今天群里发了这本语法书,有小伙伴看了还发了笔记,感觉真不错!
学一个生动表达「一阵笑声」用英语怎么说?
a ripple of laughter
ripple本意是「波纹,细浪,涟漪」,比如:
ripples on the surface of the pond
池面上的涟漪
She dived into the pool, making scarcely a ripple.
她跳入池中,几乎没有泛起水波。
用形容水波的ripple 形容笑声:
ripple :
a sound that gets gradually louder and softer
此起彼伏的声音:
A ripple of laughter/applause/etc. ran through the crowd.
人群中响起一阵阵笑声/掌声等。
不错,很生动!
另外,ripple做动词不仅仅形容水起涟漪,还形容 (植物等)如波浪起伏;使呈波状起伏:
When the wind ripples plants or trees or when they ripple, they move in a wave-like motion. [V n] [V] [LITERARY 文]
A slight wind rippled the crops in the valley...
一阵微风吹过,山谷里的庄稼便随风起伏。
The tops of the trees rippled in the breeze.
树冠在微风中婆娑摇曳。
