1. destroy (destroyed, destroyed)
v. 破坏
注意该词与ruin, damage 等词的区别:
destroy: 多指彻底地、毁灭性地破坏,含导致无用,不能或很难再修复的意味。
ruin: 多指因外部原因而受到严重破坏或毁灭,侧重破坏的彻底性;也可用于引申意义, 如 ruin one’s future, ruin one’s career。该词做名词时,注意下列搭配:fall into ruin (崩溃),be in ruins (在废墟中)
damage: 多指对无生命物体的损害,造成降低价值、破坏功能等后果, 但仍可修复。可用作名词,常用词组do/cause damage to。
例如:
(1) the building was completely destroyed by the fire. 大火完全毁掉了这幢大楼。
(2) the repairman tried to repair the car which was damaged in an accident.
修理工试图修复在事故中被损坏的车子。
(3) the earthquake did a lot of damage to the city. 地震对城市造成了巨大的损失。
(4)it rained for 3 days, which ruined my holiday. 雨下了三天,把我的假期毁掉了
2. remains
(1)n. 剩余物
she fed the remains of her dinner to the cat. 她用剩余的饭菜喂猫。
同时,该词还能表示“遗址”和“遗体”。例如:
the archeologist discovered the remains of an ancient culture. 考古学家发现了一处古文明遗址。
his remains were buried in westminster. 他的遗体被安放在威斯敏斯特大教堂。
应注意该词为复数形式,类似的词还有:ruins (废墟,遗址),goods (货物) ,资源难易程度:★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
