名詞

estuary (複數 estuaries)

  1. 河口入海口
    • 1953 February,H. A. Vallance,「To Brighton through the Shoreham Gap」, in Railway Magazine,頁 82:
      The railway then follows the widening estuary of the river, which at high tide has the appearance of a lake, but at low water presents a rather cheerless expanse of dark mud.
      鐵路隨後沿著不斷擴大的河口行駛,漲潮時河口看起來像一個湖泊,但退潮時則呈現出一片頗為淒涼的黑色泥灘。
    • 2020年12月2日,Paul Bigland,「My weirdest and wackiest Rover yet」, in Rail,頁 65:
      There's something special about tidal estuaries, due to the abundance of wildlife and the ever-changing scenes as the water ebbs or rises. Throw in some moody skies and filtered sunlight, and the views can resemble a painting by Turner - only you don't have to go to the National Gallery to see this, it's brought to your seat on a train.
      潮汐河口有著獨特的魅力,因為這裡有著豐富的野生動物,隨著水位的漲落,景色也千變萬化。再加上陰沉的天空和過濾的陽光,這裡的景色就像是特納的畫作──只不過你不必去國家美術館就能看到,它就在你的火車座位上。
