拉丁小词|ad hoc

• 2021 年 08 月 02 日 • 翻译·译事随笔

[scode type="blue"]ad hoc

adj.(形势所需而)临时安排的,特别的,专门的[/scode]

英英释义:

An ad hoc activity or organization is done or formed only because a situation has made it necessary and is not planned in advance.

例句:

①The Council meets on an ad hoc basis to discuss problems.

议会临时安排会议讨论问题。

②I also do a couple of ad hoc jobs which are much shorter projects.

我也做一些临时的工作,这些工作的时间要短得多。

下面这道选择题也考到了“ad hoc”的意思:

[scode type="blue"]slave away

辛苦地工作;卖命地干[/scode]

英英释义:

to work very hard.

例句:

①He stares at the hundreds of workers slaving away in the intense sun.

他凝视着在炎炎烈日下辛苦劳作的几百名工人。

②You seem to have been slaving away for hours.

你已经埋头苦干了几个小时了。

我觉得这个短语挺好理解的,“slave”本身表示“奴隶”,奴隶不就埋头苦干嘛~

电影《窈窕淑女》也出现了这个表达:
