sharp curves to give an exciting ride (过山车可不就是高低起伏嘛,而且轨道的形状和大勺子也确有类似之处)。 Little Dipper是小熊座的意思。 p.s. to put something in liquid and lift it out again 那舀和蘸都是dip了?请指教。 |
