  • 名词形式: infertility (不育,贫瘠)
  • 反义词: fertile (肥沃的)

in (不) + fertile (肥沃的)。联想:如果你不能从土地里“带出”(fer) 果实,那这块地就是 “infertile”。

“The farmer tried for years to plant wheat on the hill, but the land was too infertile and rocky. Instead of giving up, he planted lavender, which thrives in poor soil. Soon, his once-useless hill was covered in beautiful purple flowers, showing that even infertile ground can be productive in its own way.” (农夫多年来一直试图在山上种小麦,但土地太贫瘠且多石。他没有放弃,而是种了在贫瘠土壤中也能茂盛生长的薰衣草。不久,他那曾经毫无用处的山坡长满了美丽的紫色花朵,证明了即使是贫瘠的土地也能以自己的方式产出。)
