Motionless
“Motionless” 是一个形容词,用来形容完全没有移动或活动的状态。它常用来描写极度的安静或某种僵住的状态。
- “The deer stood motionless as the hunters passed by.” (当猎人们走过时,那只鹿纹丝不动地站着。)
- “The lake was so calm and motionless that it looked like a mirror.” (湖水是如此平静、毫无波澜,看起来像一面镜子。)
- “He lay motionless on the bed, deep in sleep.” (他静静地躺在床上,熟睡着。)
由名词 “motion” (运动) 和后缀 “-less” (没有) 组成。“motion” 源自拉丁语 “movere” (移动)。
- 词根: “motion”,意为“动作”。
- 后缀: “-less”,意为“没有…的”。
“Motionless” 常在恐怖或悬疑小说中营造紧张感,比如一个身影 “stood motionless in the shadows” (静静地站在阴影中)。
- 名词形式: motionlessness (静止)
- 动词原型: move
“motion” (运动) + “less” (无)。直接理解为“无运动的”。
“During the game of ‘Statues’, the children had to remain perfectly motionless. If anyone moved even a finger, they were out of the game. It was a true test of patience.” (在“木头人”游戏中,孩子们必须保持绝对静止。如果有人动了一下手指,他们就出局了。这真是耐心的考验。)
