昂立外语【新概念培训】跟各位分享storm这个词,新二新三都有提到,最经典的莫过于新二Lesson49中,He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up.
当然,这里的storm指的是“暴风”,Webster的解释是:
an occurrence of bad weather in which there is a lot of rain, snow, etc., and often strong winds,所以
我们相应的会有snowstorm, thunderstorm等合成词汇。
那么Storm有没有其他用法呢?
3.1昆明暴力事件之后,各大媒体都在第一时间发布了报道,共同谴责恐怖主义行为,其中,TIMES周刊的报道
中有这么一句:
Knife-wielding attackers, dressed in black clothes, stormed the railway station of provincial capital
Kunming shortly after 9 p.m. on March 1, slaughtering those who could not flee fast enough.
这里的storm做了动词,那么什么意思呢?
我们说,学习单词最好的方法,是放在语境中。来看这句话中,这一群挥舞着刀的暴徒(knife-wielding attackers),
身着黑色服装,进了火车站,那么,到底怎么样地进入呢?Storm! 且把它的名词意义拿过来用吧,“像暴风雨一样
进入”。
来看看Webster上面的解释吧:
“to attack (something) suddenly with a lot of force or with a large number of people”
在这里,storm就非常贴切地形容出暴徒来势汹汹,残忍无道。
就让我们记住这个词,也记住暴徒的残暴行为。
