昂立外语【新概念培训】分享小词“ porter”。在新二L25课中,出现了porter一词,The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. porter此处的意思是搬运工。Port这个词在做动词时有搬运的意思,那port还有哪些意思呢?
在新二L7出现的这一句
The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning.
此处的airport,大家都知道是机场的意思。
Port本身这个词意思还是比较多的,做名词时,有港口,电脑端口的意思。如刚提到的airport,还有server port服务器端口等。
做动词时,有持(枪),携带等意思,他还是一个非常常用的名字,很多人,地点都有他。
那让我一起看看在《傲慢与偏见》中出现的与port有关的句子吧。
But Mr. Wickham was as far beyond them all in person, countenance, air, and walk, as THEY were superior to the broad-faced, stuffy uncle Phillips, breathing port wine, who followed them into the room.
这句中的port就是一个名字。
葡萄牙的红酒质量很高,最闻名世界的便是Porto / Port Wine - 波特酒。波特酒必须是采用来自葡萄牙北方的Douro(多罗)河流域所生产的葡萄所酿制,而且从多罗河港口的城市Porto输出的葡萄酒,才可以冠上Port之名。
《Time traveler's wife》
Short, portly, sun burnt, he looks as though he’s made a wrong turn from Wrigley Field in his baseball cap and polyester trousers with light blue short-sleeved button-down shirt.
这个port加ly,则意思完全不同,他本意为庄重的,但是这里意为肥胖粗壮的意思。
《Pride and Prejudice》
And she was more grieved than astonished to hear, in reply to her minute inquiries, that though Jane always struggled to support her spirits, there were periods of dejection.
因为port有携带,手持的意思,所以support这个单词有支持的意思。
再来看看别的有趣用法吧~

危难时不择好坏的出路;饥不择食的选择
port after stormy seas
搏斗后的休息
