resplendent
UK/ri'splendәnt/US
GREC2
释义
adj.
Brilliantly bright and dazzling in appearance, often through rich color or finery
光辉灿烂的;华丽耀眼的
词根拆分
词根派生re-(此处加强)+ splend(闪耀)+ -ent(形容词)=「光芒四射、耀眼」。家族中最强、最贴近字面的一个:几乎总描述肉眼可见地闪耀着颜色、光或华服的事物——a general resplendent in his medals(将军勋章熠熠生辉)。
词根 splend 还连着 3 个词使用指南
几乎总跟 in 引出华饰:resplendent in a scarlet uniform(一身猩红军装夺目)、resplendent in jewels(珠光宝气)。它正式而文学化——可以这样形容孔雀或新娘,很少形容三明治。
