The Word of the Day for July 22, 2010 is:
inenarrable \in-ih-NAIR-uh-bul\ adjective
: incapable of being narrated : indescribable
Example Sentence:
"Their songs were sometimes frenzied like the dances in which they whirled to
syncopated rhythms, but more often muffled and sad with the inenarrable
misery of their bondage." (Ross Lockridge, Jr., Raintree County)
Did you know?
"Ineffable," "inenarrable," "indescribable" -- English has quite a few words
for expressing that which can't be expressed. The prefix "in-," meaning
"not," teamed up with Latin "enarrare" ("to explain in detail") to give us
"inenarrable," and the same prefix joined with Latin "effabilis" ("capable of
being expressed") to create "ineffable." English speakers have used
"ineffable" since the 14th century, and "inenarrable" made its way into the
language from French in the 15th century. "Indescribable" was a late arrival,
relatively speaking -- it has only been with us since the 18th century.
補充:
syncopated (a) 切分音的 (節拍強弱倒置)
bondage (n) 束縛，奴隸
ineffable (a) (美好得) 難以形容
ineffable 用於正面，而另兩字可好可壞
