昂立外語【新概念培訓】分享小詞“ porter”。在新二L25課中,出現了porter一詞,The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. porter此處的意思是搬運工。Port這個詞在做動詞時有搬運的意思,那port還有哪些意思呢?
在新二L7出現的這一句
The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning.
此處的airport,大家都知道是機場的意思。
Port本身這個詞意思還是比較多的,做名詞時,有港口,電腦端口的意思。如剛提到的airport,還有server port服務器端口等。
做動詞時,有持(槍),攜帶等意思,他還是一個非常常用的名字,很多人,地點都有他。
那讓我一起看看在《傲慢與偏見》中出現的與port有關的句子吧。
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.
這句中的port就是一個名字。
葡萄牙的紅酒質量很高,最聞名世界的便是Porto / Port Wine - 波特酒。波特酒必須是采用來自葡萄牙北方的Douro(多羅)河流域所生產的葡萄所釀制,而且從多羅河港口的城市Porto輸出的葡萄酒,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.
這個port加ly,則意思完全不同,他本意為莊重的,但是這里意為肥胖粗壯的意思。
《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.
因為port有攜帶,手持的意思,所以support這個單詞有支持的意思。
再來看看別的有趣用法吧~
any port in a storm
危難時不擇好壞的出路;饑不擇食的選擇
port after stormy seas
搏斗后的休息
