英语单词 virgin
英美音标 ['və:dʒin]
中文释义 n.处女
adj.纯洁的,洁白无瑕疵的,未被玷污的,原始的,处于原耒状态的,未采伐过的森林
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.
