外刊例句

For more than a decade America’s most prominent gay family have lived on ABC. Gay and lesbian television characters were once such a rare sight that GLAAD an advocacy group began an annual count as if it were tracking an endangered species. Now millions tune in to “Modern Family” to see how Cam and Mitch are getting on raising their adopted daughter. Their portrayal of gay domesticity has been credited with helping to change attitudes and with boosting support for same-sex marriage.

影视例句



在英剧《神探夏洛克》中,Sherlock在华生的婚礼上发表了一段很突兀的演讲,其中就用到了今天的单词:

Married. Obvious really. Our Mayfly Man was trying to escape the suffocating chains of domesticity and instead of endless nights in watching the telly or going to barbecues with the awful dreadful boring people he couldn't stand he used his wits cleverness and powers of disguise to play the field.

-此人已婚,说实话这是明摆着的。这位露水情人只不过是想摆脱令人窒息的家庭生活,他不想把漫漫长夜浪费在电视前,也不想和无聊乏味、难以忍受的人一起去烧烤。于是,他用他的机智和伪装来游戏情场。
