铺垫了法国大革命的社会紧张情况: the social unrest that adumbrated the French Revolution.
e.g. In between, works by contemporaries complicate superficial ideas about his meteoric genius, and small, delicate drawings teem with an abundance of ideas — paintings never made, thoughts adumbrated then abandoned.
—Philip Kennicott, Washington Post, 18 Oct. 2019


Emotion vs Sentiment
二者都指人的感受,但是先后顺序不同。简而言之,emotion永远在sentiment前面,二者不能互换。
e.g. For many first-gen social media users—millennials between the ages of 27 and 42—there is a developing sentiment that the party is over.
e.g. On the contrary, the social media break also decreased positive emotions, likely due to a lack of the dopamine boost that comes from social media likes and comments, which reinforces engagement with social media.
Emotion是立刻产生的反应,是没法控制的;而sentiment是很多emotion导致人产生的看法、认识,是可以控制的。


专门指人的体格、体质的词是physique
e.g. He has a very powerful, muscular physique, but the truth is he is juiced to the gills.


exult: 欢欣鼓舞
feel or show triumphant elation or jubilation
e.g. The team exulted in their victory.




康复: recuperate
e.g. She has been recuperating from a knee injury.


Hangover: 宿醉
值得一提的同义词是veisalgia,来自挪威语中的kveis (uneasiness after debauchery) + -algia (痛苦,折磨;例如nostalgia)
debauchery的意思是放荡。

无名指 third finger / fourth finger / ring finger
中文称为无名指是因为其他手指都有具体的名字。
在英文中,third finger既可能指中指,也可能指无名指。在医学或者键盘乐器中,通常指third finger为中指。而在日常英语或者弦类乐器中,third finger通常指无名指。
人们选择戒指戴在无名指的具体起源不得而知,但是在现代医学发展之前,人们相信无名指和心脏相连,结婚戒指戴在无名指上便有了心心相印的含义。
