Question

iridescent adj.彩虹色的；闪光的 (1) 这些闪着彩虹般颜色的大气泡很美。(2) 雄性孔雀为了吸引雌性伴侣而展现了他们彩虹色的羽毛。 Iridescent came to be in 1796, when some enthusiastic word maker took the Latin word iris, which means "rainbow," and morphed it into an English word that describes anything giving off a luminous, rainbow sheen or that changes color in the light. It's a great descriptive word — if you can resist the urge to spell it with an extra "r."
