Diaphanous

Diaphanous 是一个形容词。常用来形容那些薄如蝉翼、能够透光的织物,或者形容一种轻灵、虚幻的美感。

  1. She wore a diaphanous silk dress that moved gracefully in the wind. (她穿着一件在风中优雅飘动的半透明丝绸连衣裙。)
  2. The morning mist was so diaphanous that we could see the sunrise through it. (晨雾非常稀薄,我们可以透过它看到日出。)
  3. The wings of the dragonfly are thin and diaphanous. (蜻蜓的翅膀薄而透明。)
  • 词根-phan- (显现/出现,如 phantom, phenomenon)
  • 前缀dia- (穿过,如 dialogue, diameter)
  • 含义:光线能穿过并显现出来的 -> 半透明的。

记:dia- (穿过) + phan (显现)。光线能穿透(dia)并让人看到(phan)后面的东西。联想 phantom (幽灵),幽灵通常也是半透明的。

The moonlight shone through the diaphanous curtains, casting soft shadows on the floor. (月光穿过半透明的窗帘,在地上投下柔和的阴影。)
