📖 基本释义

[名词] 在(尤其是东非的)动物自然栖息地观察或捕猎动物的探险
💡 深入解读
对果粉们来说,safari 是一个相当熟悉的单词,因为苹果操作系统默认自带的网页浏览器就叫做 Safari 。之所以取名该词,是因为 safari 源自东非的斯瓦希里语,用来表示“观兽旅行、游猎”,尤指在东部或南部非洲的未开发地区进行的观赏、拍摄或捕猎野生动物的探险旅行,
比如:
He'd like to go on safari to photograph giraffes and lions.他想进行一次观兽旅行,拍摄一些长颈鹿和狮子的照片。
从这个概念出发, safari 还常用来引申指“长途旅游、科学考察”,尤指以发现新事物或者获得奖品、奖杯等为目的的旅行,比如:北极考察
an Arctic safari
go on a photographic safari to Africa去非洲旅行摄影
There is something about safari life that makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne — bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive.此外, safari 也可以用来表示“旅游队、游猎队、科学考察队”。值得注意的是, safari 读作 [səˈfɑːri] ,而不要想当然地将其误读成[ˈsæfəri]。名人名言
游猎生活有种特质会让你忘掉所有的悲伤,感觉就像喝了半瓶香槟一样——对自己活着充满由衷的感激。出自丹麦著名现代作家、《走出非洲》(Out of Africa
