- 1盛產石油的、石油蘊藏豐富的
When we call a country oil-rich, we mean there is a lot of oil under its land or under the sea beside it, and that oil brings in a lot of money. You will hear this in news English far more than at the dinner table: an oil-rich country, an oil-rich region, an oil-rich state. Though actually, the place is not to touch. The 'rich' is the oil in the ground, and the money that follows. People sometimes stretch the same pattern to food — oil-rich fish, oil-rich seeds — meaning the food itself holds a lot of oil. That is a different picture, so keep the country sense and the food sense apart.
說一個國家是 oil-rich,指它的土地底下,或它旁邊的海底,藏著很多石油,而石油讓它賺進大量的錢。這個字在新聞英文裡很常見,固定寫法是「an oil-rich __」,後面接國家、地區或州,日常餐桌上的聊天則很少用到。
這裡的 rich 不是說東西摸起來油油的,它指的是地底下的石油,以及跟著石油而來的財富。另外,有時人們也會把同樣的寫法用在食物上,像是 oil-rich 的魚或種子,意思是食物本身含油量很高。這是另一個畫面,要和國家的意思分開來看。
組成oil + rich. Here oil is the oil from the ground, and rich means 'having a lot of it'.
