Gravid
“Gravid” 是一个比较正式或技术性的形容词。
- 形容词 (Adjective):
- 怀孕的(pregnant - 尤其用于医学或描述动物)。
- 充满的,沉甸甸的(比喻用法,常接 with,如 gravid with meaning)。
- “The gravid female fish was ready to lay her eggs.” (那条怀孕的雌鱼准备产卵了。)
- “The silence in the room was gravid with expectation.” (房间里的沉默充满了期待。)
- “She looked at the gravid clouds, knowing the rain would start soon.” (她看着乌云密布的天空,知道雨很快就要开始了。)
源自拉丁语 “gravidus”(充满的,怀孕的),来自 “gravis”(沉重的)。
“Gravid” 是一个单词根词,源自拉丁语。
虽然 “pregnant” 是描述怀孕最通用的词,但 “gravid” 在生物学和动物学中更为常见(如 gravid female)。在文学创作中,作者常使用 “gravid with…” 来形容某种气氛异常沉重或充满某种呼之欲出的情感。
- 名词: “gravidity” (怀孕状态)
- 相关词: “gravity” (重力), “grave” (严重的)
联想 “gravity” (重力)。想象一个怀孕的女性或充满雨水的云,因为“沉重”(gravity)而向下坠,这就是 “gravid”。
“The poet sat by the window, staring at the gravid sky just before the storm. His mind was gravid with ideas for his next book, but he couldn’t find the right words to start. When the first drop of rain finally fell, it was as if the tension broke, and the words began to flow onto the paper.” (诗人坐在窗边,盯着风暴前夕沉甸甸的天空。他的脑海中充满了关于下一本书的构思,但却找不到合适的词句开始。当第一滴雨终于落下时,仿佛紧绷的弦断了,文字开始在纸上流淌。)
