Uncharted Place Found Territory Wilderness Navigators Describe Experience

英语单词 uncharted
英美音标 [ʌn'tʃa:tid]
中文释义 adj.海图上未标明的,未知的,不详的
vocab简明 If a place is uncharted, it means it isn't found on any map, like the uncharted wilderness settlers found when heading west, or, more figuratively — the uncharted territory of a new strategy.
vocab扩展 The word charted originated in the 1570s, when chart was the name navigators used for maps. So when navigators reached a place not found on their charts, they called the place uncharted. Uncharted also can be used in a figurative sense to describe the start of a new experience, such as the uncharted territory of talking about a difficult subject for the first time.
真题原句 This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.
