| 释义 | 〔orientate〕"He . . . stood for a moment, orientating himself exactly in the light of his knowledge"(John le Carré)“他站了一会儿，将脑力调整到最合适的状态”(约翰·勒·卡里)〔mill〕Tomill, in Western U.S. English, means "to halt a cattle stampede by turning the lead animals.”In theOxford English Dictionary we find this 19th-century example of the verb: "At last the cattle ran with less energy, and it was presently easy to ‘mill’ them into a circle and to turn them where it seemed most desirable" (Munsey's Magazine).This usage ofmill comes from the resemblance of the cattle's circular motion to the action of millstones. A related intransitive sense of the verb is better known in Standard English: A crowd milled around in the street. Originally this sense ofmill also meant "circular motion"; now it means "to move around in churning confusion"with no pattern in particular.Mill 这个词在美国西部所说的英语中， 意为“通过让领头牲畜绕圈子跑来制止牛群的惊跑”。在牛津英语词典 中， 我们可以找到该动词19世纪用法的例子： “最后牛群终于跑得快没劲儿了，这时候可以容易地驱赶头牛，把其它牛绕进圈子里，然后把它们赶到最合适的地方去” （芒西杂志）。Mill 的这种用法来自牛群绕圈跑与磨石运作的相似之处。 该词作不及物动词时所具有的与此相关的意义在标准英语中更为常见： 一群人在大街上兜圈子。 Mill 的这一含义本来亦指“旋转运动”； 现在它指“在旋涡般的混乱中到处移动”，不再有其它特指〔optimum〕The point at which the condition, degree, or amount of something is the most favorable.最佳效果：事物的条件、程度或数量的最合适点〔zap〕"perfect for those who can't bring themselves to zap food in a microwave"(John F. Mariani)“对于那些不敢使用微波炉处理食物的人最合适了”(约翰F.马里安尼)〔best〕Most satisfactory, suitable, or useful; most desirable:最合适的：最满意的、最适合的，或最有用的；最合乎需要的：〔relieve〕"His well-known financial ability made men turn to him in the hour of distress, as of all statesmen the most fitted to palliate it" (William E.H. Lecky). “他广为人知的融资能力使得人们在痛苦的时候向他求助，就象最合适的政治家来减轻它一样” （威廉E·H·勒凯）〔best〕The optimum condition or quality:最佳状况：最合适的条件或质量： |
