Hiatus
“Hiatus” 是名词。在日常用法中,它最常指活动的“中断”或“休假”;在学术语境下,它指由于缺失而产生的空隙。
- “The band is taking a two-year hiatus after their world tour.” (乐队在世界巡演结束后将进行为期两年的修整。)
- “There is a hiatus in the historical records during the years of the war.” (战争期间的历史记录存在一段空白。)
- “After a long hiatus, the popular TV show finally returned for a new season.” (在经历了漫长的停播后,这部热门电视节目终于回归并开始了新的一季。)
源自拉丁语 “hiare”(张开、裂开)。与 “yawn” (打哈欠) 有远亲关系。
无前缀。
- 词根: “hiat-” (张开)
- 后缀: “-us” (名词后缀)
在流行文化中,当电视剧或漫画暂时停止更新时,粉丝们会说它进入了 “hiatus”。这通常意味着它将来会回归,而不是被永久取消。
- 复数形式: “hiatuses” 或 “hiatus” (拉丁语原形复数)
联想 “High” (高) + “Ate” (吃) + “Us” (我们)。想象在高处,某种东西“吃掉”了我们之间的一段距离,留下了一个空隙。
“The author took a five-year hiatus from writing after her first book became a massive success. She spent that time traveling the world, seeking new inspiration for her next novel.” (在第一本书获得巨大成功后,这位作家中断了五年的写作。她利用那段时间环游世界,为她的下一部小说寻找新的灵感。)
