depict的基本意思是“表现一个形象”或“栩栩如生地再现”,即“描绘”,指给物体着色或素描某一物体。不仅强调所采用的艺术形式,更强调轮廓鲜明。借用在文学上表示“描写”“描述”,强调外表、形象、色彩等具体细节。 depict主要用于绘画,所以其后不能接picture等词。 depict只用作及物动词,可接由名词或代词充当的简单宾语,也可接由动名词或as短语充当补足语的复合宾语。 depict表示的是“画……的图”,而不单指“画图”。所以depict a dog表示“画狗的图”,而表“画一张图,图的内容是狗”时,决不可用depict a picture of a dog来表示。 动词99%,名词1% 用作及物动词Her noveldepictslife in modern London.她的小说描写的是伦敦现代的生活。 The bookdepictshim as a rather unpleasant character.这本书把他刻画成一个相当令人讨厌的人物。 This paintingdepictsthe birth of Venus.这幅画描绘的是维纳斯的诞生。 It's a picturedepictinghim as a clown.这是一幅把他画成小丑的画。as in.representing 同义词 characterizing,defining,delineating,describing,exhibitingillustratinginterpreting,mirroringpersonifyingpicturing,portraying,presenting,reporting,reproducing,revealing,showing,symbolizing 反义词 distorting,misrepresentation,misrepresentingas in.outlining 同义词 aligning,banding,bounding,charting,circumscribing,delimiting,delineating,designing,diagramming,drafting,drawing,girdling,mapping,planning,plotting,projecting,tracingdrawing up outliningnoun sketching aligning,banding,bounding,charting,circumscribing,delimiting,delineating,designing,diagramming,drafting,drawing,drawing up,girdling,mapping,planning,plotting,projecting,tracing representingadjective purporting to depict characterizing,defining,delineating,depicting,describing,exhibitingillustratinginterpreting,mirroringpersonifyingpicturing,portraying,presenting,reporting,reproducing,revealing,showing,symbolizing After all, what is the one modern form of expression almost completely dedicated to depicting happiness? 当代有一种艺术表现形式,几乎是专门致力于刻画“快乐”的,究竟是什么呢? putclub But it’s hard to imagine many albums depicting both, just a few pages apart. 很难想象的是,很少有本本相册能描绘两种人,并且仅仅是相隔几页。 yeeyan For a series of excellent graphics depicting the Dark Star's possible orbit, click here. 点击这里查看一系列描绘暗行星可能轨道的精美图片。 blog.sina.com.cn The story does not shy away from depicting the harrowing details of the campaign, down to the dysentery and malaria. 此片对悲惨的战斗细节刻画的淋漓尽致,对痢疾和疟疾场面也毫不避讳。 yeeyan “ All the events we are depicting are so small they are below the wavelength of light,” he said. “我们描绘的所有事件都发生在一个极小的世界中,这个世界比光的波长还小,”他说。 yeeyan As late as1582, one map of the world went further, depicting the sites of Judgment, Purgatory and the outer and inner circles of Hell. 直到1582年,地图才进一步地将审判所——炼狱、地狱的外层和内层描绘出来。 yeeyan Pakistan objected to the depiction of Adam, which it said broke a prohibition on depicting Koranic figures. 巴基斯坦反对亚当的图像,认为其触犯了描绘了可兰经人物的禁忌。 ecocn.org The pictures depicting the life of the prairie people are simple but touching. 这些描绘草原人民生活的画面都很素朴动人。《新英汉大辞典》 |
