[字彙] sepulchre (n) 墳墓
唉,GMAT 版為了補習班、家教版的事吵得不可開交
這就是 GRE 版不開放討論補習班的主因
來看狄更斯寫的句子吧
M-W 每日一字
sepulchre (with podcast) http://ppt.cc/-DKi
英解
a place of burial: tomb
某些 GRE 字彙書裡有收此字,
但我不認為現在的 GRE 會考這個字,
大家看過有印象就好。
最早來自拉丁文 sepelire (bury)
例句寫的好美,欣賞一下吧
"The distant noises in the streets were gradually hushed; the house was
quiet as a sepulchre; the dead of night was coffined in the silent
city." (Charles Dickens, Martin Chuzzlewit)
形容 "安靜",用了 distant noises, gradually hushed, night, silent 等字
形容 "死亡",用了 sepulchre, dead, coffin 等意象
一座死城焉然而生!!
