“Eruption”是名词,指爆发或喷发的行为或过程,例如火山释放熔岩、蒸汽和灰烬。也可以指突然的爆发或出现,如情绪、冲突或皮疹等不良现象。在医学上,指皮肤或黏膜上出现病变、斑点或皮疹。也指牙齿从牙龈中长出。

  2. “The eruption of the volcano Krakatoa was one of the most violent in global history.” (喀拉喀托火山的喷发是全球历史上最猛烈的之一。)

“Eruption”来自拉丁语”eruptio(n-)“或”eruptio”,意思是”爆发”或”喷发”。它来自拉丁语动词”erumpere”,由”e-”或”ex-”(“出”)和”rumpere”(“打破”)组成,字面意思是”爆发出来”。

“Eruption”由前缀”e-”(出)+ 词根”rupt-”(打破)+ 后缀”-ion”(名词)构成。

早期的中古法语”éruption”也促成了它在15世纪初进入英语。“Eruption”常用于描述火山活动、情绪爆发或疾病的突然出现。

  • 动词形式: “erupt”(爆发)
  • 形容词形式: “eruptive”(爆发的)

“Eruption”的音标是/əˈrʌp.ʃən/,可以联想”e-”(出)+ “rupture”(破裂),想象某物破裂并爆发出来。

“The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD buried the city of Pompeii under ash and lava. Similarly, an eruption of anger can bury relationships under a layer of resentment.” (公元79年维苏威火山的喷发将庞贝城掩埋在灰烬和熔岩下。同样,愤怒的爆发也会将关系掩埋在怨恨的层面下。)
