- M& u$ g% m3 r, n+ R. j京昆高速“连环相撞”致17人死亡

11月21日9时左右，京昆高速平阳段太原方向65KM+500M处，37辆车发生连环相撞，造成4人当场遇难，40人受伤入院。根据最新的官方通报，目前现场救援已经结束，事故造成17人遇难、37人受伤、56辆机动车不同程度受损。


请看相关报道：

/ v' k  l7 K/ W, _0 C9 U6 G+ G/ S
普通的“车辆相撞”在英语中可以用car collision表示，如果是好几辆车“连环相撞”则会用pile up表示，名词形式为pileup，比如，这则新闻当中既用了动词形式“56 vehicles piled up on a Beijing-Kunming expressway”，也在标题中用到了名词形式“17 killed, 37 injured in N China pileup”。我们知道pile up原本的意思是“堆积”，在这里形容连环相撞的事故场面也的确很形象。

此外，crash也常用来表示“撞车”，但这里不一定是两车相撞，也可能是车辆撞到了别的物体上导致事故发生。所以，car crash包含的意义比car collision要广一些。另外，“飞机失事”也用plane crash来表示。

- W9 B: u+ V) ~3 s; s# d$ Z仅仅表达“尴尬”的意思，我们可以使用 embarrassed，embarrassing 和 awkward 三个词。Embarrass 是前两个词的词根，两者之间最好的区分方法的是，以 -ed 形式结尾的词形容人的感受，以 -ing 形式结尾的词形容引起该感受的事物。而 awkward 更适合形容人际之间的关系很尴尬，例如，和陌生人接触不习惯，觉得某人不好相处等。那么，这几个词可以互换吗？请跟随节目，通过我们的例句讲解区分这三者的“尴尬”。

' M8 T7 T4 @0 d  \; M' w谢谢小辣椒的来信。她提到了三个形容词 embarrassed、embarrassing 和 awkward，它们都含有“难为情的，尴尬的”意思，主要的区别在于它们在什么语境和场景中出现，它们的含义也会有所不同。
8 U% g) j4 i) T9 p& y7 N9 t6 [
0 q3 {4 B6 d9 q. S3 e# m英语中有不少形容词有同样的词根，但是结尾是 -ed 或者是 -ing，多数情况下 -ed 结尾的形容词可以用来描述一个人的感受 feeling，以 -ing 结尾的形容词则常用来形容引起这种感觉的事物 causing the feeling。就像 embarrassed 和 embarrassing 这两个词，它们的词根同为 embarrass。Embarrassed 是一种感受，表示心里的感觉 a feeling。 根据语境可以用来形容一个人或一群人感觉尴尬、难为情，不好意思、害羞的状态。Embarrassing 多数情况下是用来形容那个让人觉得尴尬，难为情，丢脸或不好意思的事情或人。
: m8 V7 F  V& I: D- ?& v6 V/ H) k& V
' I5 A" Q( Y4 b8 ?& Y我给大家举一个简单的例子。
$ \; o6 ]5 Y( v6 v
Example
My dad took to the stage at my best friend’s wedding, he attempted to sing Robbie Williams’s ‘Angels’ and it was so embarrassing. He even tried to copy Robbie’s dance moves. I’ve never felt so embarrassed in my whole life.
我爸爸在我最要好的朋友的婚礼上唱了一曲 Robbie Williams 的《天使》，简直是太难堪了。他还试图模仿 Robbie 的舞步。我从来没觉得这么丢脸。

Helen
  C  I! Y/ G$ n% }# U从上面这个例子中我们可以看出，我爸爸在我朋友面前上台唱歌跳舞是件令人尴尬 embarrassing 的事情。而我所感受到的难为情，羞愧的心情可以形容为 embarrassed。再举一个例子。

Everyone heard Peter fart in the meeting. It was so embarrassing!
所有人都听到 Peter 在会上放了个屁。那简直太丢人了！

. A3 p0 [1 B. fHelen
, a0 [4 `$ w3 \1 ?; n最后我们要关注的一个形容词是 awkward，它也有“尴尬的”意思， 在少数情况下，它和 embarrassing 的意思是一样的。比如。

6 G' p, [. ~* R7 L1 y: G" V. gExamples
There was an embarrassing silence.
There was an awkward silence.

' Y& T# V4 E+ p, HHelen
这两句话都是指有一段令人尴尬的沉默。不过 awkward 还有其它的含义是另外两个词所没有的。Awkward 可以用来形容一个人行动笨拙，或者不自然的状态、情景。它也可以用来形容一个人很难相处，或者形容事情或东西不好处理。我们通过以下例句来体会 awkward 的用法。

Examples
My father suffered from polio as a child and his walk was a little awkward.
! g3 s2 k3 I/ r我的父亲小时候得过小儿麻痹症，所以他走路的姿态有些笨拙。这里 awkward 有 clumsy 的意思。
1 @" n. S6 N+ S
' {7 J; ^/ h5 p! hHe feels awkward around strangers.
他在生人面前觉得很不自在。这里 awkward 有 uneasy，uncomfortable 的意思。

This box has an awkward shape, it’s very difficult to carry.
这个盒子的形状比较怪，不好携带。

My brother can be quite awkward sometimes.
我的弟弟有时候不好相处。这里 awkward 的近义词是 difficult。
) C: J  z1 L4 I2 t2 n- `
Helen
好了，希望今天帮助大家理解了 embarrassed，embarrassing 和 awkward 这三个英语单词的含义和区别。
; q: m! L. ~* D* P
. U3 y4 C. H8 ~& q: M  z0 S我们简单地总结一下 – embarrassed 可以用来形容一个人尴尬，难为情的感受。Embarrassing 可以用来形容一件令某人尴尬的事情或情景。Awkward 除了有尴尬的意思之外，还有不少其它含义是另外两个词所不包含的，比如形容行动笨拙，性格不好相处等等。

"Ah," I said to the little prince, "these memories of yours are very charming; but I have not yet succeeded in repairing my plane; I have nothing more to drink; and I, too, should be very happy if I could walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water!"

When we had trudged along for several hours, in silence, the darkness fell, and the stars began to come out. Thirst had made me a little feverish, and I looked at them as if I were in a dream. The little prince's last words came reeling back into my memory:
当我们默默地走了好几个小时以后，天黑了下来，星星开始发出光亮。由于渴我有点发烧，我看着这些星星，像是在做梦一样。小王子的话在我的脑海中跳来跳去。

And that was true. I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing. Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams...
确实如此。我一直很喜欢沙漠。坐在一个沙丘上，什么也看不见、听不见。但是，却有一种说不出的东西在默默地放着光芒……

"What makes the desert beautiful," said the little prince, "is that somewhere it hides a well..."
“使沙漠更加美丽的，就是在某个角落里，藏着一口井……”

When I was a little boy I lived in an old house, and legend told us that a treasure was buried there. To be sure, no one had ever known how to find it; perhaps no one had ever even looked for it. But it cast an enchantment over that house. My home was hiding a secret in the depths of its heart...
我很惊讶，突然明白了为什么沙漠放着光芒。当我还是一个小孩子的时候，我住在一座古老的房子里，而且传说，这个房子里埋藏着一个宝贝。当然，从来没有任何人能发现这个宝贝，可能，甚至也没有人去寻找过。但是，这个宝贝使整个房子着了魔似的。我家的房子在它的心灵深处隐藏着一个秘密……

It seemed to me that I was carrying a very fragile treasure. It seemed to me, even, that there was nothing more fragile on all Earth. In the moonlight I looked at his pale forehead, his closed eyes, his locks of hair that trembled in the wind, and I said to myself: "What I see here is nothing but a shell. What is most important is invisible..."
小王子睡觉了，我就把他抱在怀里，又重新上路了。我很激动。就好像抱着一个脆弱的宝贝。就好像在地球上没有比这更脆弱的了。我借着月光看着这惨白的面额，这双紧闭的眼睛，这随风飘动的绺绺头发，这时我对自己说道：“我所看到的仅仅是外表。最重要的是看不见的……”
! a/ H' w2 I# B
As his lips opened slightly with the suspicious of a half-smile, I said to myself, again: "What moves me so deeply, about this little prince who is sleeping here, is his loyalty to a flower-- the image of a rose that shines through his whole being like the flame of a lamp, even when he is asleep..." And I felt him to be more fragile still. I felt the need of protecting him, as if he himself were a flame that might be extinguished by a little puff of wind...
由于看到他稍稍张开的嘴唇露出一丝微笑，我又自言自语地说：“在这个熟睡了的小王子身上，使我非常感动的，是他对他那朵花的忠诚，是在他心中闪烁的那朵玫瑰花的形象。这朵玫瑰花，即使在小王子睡着了的时候，也像一盏灯的火焰一样在他身上闪耀着光辉……”这时，我就感觉到他更加脆弱。应该保护灯焰：一阵风就可能把它吹灭……
