教室里有人学习吗的英文怎么说(latewife是什么意思)
女人要出门,梳妆打扮少不了
忙来忙去,约会有时难免迟到
不过听到“late wife”
可别以为对方是在抱怨自己老婆总是迟到
回答千万要谨慎
01
“late wife”是什么意思?
late 除了表达“迟的,晚期的”
还有“已故的,已去世的”意思
所以late wife = 已故的妻子

02
“midwife”是什么意思?
mid 是个常见的词缀,除了表达“中间的”
还可以表示“with”(和…在一起) 的含义
wife在这里也不直接表示“妻子”
而是取自一层比较古老的含义,即 woman

(陪着女人生孩子的人)
即我们常说的:助产士,接生员;产婆
例:
Instead, many mothers rely on midwives and junior doctors for care.
相反,许多母亲依靠助产士和初级医生来护理。

来看英文词典的解释:
“
If a man and a woman are man and wife, they are married to each other.

所以 man and wife = husband and wife = 夫妻,夫妇
例:
Apparently relations between man and wife had not been improved.
显然,夫妻之间的关系并没有得到改善。
如果想表达“如夫妻一般地”
可以用:as husband and wife
例:
