📖 基本释义

[verb] mix or cause to mix together
[动词] 混合或使混合在一起


💡 深入解读

Mingle 是一个与熟词 mix 含义十分相似的单词,都有“(使)混合、(使)相混”的含义,其中后者含义广泛,侧重指混合后的产物特性一致,原料不易分离或分辨出来,而前者则强调原料在混合后依然保持各自的特性,容易辨别,比如:晚会很豪华,食物精美可口,香槟酒源源不断。笑声和歌声交织在夜空中。

The evening was a lavish

affair with glorious food and an endless supply of champagne. The sounds of laughter and singing

mingled in the evening air.血不断从伤口慢慢流出来。她的泪水和脸上的血混在了一起。

A cascade of blood oozed out of the wound. Her tears mingled with the blood on her face.除此之外,这两个单词都可以用来表示人际交往,不同的是, mix 多指与各种各样不同的人“交往、相处、交际”,而 mingle 主要表示在社交场合中到处走动与人“交际、应酬”,比如:

作为一名迎宾员,你在工作中与各种各样的人打交道吗?As an usher

, do you mix with a wide variety of people in your job?别再斗嘴了。去跟婚礼上的其他人聊聊。

Stop bickering ! Go out of your way to mingle with others at the wedding.


📚 名著用例
