bizarre

CET6 | 考研 | GRE | 托福 | 雅思

首先，我們來比較一下牛津和柯林斯對bizarre是怎麼解釋的：

牛老師: very strange or unusual

柯老師：something that is bizarre is very odd and strange

結合以上兩個通俗易懂的解釋，我們可以把bizarre翻譯成“古怪的，奇怪的；異乎尋常的，極其怪誕的”

詞典用例

a bizarre incident 稀奇古怪的事件

bizarre behaviour 奇怪的行為

接下來我們看一些更加容易理解的例子~

✔《賴世雄高級美語》中有這樣一句話來描述變色龍:

No other animal in the Nature's zoo looks quite as bizarre as they do.

在大自然的動物園裡，沒有其它動物長得像它們一樣古怪。

✔在owl city的fireflies這首歌裡有這樣一段歌詞

To ten million fireflies, I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are, if my dreams get real bizarre.

致千萬隻螢火蟲，我很古怪，因為我討厭說再見 | 當它們告別時，我的雙眼模糊瞭 | 但如果我又做一些稀奇古怪的夢的話，我會知道有些螢火蟲在哪裡

(歌詞翻譯功底捉急 )

✔再引用一句美劇《紙牌屋》裡的臺詞

Did you notice him acting in a bizarre fashion? Unstable, incoherent.

你註意到他舉止詭異瞭嗎？情緒不穩，語無倫次。

最後，我們再來記一下它的近義詞們！
