原文地址:☞ [2018-03-09] 1500 万@柯林斯 COBUILD
昨天在词典里搜 women 相关的例句。
vegetarian
» Of the four million people who have become vegetarians in Britain, nearly two-thirds are women. 在英国已有的 400 万素食主义者中,将近2/3是女性。
顺便看了下《COBUILD》的这个条目。
vegetarian
1. ADJ 形容词 吃素的;素食的 Someone who is vegetarian never eats meat or fish.
» Yasmin sticks to a strict vegetarian diet… 亚斯明坚持不沾一点儿荤腥。
» Over 1.5 million people in Britain are vegetarian. 在英国,1,500多万人都是素食主义者。
————
A vegetarian is someone who is vegetarian. 吃素者;素食者;素食主义者
» …a special menu for vegetarians. 一份专为素食者准备的特殊菜单
2. ADJ 形容词 无肉的;素的 Vegetarian food does not contain any meat or fish.
» …vegetarian lasagnes. 素卤汁宽面
所以 1.5 million = 1500 万?
当然,2017 年《柯林斯 COBUILD 高阶英汉双解学习词典》(第 8 版)删掉了这个例句。
