withered
🇺🇸 /wˈɪðɚd/
🇬🇧 /ˈwɪðəd/
形容因缺水、衰老或失去生机而变得干瘪、皱缩或褪色。
💡 记忆钩子
把有水有生命的东西想成饱满的叶子；水分和生机一点点流失，它就会变得干瘪、皱缩、褪色，这就是“枯萎、干瘪”的核心画面。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“因缺水而枯萎、干瘪”这一基本意思，再注意它也可描写因衰老而显得皱缩、失去生气的外表。
- 不要把它只理解为普通的“旧”或“坏”；它强调的是饱满和生机消失后的状态。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
core 枯萎的；干瘪的📖 指东西，尤其是植物或有水分的组织，因为缺水而干瘪、皱缩或褪色；也可以借此描写衰老、失去生气的外表。💡 常用“withered + 植物或身体部位”或“look/become withered”这一结构，例如描述枯叶、花朵或衰老的脸。它通常突出外表已经失去饱满和生机的结果，可用于文学描写，也能用于普通叙述。不要只把它译成“干燥的”，因为它往往暗含由水分流失导致的枯缩变化。The withered leaves fell from the tree in the dry heat.枯萎的叶子在干热的天气里从树上落下来。Her face looked withered after years of illness.多年的疾病让她的脸看起来枯瘦憔悴。
