Times become more flexible off-season, especially in the smaller provincial museums.尤其是在规模较小的地方博物馆，开放时间在旅游淡季更加灵活。 flexible 能伸缩的来自拉丁语flecto, 弯，转，词源同inflect, reflect. 进一步可能来自PIE*kleng, 弯，转，词源同link, incline. flexible (adj.)early 15c., "capable of being bent; mentally or spiritually pliant," from Middle French flexible or directly from Latin flexibilis "that may be bent, pliant, flexible, yielding;" figuratively "tractable, inconstant," from flex-, past participle stem of flectere "to bend," which is of uncertain origin. Flexile (1630s) and flexive (1620s) have become rare. Related: Flexibly. Coles' dictionary (1717) has flexiloquent "speaking words of doubtful or double meaning."" |
