💡 深入解读
Myriad 是一个很容易让人联想起 pyramid (金字塔、棱锥体)的单词,该词源自希腊语myrioi(1万),16世纪中期经古法语myriade以及后期拉丁语myrias进入英语,最初也是用来表示“1万”这个数量,不过这个含义如今通常仅用在希腊语或拉丁语的翻译中。发展到现在,更多的是用 myriad 喻指“无数、大量”或“各种各样”,常作书面用语形容数量极其巨大或者种类极其之多,到了数不清的地步,
比如:
They face a myriad of problems bringing up children. Free time is at a premium for working parents. It's hard to juggle children and a career.他们在抚养孩子方面面临着各种各样的问题。对于上班的父母来说,空余时间非常宝贵。一边照顾孩子一边忙事业很难应付。
She was enthralled by British pop and culture in all its myriad forms.用作形容词时, myriad 相应表示“无数的、大量的”以及“各种各样都有的、包罗万象的”,其中后者即指有着无数或非常多的元素或方面,比如:她被各式各样不同形式的英国流行音乐和文化迷住了。
The myriad of things we attend to all boil down to matters concerning every household.权威用例千头万绪的事,说到底是千家万户的事。
