Multiplicity

“Multiplicity” 表示存在大量的、各种各样的事物。它强调数量的多以及种类的杂。

  1. “There is a multiplicity of factors to consider before making a decision.” (在做决定之前,有大量的因素需要考虑。)
  2. “The new law has created a multiplicity of problems for small businesses.” (新法律给小企业带来了重重困难。)
  3. “The artist explores the multiplicity of human identity in her work.” (这位艺术家在她的作品中探讨了人类身份的多重性。)

源自拉丁语 “multiplicitas”,由 “multiplus” (多重的) 演变而来。词根是 “multi” (多) 和 “plic” (折叠)。

  • 前缀: “multi-”,意为“多”。
  • 词根: “plic”,意为“折叠”。
  • 后缀: “-ity”,名词后缀,表示“状态”或“性质”。

在哲学和数学中,“multiplicity” 是一个术语。在日常语境中,它常用于描述由于选择过多或情况过于复杂而带来的丰富性或混乱感。

  • 形容词: multiple
  • 动词: multiply

“multi” (多) + “plic” (折叠) + “ity” (性质)。联想:折叠了很多次,呈现出很多面,即“多样性”。

“In the city, there is a multiplicity of paths you can take to reach your goal. Some are fast and crowded, while others are slow and scenic. The beauty of life lies in the fact that we have so many choices.” (在城市里,你可以通过无数条路径达到你的目标。有些路很快也很拥挤,有些则很慢且风景优美。生活的精彩之处就在于我们拥有如此多的选择。)
