The avoidance of my lessons continued until my mumasked me about it. “I want to quit.” My tears started flowing. “If you reallywant to quit, why are you crying?” asked mum. She had a point and I realized Iwanted to stay in band and, by not facing my fears, I had created a black hole that would be difficult to climb out of. Imade a resolution not to hide from my fears and to stand up to even the worstof them, so a solution could be achieved.
请问文中的 create a black hole的意思是?
1.black hole 的字面义
black hole 的字面意思是“黑洞”。《剑桥高阶英汉双解词典》对black hole 的讲解是:a region in space where gravity isso strong that nothing, not even light, can escape 黑洞(宇宙中包含光线在内的任何东西都没办法逃逸的强引力地区),也可表示an imaginary place in which things are lost (想像中事物消失的)黑洞。如:
Anythingthat crosses the boundary of a black hole cannot get back. 任何物质只须跨越黑洞的界线就再也没办法出来。
Thedark star in Nova Muscae 1991 is a black hole rather than a neutron star. 在1991年苍蝇座中的暗星其实是一个黑洞而非中子星。
Radio signals received from thegalaxy’s centre back up the black hole theory. 从该星系中心收到的无线电信号证实了黑洞理论。
2.black hole 的比喻义
blackhole 也可用于比喻义,表示“绝望”“糟糕的境地”“绝望的境地”等。网友句子中的black hole 就是比喻义:
By not facing my fears, I had created a black hole that wouldbe difficult to climb out of. 因为不敢面对恐惧,我让自己陷入了一种绝望的境地,并非常难从中解脱出来。
