本頁推薦單字--halo
------------------------------------------
hallow
v.把...視為神聖 [to make holy; sanctify; consecrate.]
ex. people hallow this old 榕樹 as a patron saint(守護神)
ps.1
hallow v.把...視為神聖 // Halloween n.萬聖節前夕(10月31日)
hollow a.空的
ps.2
萬聖夜「Halloween」,為「All Hallow Eve」的縮寫
萬聖節是怎麼來的
其實在天主教會裡面,十一月一日是諸聖節 (All Saints Day),隔天十一月二日則為萬
靈節(All Souls Day,或譯為追思亡者節 ),可以說是萬聖節的起源。
早在西元前數世紀,凱爾特人(Celts,居住在蘇格蘭、威爾斯及愛爾蘭等地)便在十月
三十一日的時候,慶祝一個名為「 Samhain 」的節日。因為在十月底,活人世界跟死人
世界之間的界線會變得模糊,因此死人的靈魂很容易進入活人的世界,跟我們農曆七月開
鬼門的傳說很像。在那一天,大家會穿著奇裝異服,在外面遊行,希望能把外面的孤魂野
鬼給嚇跑。
hallowed

hallucination

halo
n.光暈(建議看一下wiki,裡面很豐富) [A circular band of colored light around a
light source, as around the sun or moon, caused by the refraction and
reflection of light by ice particles suspended in the intervening atmosphere.]
ps. halo主要是由大氣的對流層內的ice crystals 所造成的,當光線打入這些ice
crystals內的時候,會有折射與反射的現象,使得不同頻率(顏色)的光被分出來,而產生
相似rainbow的光環。
n.在宗教繪圖中環繞在神聖者的身上或頭上的光圈
halt
n.暫停 [A suspension of movement or progress, especially a temporary one]
ex.在當兵時的口令"立定"英文版就是 halt
v.使停止 [To cause to stop]
ex. Don't halt here; move on, move on!
不要停留在這裡,往前走,往前走!
ps. 如果你有設定過BIOS,你應該會看到halt這個字唷,不然你可以試試看
ex. Halt on "All but keyboard"
halting
halt-ing
adj.躊躇的, 猶豫的 [faltering or hesitating, esp. in speech.]

impede]

n.有蓋大籃 [A large basket, usually with a cover.]
ex. a picnic hamper
laundry:hamper

handle
n.把手 [A part that is designed to be held or operated with the hand.]
v.操作;處理 [To operate with the hands; manipulate; To cope with or dispose
of]
ex. to handle knotty problems.
對付棘手的問題
字源: handle這個字,是由hand所架構而成的,最先的意思就是"用手處理"
hangar
n.飛機庫 [A shelter especially for housing or repairing aircraft.]
ex. The plane nosed into the hangar.
飛機緩緩地進入機庫.
聯想:把飛機吊起(hang)來修理的地方叫 hangar

hangdog
hang-dog
adj.可憐的 [defeated; intimidated; abject]
ex. It was a painful, hangdog progress for him.
對他而言,那是一個痛苦而受屈的過程。
adj.內疚的 [ showing a sense of guilt]
整體來說,若你用hangdog這個字形容人,通常指那個人,看起來是sad的,而且有sense
of guilt的感覺在。比方說,因為賭博而傾家蕩產的人 has a hangdog face/ look.
hanker
v.嚮往;渴望 [To have a strong, often restless desire.]
ex. to hanker after the dance with you. (介係詞用after唷)
ps.一般說"嚮往;渴望"用desire就可以了,如果你想說的是那種強烈、又停止不下來的渴
望,你可以用hanker這個字。比方說想吸菸想的不得了,to hanker after the
cigarette.,或是想見你想見的不得了to hanker after/for meeting you.
字源:字典說hanker這個字,與hang有關,我的推測是指那種魂牽夢縈的渴望而來的

hanker-ing
n.嚮往;渴望 [a longing; craving.]
ex. getting a hankering for something a little different.
hap
n.幸運 [Fortune; chance.]
v.發生 [To happen.]

hazard這個字原本指"骰子遊戲"
haphazard
hap-hazard
adj.隨意的 [characterized by lack of order or planning, by irregularity, or
by randomness; determined by or dependent on chance; aimless.]
ex. in haphazard order.
ps. haphazard由hap, hazard兩個字所組成,這兩個字都帶有chance的意思,所以結合起
來就是指"隨chance所發生的", "隨意的"意思
harangue
n. 自大傲慢的演說[A long pompous speech, especially one delivered before a
gathering.]
ex.harangue指的是種演說,特別是指那種"長"、"強烈"、"傲慢"的長篇大論演說,通
常是為了強迫要人群接受某個想法。 比方說,當兵的時候就會聽到很多次長官的
harangue,要大家去做一些不可思議的蠢事。
