词义讲解
词源解说
v.(动词)
lean的基本意思是指由于受力的作用,使原本垂直的人或物成为倾斜状态,即“倾斜”,或指两个人或事物相互接触,使二者达到一种平衡状态,即“靠”。引申可指“依赖”。
lean主要用作不及物动词,作“靠”解时还可用作及物动词。lean后接介词against或on可表示“靠在…上”。
lean的过去式和过去分词有两种形式,即leaned, leaned和leant, leant。
adj.(形容词)
这组词都可表示“瘦”。其区别是:
spare指人的身材给人以美感的瘦; thin既可指人的身材,也可指人的身体某部位瘦,大多数指因疾病或疲劳而消瘦; emaciated表示的“瘦”主要是由疾病和营养不良造成的; haggard指人的面孔憔悴的,枯槁的,主要是由于忧虑和少眠所致; lean指人天生瘦,是缺少脂肪的意思。例如:
She was a tall, spare girl.她是个瘦高个儿的姑娘。
His face was thin.他的脸瘦。
He was emaciated by long illness.他由于长期生病而瘦弱了。
The haggard faces of the rescued miners showed what they had suffered.被救出的矿工枯槁的面容表明他们遭受了什么样的苦难。
He had the lean fit look of a trained athlete.他具有一个受过训练的运动员的清瘦而健康的面容。
☆ 直接源自古英语的hleonian;*初源自,原始日耳曼语的khlinen,意为弯曲,斜倚,躺下。
