multitude(n.)
"众多的人群; 人群或拥挤; 众多的特征,数量众多",早在14世纪,源自古法语 multitude(12世纪)和直接源自拉丁语 multitudinem(主格 multitudo)"众多,人群; 人群,普通人民",源自 multus "许多,大量"(见 multi-) + 后缀 -tudo(见 -tude)。相关: Multitudes。
A multitude, however great, may be in a space so large as to give each one ample room; a throng or a crowd is generally smaller than a multitude, but is gathered into a close body, a throng being a company that presses together or forward, and a crowd carrying the closeness to uncomfortable physical contact. [Century Dictionary]
然而,一个 multitude,无论多么伟大,都可以在一个足够大的空间内给每个人充足的空间; 一个 throng 或 crowd 通常比 multitude 小,但聚集成一个紧密的团体,一个 throng 是一个紧密地聚集或向前推进的公司,而一个 crowd 则带来了不舒适的身体接触。[世纪词典]
