今天我们要学的词是disaster。 Disaster是灾难的意思。Natural disaster是天灾,disaster area是灾区。美国明尼阿波利斯公路桥发生坍塌事件后,引发了美国各界对交通基础设施的关注。媒体报道说,"The bridge disaster suddenly became a symbol of the nation's crumbling 1 infrastructure," 意思是这起桥梁坍塌的灾难性事故突然间成了美国年久失修的基础设施的象征。


Disaster还可能用来指彻底失败。比如说, "The party last night was a disaster," 意思是昨天晚上的派对简直糟透了。好的,今天我们学习的词是disaster...

  • an old house with crumbling plaster and a leaking roof 一所灰泥剥落、屋顶漏水的老房子
  • The boat was tied up alongside a crumbling limestone jetty. 这条船停泊在一个摇摇欲坠的石灰岩码头边。
