vocab简明 | A virgin is someone who has never had sex. After you have sex, you've lost your virginity. We can also say an unharvested forest is a virgin forest. |
vocab扩展 | Virgins haven't had sex yet. But this word is also used in a non-sexual sense to describe something that remains pristine, untouched, or uninitiated. A virgin resource hasn't been used yet. If you've never given a speech, someone might call you a "public speaking virgin." So virgin always means inexperienced or unused, whether you're talking about sex or something else. |
真题原句 | The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a veritable real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia. |
