In the cities vast crowds have been demonstrating for change.在城市里，大批的人群举行示威游行，要求进行变革。 vast 辽阔的来自拉丁语vastus,荒废的，空无的，引申词义辽阔的，无垠的，词源同vain,waste. vastvast: [16] Latin vastus originally meant ‘empty, unoccupied, deserted’. The sense ‘huge’, in which English borrowed it, is a secondary semantic development. Another metaphorical route took it to ‘ravaged, destroyed’, in which sense it lies behind English devastate and waste.=> devastate, wastevast (adj.)1570s, "being of great extent or size," from Middle French vaste, from Latin vastus "immense, extensive, huge," also "desolate, unoccupied, empty." The two meanings probably originally attached to two separate words, one with a long -a- one with a short -a-, that merged in early Latin (see waste (v.)). Meaning "very great in quantity or number" is from 1630s; that of "very great in degree" is from 1670s. Very popular early 18c. as an intensifier. Related: Vastly; vastness; vasty." |
