💡 深入解读
Pore 一词对不少小伙伴来说是个熟词,常作名词表示皮肤上的“毛孔”或植物的“气孔、孔隙”,这个含义源自希腊语poros(小孔),
比如:
She oozes sexuality from every pore.她浑身上下每个毛孔都散发着性感。
I see him very chafe and fret at every pore.每个毛孔都散发着性感,其实就是说非常性感,所以 from every pore 或 at every pore 的意思也就是喻指“极度、非常”,比如:我见他非常暴躁。
另外, pore 同小站之前推过的loom
faction
swallow
staple
founder
lurch等一样,也是个同形异义词,它还有一个动词含义可能源自英语单词peer,表示“凝视、注视”,
比如:
She pored on the child's sleek black hair.她凝视着孩子乌黑油亮的头发。
His lawyers are poring over the small print in the contract.不过这个动词含义更多的是用 pore over sth 这个动词短语来表示“仔细阅读、认真钻研”,比如:他的律师们正在审阅合同上的小号字。
值得注意的是, pore 的英式发音与 poor 相同,而美式发音与 poor 相近,在听的时候要注意区别。
