悬崖,峭壁;比喻危险或危急的处境
记忆技巧
拆分联想
将单词拆分为 'pre-(前)' + 'cip(抓)' + 'ice(冰)'。想象你站在悬崖边(precipice),前面(pre-)的冰(ice)太滑,差点抓(cip)不住岩石,非常危险!
谐音梗
谐音‘扑热吸冰’:一个人从悬崖(precipice)上‘扑’下去,还‘热’衷于‘吸’悬崖边的‘冰’,危险又滑稽。
例句
Standing on the edge of the precipice, he felt both terrified and fascinated by the dizzying height. (站在悬崖边缘,他既因令人眩晕的高度感到恐惧,又为之着迷。)
