n.大灾难⁷⁴;大祸²⁴;彻底失败²复数catastrophes
不幸灾害灾难祸
n.名词
C灾祸,灾难a sudden, unexpected, and terrible event that causes great suffering, misfortune, or ruin
Noun:
an event resulting in great loss and misfortune;the whole city was affected by the irremediable calamity the earthquake was a disaster a state of extreme usually irremediable ruin and misfortune;lack of funds has resulted in a catastrophe for our school system his policies were a disaster a sudden violent change in the earth's surface
n.名词
catastrophe, calamity, disaster这三个词均可指不幸的灾难。disaster指人为的或自然的灾祸; calamity指造成的灾祸比disaster更大; catastrophe指造成的损失无法补偿。 disaster，calamity，catastrophe，misfortune这些名词均表示“灾难”或“不幸”之意。 disaster普通用词，指大破坏、痛苦或伤亡。 calamity多指个人的不幸，比disaster严重，强调灾难引起的悲痛以及对于损失的感觉。 catastrophe语气最强，指可怕的灾难，强调最终的结局。 misfortune多指较为严重的不幸，强调不幸多由外界因素所致。 原本是个戏剧术语，表示戏剧的颠覆性结局。希腊古典戏剧通常由四部分组成：冲突产生、冲突发展、高潮和结局。其中，结局要求要出乎意料，主人公一般会突然沦入与开始时完全不同的境地，这种结局就叫做catastrophe。这个词进入英语后，应用范围逐渐拓展，除了指戏剧的结尾外，还可以引申为各种事情的结局，并且又倾向于指不好的结局，即从顺境急转直下落入极其糟糕的境地，所以也就具有了“大灾难，大祸”的含义。
