Dressing
“Dressing” 有多重含义:穿衣服、打扮(dressing for work);沙拉调味酱(salad dressing);伤口敷料(wound dressing)。需根据上下文判断。
- “She spent ten minutes dressing for the interview.” (她花了十分钟打扮准备面试。)
- “I prefer olive oil dressing on my salad.” (沙拉我更喜欢橄榄油调味汁。)
- “The nurse changed the wound dressing twice a day.” (护士每天换两次伤口敷料。)
“Dress” 源于古法语 “dresser”(整理、排列),后专指整理仪容与衣着。
词根 “dress” 加 “-ing” 构成动名词或名词。
美式感恩节传统菜肴 “stuffing and dressing” 指填料;职场语境 “dressing professionally” 强调着装得体。
- 原形: dress
- 过去式: dressed
- 固定搭配: “salad dressing” (沙拉酱), “wound dressing” (伤口敷料), “dressing room” (更衣室)
“dress” 是穿衣打扮,“-ing” 把动作或结果名词化——穿衣过程或沙拉酱、敷料都叫 dressing。
“While dressing for the gala, she realized the zipper on her gown needed a quick repair.” (出席晚宴前打扮时,她发现礼服拉链得赶紧修一下。)
