英英釋義:seeming to be in all places
例句:Many privacy issues arise from the ubiquitous usage of smart devices.
2. 體會(huì)這個(gè)詞 (進(jìn)階篇)
“ubiquitous”是形容詞捉腥,意思是”普遍的““無處不在的”,經(jīng)晨杈浚可以用來替換 can be found everywhere 等表達(dá)过咬,是個(gè)口語和寫作中都常見的詞嗤栓。我們通過幾個(gè)例子掌握它的用法。
比如智能設(shè)備的廣泛使用導(dǎo)致了許多隱私問題,我們就可以說:
Many privacy issues arise from the ubiquitous usage of smart devices.
再比如由于到處都是監(jiān)控?cái)z像頭癞埠,犯罪和恐怖事件減少了許多:
Crimes and terrorist attacks have been effectively reduced by ubiquitous surveillance cameras.
和好朋友在露臺(tái)舉行派對(duì)鸽粉,沒想到無處不在斜脂、討厭的蚊子掃了興:
The mosquitoes, obnoxious and ubiquitous, ruined our patio party.
《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》中也經(jīng)常用到 ubiquitous,比如:
1)Imagine a world in which cameras equipped with facial recognition were ubiquitous.
2)In London, some 50 miles west of Colchester, fried-chicken shops are ubiquitous.
3)A sharp drop in how often American teenagers go out without their parents began in 2009, around when mobile phones became ubiquitous.
3. 從認(rèn)識(shí)到會(huì)用(作業(yè))
1)翻譯下面的句子: 如今好像到處都是咖啡館触机。
(參考翻譯:Coffee shops are ubiquitous these days.)
2)結(jié)合自己的生活帚戳、學(xué)習(xí)、工作儡首、興趣等片任,想象在什么語境下會(huì)用到這個(gè)表達(dá)。先簡(jiǎn)要描述這個(gè)場(chǎng)景蔬胯,再造句对供。
