这还真怨不了英汉辞典,你看Webster's New World College Dictionary:. A0 L* U0 a0 k1 X4 L# N
1. old enough to get married;$ D/ l, q! a8 v6 u2 ?& ^% E
2.suitable for marriage/ M. R" I+ r {- U
瞧瞧,一一对应,不要太忠实。9 U. [; A: o( {6 v3 m
那么更近一步,请看Random House Webster's College Dictionary:; @0 h2 t$ W) M& D. f% D
suitable, as in age, for marriage
1 \! L5 ?6 q' Z! e- y) x" k C这条释义点出了marriageble重点在年龄,也就是咱们所说的“适婚年龄”,《建宏E世代英汉辞典》就是这么翻的嘛!3 r+ i. Y$ |& b, _3 T
再看Collins Cobuild English Dictionary(第二版):" ^# z& D$ V7 H9 V Y$ H: W8 @
If you describe someone as marriageable, especially that they are the right age to marry; an old fashioned word.
3 f$ D2 S6 y" }- X, C这个解释再清楚没有。 |
