135.The fact that young Japanese women are using less deferential language is a sure sign of change-of social change and of linguistic change.
年轻的日本女性越来越少地使用敬语,这一事实无疑是社会变化和语言变化的征兆。
六级词汇讲解:
本句的主干是The fact...is a...sign...。that young Japanese women are using less deferentiallanguage是同位语从句,用来进一步解释说明fact; ofsocialchange and oflinguistic change是两个名词短语作同位语,用来解释说明破折号前面的change。
deferential的意思是顺从的,恭敬的。如:
He was slightly built, shy, deferential almost, with nothing in his dress to distinguish him from his workmen.
他身材瘦小,有些腼腆,对大家几乎是毕恭毕敬,从衣着上丝毫看不出他与他的工人们有什么不同。
deferential language的意思是敬语。
