今天我們要學(xué)的詞是 billow.
Billow作為動詞的意思是波浪一般的涌動、翻騰。A major fire irrupted in the famed Medieval Notre-Dame cathedral in central Paris, with smoke billowing over the city. 巴黎市中心著名的中世紀古跡巴黎圣母院內(nèi)燃起大火,巴黎上空彌漫著滾滾濃煙。
billow也可用作名詞。For many people, the idea that the black billows from truck tailpipes and power plant smokestacks are altering the earth's atmosphere seems abstract. 對于許多人來說,卡車排氣管和發(fā)電廠煙囪排出的滾滾黑煙改變著地球大氣層的這一看法似乎是抽象的。
