Chem. replace (an atom or group in a molecule) with another 【化】(分子中的原子或原子团)取代(另一个原子或原子团) □ substitutable adj.□ substitutability /-ˈbiliti/ n.□ substitution /-ˈtju:ʃ(ə)n/ n.□ substitutional /-ˈtju:ʃ(ə)n(ə)l/ adj.□ substitutionary /-ˈtju:ʃ(ə)n(ə)ri/ adj.□ substitutive adj.[Middle English from Latin substitutus, past part. of substituere (as SUB-, statuere ‘set up’)]■ Usage 用法说明 The use of substitute with the prepositions by or with, as illustrated in sense 2 of the verb above, is highly informal and should be avoided in standard English. The example substitute dairy milk with soya milk can be reworded as substitute soya milk for dairy milk (see sense 1 of the verb above). 在 substitute 与介词 by 或 with 搭配使用时(如上文动词释义 2 中所举例子),其语气极为不正式,在标准英语中应避免使用这种结构。可将例句 substitute dairy milk with soya milk 改写为 substitute soya milk for dairy milk (见上文动词的释义 1) 。 |
