Epiphany
“Epiphany”是一个名词,主要有两个含义:
- 顿悟:突然理解、领悟的时刻
- 启示:意识到某事重要性的时刻
- She had an epiphany about her career. (她对职业有了顿悟。)
- The epiphany changed everything. (顿悟改变了一切。)
- He experienced an epiphany. (他经历了顿悟。)
“Epiphany”来自希腊语 “epiphaneia”(显现),由 “epi-”(在…上)和 “phainein”(显示)组成,原意为”显现”。
- 前缀:epi-(在…上)
- 词根:phany(显示)
“Epiphany”常用于描述突然理解、领悟的时刻,在正式和日常语境中经常使用。
- 复数形式:epiphanies
- 形容词形式:epiphanic(顿悟的)
可以将 “epiphany” 与 “realization”(领悟)联系起来,两者都与突然理解、领悟有关。
When I was struggling with a problem, I had an epiphany - suddenly everything clicked and I understood what I needed to do. The epiphany came out of nowhere, but it solved everything. An epiphany is that “aha!” moment when you suddenly understand something important that you didn’t see before.
当我为一个问题而挣扎时,我有了顿悟——突然一切都明白了,我理解了我需要做什么。顿悟来自无处,但它解决了一切。顿悟是那个”啊哈!“时刻,当你突然理解你以前没有看到的重要事情时。
