詞:ubiquitous
英英釋義:seeming to be in all places

2. 體會(huì)這個(gè)詞 (進(jìn)階篇)
“ubiquitous”是形容詞烤惊,意思是”普遍的““無(wú)處不在的”,經(jīng)晨局妫可以用來(lái)替換 can be found everywhere 等表達(dá)箫津,是個(gè)口語(yǔ)和寫(xiě)作中都常見(jiàn)的詞蔼紧。我們通過(guò)幾個(gè)例子掌握它的用法婆硬。
比如智能設(shè)備的廣泛使用導(dǎo)致了許多隱私問(wèn)題,我們就可以說(shuō):
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像頭奸例,犯罪和恐怖事件減少了許多:

和好朋友在露臺(tái)舉行派對(duì)彬犯,沒(méi)想到無(wú)處不在、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哩至,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躏嚎。
(參考翻譯:Coffee shops are ubiquitous these days.)
2)結(jié)合自己的生活蜜自、學(xué)習(xí)菩貌、工作、興趣等重荠,想象在什么語(yǔ)境下會(huì)用到這個(gè)表達(dá)箭阶。先簡(jiǎn)要描述這個(gè)場(chǎng)景,再造句戈鲁。
Pay in Alipay is ubiquitous in Thailand.
