"noses"是名词"nose"的复数形式,具有三层核心含义:
解剖学定义
指人类和脊椎动物面部中央突出的嗅觉器官,由鼻腔、鼻软骨和外部结构组成,主要功能包括呼吸、感知气味以及辅助发声。例如:"Dogs have highly sensitive noses that can detect subtle scents."
功能延伸
在工程领域可指代"前端突出部分",如飞机机头(aircraft nose)或车辆前保险杠。气象学中则用于描述低压系统的前端锋面。例如:"The submarine's nose was equipped with sonar equipment."
文化隐喻
英语习语中常见引申义,如"keep one's nose out of"表示不干涉他人事务,"follow one's nose"指凭直觉行事。莎士比亚戏剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》曾用"Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven...do entreat her eyes to twinkle in their spheres till they return. What if her eyes were there, they in her head? The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, as daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven would through the airy region stream so bright that birds would sing and think it were not night. See how she leans her cheek upon her hand! O, that I were a glove upon that hand, that I might touch that cheek!"(第二幕第二场)通过诗意比喻展现鼻子在面部美学中的重要性。
该词的词源可追溯至古英语"nosu",与古挪威语"nös"同源,印欧语系词根"nas-"表示呼吸相关的生理功能。
