英语的大词

英语的大词

有些朋友喜欢大词,有些甚至到了痴迷的地步,可以说他们无大词不欢。这里,我也摘录了一些英语大词供大家欣赏,说到这里,也许有人会问:“这些词你记得住吗?”,坦率地说,我也记不住,我也是抄的,从一本书中摘出来的。这些词对我来说,都是珍品,也许一百页书里也看不到几个。总的来说,这些词大都宜观赏,不宜把玩,放到这里,也是供大家参考的。

顺便提一下,这些大词的表达方式是对一些常用谚语的改写,即,they are whimsical rephrasings of common proverbs, with big and unusual words, like those:

1, " temporizing hominines are consigned to oblivion"
  ---- they who hesitate are lost.
  2, " freedom from encrustations of grime is contiguous to rectitude."
  ----- cleanliness is next to godliness.
  3, " unremitting fealty to the métier sans interludes of hedonistic deflection renders john a hebetudinous hobbledehoy."
  ----- all work and no play makes jack a dull boy.
  4, "all coruscating entities are not auriferous"
  ------ all that glitters is not gold.
  5, " neophyte's serendipity"
  ------ beginner's luck.
  6, " scintillate, scintillate, asteroid minim"
  ------ twinkle, twinkle, little star.
  7, " reconnaissance antedates saltation"
  ------ look before you leap.
  8,” entities abiding in vitreous domiciles must forbear catapulting petrious projectiles."
  ----- those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks.
