深入解读

在去年推送的 小词详解 | replenish 的留言区,就有小伙伴说想到了 replete 和 deplete 这两个单词。其中 deplete 前几个月已经讲过了,那么今天就专门来说说 replete 这个单词。

该词由前缀 re- (一再)+词根 plet (满的;填满)+ e 构成,于14世纪末经古法语 replet (充满的)或者直接由拉丁语 repletus (充满的、满的)进入英语后,也是用来表示“充满的、装满的、充斥的”,常用搭配 replete with sth 作正式用语使用,而不能直接用在名词前,侧重强调供应充足或者被某物充满到了满溢的程度,比如:

  • 这段时间满是各种危险。
    This time period is replete with various perils.
  • 他是位饱学之士。我们需要更多像他这样有才干的人来使行将倒闭的公司起死回生。
    He is a mind replete with learning. We need more people of his calibre to pull the moribund company back from the brink.

从这个概念出发, replete 还被用来表示“很饱的、饱食的”,也就是愉快地吃饱喝足之后,肚子处于被食物充满的状态,甚至到了吃得过饱的程度(to the point of being surfeited),比如:

  • 吃了一大角的浇了一撮螺旋形掼奶油的多脂甜点后,塞尔吉奥终于饱了。
    After a huge wedge of rich dessert topped with a swirl of whipped cream, Sergio was at last replete.
