TIPS:GRE词汇零距离:“难以言说”英文释义
根据我们的中文释义,难以言说就是难以用语言来表达的意思,但你知道“难以用语言表达”用英语怎么说吗?
例句:
1.人的一生总有一些难以言说的秘密,无法逆转的悔恨,无可企及的梦想以及难以忘怀的爱恋。
In life we all have an unspeakable secret, an irreversible regret, an unreachable dream and an unfortettablelove.
2.不可言说指无法用语言充分表达的某物。
Je ne sais quoi is something that cannot be adequately described or expressed.
Je ne sais quoi是法语“我不知道是什么”的意思,这个词表达的不可言说之物多为褒义。
