(单词翻译)

in the Doldrums, in the doldrums

前者的意思是“在Doldrums海域里”。Doldrums位于非洲海岸大西洋内,是个热带无风带。该海域的特点为,当大西洋其他地区刮大风时,海浪滔天,而the Doldrums 海面依旧平静如常,后来人们由此而引伸出另一个意义,当他们感到“意志消沉”、“毫无生气”或“闷闷不乐”时,就用 to be in the doldrums这个短语来表示。现在请对比 in the Doldrums和 in the doldrums在下列句中的不同涵义:

Our ocean liner is now sailing in the Doldrums.

我们的轮船现在正在Doldrums海域航行。

Recently,trade appeared to be in the doldrums.

近来商业一片萧条。

You look as though you were in the doldrums.Cheer up!

看来你的意志颇消沉,振作点吧!
