great aunt

更新时间:2026-05-30 08:32:02   栏目: 在线翻译

great aunt 的音标为:英 [ɡreɪt ɑːnt],美 [ɡreɪt ænt],含义是父亲或母亲的姑母、舅母、伯母或婶母,即中文中的“姑婆”“姨婆”“伯祖母”或“叔祖母”。它与 grandaunt 是同义词,均表示祖父母辈的姐妹。

用法与搭配

单独使用:直接指代亲属关系,可写作分开的 great aunt 或连字符形式 great-aunt

例句:I was always a little in awe of Great-aunt Stephina Roos.(我对斯蒂菲娜老姑总是怀着敬畏之情。)

固定搭配

Great-aunt + 人名:用于特指某位姑婆,如 Great-aunt Iris(艾瑞斯姑婆)。

所有格形式:表示“姑婆的……”,如 my great aunt's home(姑婆家)。

例句

信中仅附带提到了我的姑奶奶和叔叔。(The letter mentioned my great-aunt and uncle only incidentally.)

姑姥姥已经85岁了,但身体依然健朗。(Although my great aunt is 85 years old, she is still in good health.)

中午我要去姑婆家吃饭。(I will go to my great aunt's home for lunch at noon.)

我的大姨是一位有才华的艺术家,我喜欢去她的工作室看她最新的作品。(My greataunt is a talented artist and I love visiting her studio to see her latest creations.)

当我还是个孩子时,我的大姨经常用她自制的美味饼干来宠爱我。(When I was a child, my greataunt used to spoil me with her delicious homemade cookies.)

家里出了这么大的事,最好把姑太太请回来。(We'd better bring back father's great aunt, after such a big situation has happened to the family.)

那幅你一直认为很有价值的旧蚀刻画怎么样?就是玛莎姑妈恰好在第一次世界大战以前买回家的那一幅。(What about that old etching you've been meaning to have valued, the one that great Aunt Martha brought home just before World War I?)

常见误区

不要与中文“大姨妈”混淆:“大姨妈”指月经,英文对应 periodmenstruation,而非 great aunt

拼写注意:美式英语中“aunt”发音为 /ænt/,与英式 /ɑːnt/ 有别,但含义一致。

这个词在家族故事或书信中频繁出现,如小说《The Golden Road》中就有“Great-Aunt Eliza's Visit”的章节。你有没
