3. 全国各地奔走 crisscross


Today marks one week until the 2024 presidential election, and with just days until America makes its big decision, both candidates are crisscrossing the country, focusing on the crucial swing states.


今天距离2024年总统选举仅剩一周,随着大选日临近,两位候选人正在全国各地奔走,专注于关键的摇摆州。


之前学《经济学人》学到过苏州古城区的水道纵横,就用到过crisscross



英文:If a person or thing criss-crosses an area, they travel from one side to the other and back again many times, following different routes. If a number of things criss-cross an area, they cross it, and cross over each other.


指在某个区域内反复穿行,形成类似十字交叉或网络的路径,表示来回奔走。


词源:源于“cross”,表示十字形,早期用来描述交错的路径或线条图案,后演变为穿越或交错移动。


Crossroad 🛣️:n. 十字路口,表示路径交汇或十字形道路的交叉点。


Crosswalk 🚶:n. 人行横道,常用于道路交汇处,供行人穿越。



替换表达:


Traverse:穿越,行经。


Elizabeth Bisland left New York heading the opposite way, traversing the United States first before heading across the Pacific.伊丽莎白·比斯兰离开纽约,朝相反的方向走去,首先穿越美国,然后穿越太平洋。


Shuttle back and forth:来回穿梭。


I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor.我整个上午都在海港上来回穿梭。




4. 势均力敌  



The race is neck and neck.

两位候选人的支持率非常接近。


The latest CNN poll found the candidates deadlocked among likely voters nationwide.

最新的CNN民调显示,两位候选人在全国范围内的潜在选民中势均力敌。


neck and neck最早来自赛马比赛中,用于形容马头并排、不分前后的局面,类似于“齐头并进”。


我们还可以用“in a dead heat”:



The two candidates are in a dead heat in the polls.两名候选人在民意测验中势均力敌。


deadlock来自“dead”(停止的)+“lock”(锁住),意指一种被“锁住”的状态,无法前进。


替换表达:

stalemate ⚔️:僵局或停滞不前的局面。

impasse 🚧:绝境或进展的阻碍。


注意下用法哦:


deadlock 和 deadlocked 都表示“僵局”或“停滞”的状态,但在用法上略有区别:


1️⃣ deadlock (名词)


释义:指两方势均力敌或互相抵触,导致无法前进或做出决策的局面(a complete failure to reach agreement or settle an argument )。



2️⃣ deadlocked (形容词)


释义:在用法上,它属于“[not before noun]”,即一般不放在名词前修饰,而是用于表述状态。用来形容处于僵局状态的事物或人,表示“被困于僵局”。


搭配:


Candidates are deadlocked:

候选人势均力敌。


Despite months of discussion the negotiations remained deadlocked. 

尽管已讨论数月,谈判仍僵持不下。




天知道听着这首歌完成排版有多欢快嘛,都不困了!



感觉已经调理好了,不管是点赞1000还是点赞10,都是我认真做的内容,撤啦!
