學(xué)個(gè)詞 Learn A Word: barometer 氣壓表、晴雨表
今天我們要學(xué)的詞是 barometer。
Barometer的意思是氣壓表、晴雨表，When a hurricane hits, 'Waffle House' becomes a barometer，當(dāng)颶風(fēng)來襲時(shí)，華夫餅屋就成了晴雨表。
什么意思呢？就是這家餐飲店是否開門顯示了颶風(fēng)的嚴(yán)重程度。
Democrats have already captured several races this year that were seen as barometers of the electorate, and the party is confident that enthusiasm will carry on，民主黨人今年已經(jīng)贏得了幾個(gè)被視為選民晴雨表的地方選舉，他們相信這股熱情將持續(xù)下去。
