💡 深入解读

Secrete 同小站之前推的retort

fret

peer

loom

faction

swallow等一样,也是个同形异义词。其基本含义之一“分泌”逆构自名词 secretion (分泌;分泌物),主要表示“(动植物或其器官、细胞等)分泌”,

比如:

Saliva is a liquid secreted by glands in or near the mouth.唾液是由嘴中或嘴部周围的腺体分泌的一种液体。

A brandy miniature was secreted in the lining of his case.而 secrete 的另外一个基本含义“隐藏、藏匿”则是源自与之形似的熟词 secret (秘密、机密;秘密的、保密的),多用于形容将小物件存放在看不见或不为人所知的地方,比如:一小瓶白兰地藏在他的皮箱内衬中。

With a furtive glance over her shoulder, she secreted the gun in the bamboo thicket.她鬼鬼祟祟地往身后扫了一眼,然后把枪藏在了竹丛里。


📚 名著用例
