 《华尔街日报》日前预测,这次冰岛火山爆发,最糟糕的结果可能是引发另外一次规模更大的喷发。冰岛目前有35座活火山,一座火山爆发可能引发其他火山的连锁反应。1783年曾出现持续了8个月的火山爆发灾难。


  请看相关报道:
  The area is sparsely 1 populated, but the knock-on effects from the eruption 2 have been considerable.
  这部分地区人口虽然不多,但此次火山爆发仍然引起了影响极大的连锁反应。
  上文中的knock-on effect就是“连锁反应”的意思;这个词组原本表示“一连串的撞击事故”。相类似的词组还有domino effect,多米诺效应;snowball effect,滚雪球效应;ripple effect,连锁反应。ripple意为“涟漪”,这个词组就是指一连串的后果像水上的涟漪那样一环环震荡出去;此外我们更常见的一个词是chain,因此“连锁反应”我们也可是说chain reaction。

adv.稀疏地;稀少地;不足地;贫乏地

  • The ground was sparsely covered with grass. 地面上稀疏地覆盖草丛。 来自《简明英汉词典》
n.火山爆发;(战争等)爆发;(疾病等)发作
  • The temple was destroyed in the violent eruption of 1470 BC.庙宇在公元前1470年猛烈的火山爆发中摧毁了。
  • The eruption of a volcano is spontaneous.火山的爆发是自发的。
