💡 深入解读
Aspire 一词源自拉丁语aspirare(哈气、吹气、呼吸;有利于、协助;攀登、努力获得、达到、寻求达到;注入),15世纪经古法语aspirer(渴望、激发;呼吸、哈气)进入英语,由前缀 a- (加强)+词根 spir (呼吸)+ e 构成,用来表示“渴望、向往、有志于”,常用搭配aspire to sth,侧重强调人的雄心壮志,有时候也意味着对目标的渴望非常迫切,甚至常常过于迫切而难以实现,
比如:
He aspired to be their next leader. But the widespread apathy among the electorate shattered him.他渴望成为他们的下一届领导人。但选民普遍的态度冷淡给他带来沉重的打击。
For us, it's something that we may aspire to but can never attain.对我们来说,那是可望而不可即的。
To accomplish our great mission, we must always remain true to our original aspiration.而与之同源的名词 aspiration 相应表示“渴望、抱负、志向”或“渴望达到的目标”,以及在语音学中指“发送气音;送气”。该词在今年国家主席的新年贺词译文中多次出现,参见下方权威用例。权威用例不忘初心,方得始终。
The concerns of the people are what I always care about, and the aspirations of the people are what I always strive for.民之所忧,我必念之;民之所盼,我必行之。
