Of that dense drouth, those warm and heavy odors, that piercing fragrance, he alone was aware.
那浓郁的赤旱之气里的浓烈的热臭与刺鼻的芳香,只有他一人能感觉到。
The indigo bunting on the hill asserts title to the dead oak limb left by the 1936 drouth, and to divers near-by bugs and bushes.
小山上的靛蓝鹀开始鸣叫,声称拥有1936年大旱留下来的那棵枯死橡树的枝干,还有周围各式各样的虫子和灌木。
drouth是英语中"干旱"的古老拼写形式,现代标准拼写为"drought"《牛津英语词典》。该词源自古英语"drūgað",由原始日耳曼语词根*drugô(干燥)演变而来《韦氏词典》。在气象学领域,drouth指持续数月甚至数年的异常干燥天气,可能导致农作物歉收和水资源短缺《大英百科全书》。
文学作品中,drouth常被用作象征手法。约翰·济慈在诗歌《夜莺颂》中写道"My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains / My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk, / Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains / One minute past, and Lethe-wards had sunk",这里的"drouth"隐喻精神上的枯竭《济慈诗选》。威廉·福克纳在小说《我弥留之际》中多次使用该词描绘美国南方的生存困境。
语言学研究表明,drouth作为方言变体仍存在于苏格兰和爱尔兰英语中,常出现在民间谚语里,如"April drouth ne'er bred red wheat"(四月干旱不生红麦)《英语方言词典》。在专业文献中,建议使用现代拼写drought以确保准确性《APA格式指南》。
