[scode type="share"]duly[/scode]

音标:/'djuːlɪ/

英英释义:

①If you say that something duly happened or was done, you mean that it was expected to happen or was requested, and it did happen or it was done.【adv.正如预期地;正如要求地】

②If something is duly done, it is done in the correct way.【adv.适当地;恰当地】

例句:

①Westcott appealed to Waite for an apology, which he duly received.

韦斯科特要求韦特道歉,且如愿以偿。

②the duly elected president of the country.

正式当选的国家总统。

请输入图片描述这是一个很高频的表达,它的反义词是“unduly”,我们来看下面几个语境:

Romain Gary的小说Promise at Dawn出现了这个表达:
0278
0279
电影《大鱼》出现了:duly
0280

[scode type="share"]impending apocalypse

即将到来的世界末日[/scode]

英英释义:

The apocalypse is the total destruction and end of the world.

例句:

We live in the shadow of the apocalypse , of a catastrophe that will mean the end of the world itself.

我们生活在意味着世界末日将要到来的灾难的阴影当中。

如果有看科幻片的朋友们会经常看见“apocalypse”这个词,它的发音是“/ə'pɒkəlɪps/ ”。而“impending”表示“即将到来的”。这俩一般同时出现~

《经济学人》一篇题为Diary of a plague year也出现了这个表达:
0281
