Evacuate

“Evacuate” 指把人从危险地点转移到安全地点,也可指“清空某地”。它常见于灾害、火警、战争和应急管理语境。

  1. “Residents were evacuated before the wildfire reached the town.” (在野火蔓延到小镇前,居民已被疏散。)
  2. “The building was evacuated after the alarm sounded.” (警报响起后,这栋楼被紧急清空。)
  3. “The hospital evacuated patients to a safer area.” (医院把病人转移到了更安全的区域。)

“Evacuate” 来自拉丁语 “vacuus”(空的),核心概念是“把地方清空”。

  • 词根: “vacu”(空)
  • 后缀: “-ate”(动词后缀)

在公共安全体系中,“evacuation plan”(疏散方案)是学校、商场、机场等场所的标准配置。

  • 过去式/过去分词: “evacuated”
  • 现在分词: “evacuating”
  • 名词: “evacuation” (撤离,疏散)

联想 vacuum(真空、吸尘器)里的 “vacu-”:把人“抽离、清空”现场,就是 evacuate。
