📖 基本释义
[noun] a large or dense group of insects, especially flying ones
[名词] 一大群或密集的一群昆虫,尤指会飞的昆虫
💡 深入解读
Swarm 一词比较好记,就是在熟词 warm 的前面加个 s 。其基本含义是作名词表示“一大群、一大窝”蜜蜂、蝗虫、苍蝇等昆虫,多用来指像离巢的蜂群那样一起移动的一大群昆虫,比如:野山羊在下面陡峭的山坡上咩咩地轻声叫着。但在远处,有一只死羊身上爬满了一群群的苍蝇。
From the steep slope below, the wild goats bleated
faintly. But in the distance, there was a dead sheep covered with swarms of flies.将这个概念用在人身上,则表示蜂拥的“一大群”人,强调人数众多、杂乱无章、不停移动,比如:
我们在尽力搞清楚为什么一大群人围住了这个酒店。
We're trying to fathom
out why a swarm of people encircled the hotel.当用作动词时, swarm 自然指蜜蜂等昆虫“成群结队地移动、飞来飞去”或形容人、动物等“蜂拥、涌动”,比如:
半岛上到处是旅游者熙来攘往。
Tourists were swarming all over the peninsula
.老主顾们成群地涌向这家商店,见什么买什么。Patrons
swarmed to the shop, buying up everything in sight.除此之外,还可以用
swarm with sb/sth这个短语动词来表示“挤满、到处是”来来往往的人或物,比如:
几分钟内很多警察就来到了这一地区,开始突击搜查附近的树林。
Within minutes the area was swarming with officers who began
swooping on a nearby wood.双语名著
When he passed through a village, the ragged brats ran joyously after him, and surrounded him like a
swarm of gnats.他从一个村庄经过时,那些衣服破烂的孩子们都欢天喜地跑到他身边,就象一群小飞虫似的围着他。
