    小知识

    The verb traverse means to travel across an extended area. “Her dream was to traverse the country by car, so she could meet new people and see all the kitschy sites — like the giant roadside tire in Michigan or the shoe house in Pennsylvania.”

    The verb traverse can also mean “to span,” to span a physical space or time. “The bridge traversed the river, linking the two cities.” Traverse can be used for any crossing, but it often is used when implying the crossing will be difficult. “She was exhausted from traveling in the snowy conditions, but she still had to traverse an icy bridge before she would arrive safely home.”

    单词用法

    词语辨析
    v.(动词)traverse，contravene，deny，gainsay，impugn，negative
    这组词都表示“否认”“否定”。其区别是deny指坚决地、直率地拒绝接受、给予或承认；gainsay强调“反对”，多指与对方就对方的话的真实性进行辩论，为正式或文学用语；negative指拒绝同意某事，语气比较温和。traverse主要指法律上的正式的否定。impugn侧重辩论、反问、诘难，这种辩论的时间往往持续很长，多用于陈述、建议等，少用于人。contravene强调彼此的冲突，但不侧重有意地反对。
