ilk/ilk/n. 1 colloq., usu. derog. a family, class, sort, or kind [口] [通常贬]家族，等级，同类，同种 for John and his ilk there is only one kind of music 只有一种音乐可供约翰和他的家人欣赏 2 (in 用于 of that ilk) Sc. of the same place, estate, or name [苏格兰] (地点、地产或姓名)相同 (Guthrie of that ilk 加斯里地区的加斯里家 = of Guthrie) [Old English ilca ‘same’]■ Usage 用法说明 Of that ilk is a Scots term meaning ‘of the same place, estate, or name’. By misunderstanding ilk has come to mean ‘family’ or ‘sort’. This should be avoided in formal English. 短语 of that ilk 是苏格兰习语，意指地点、地产或姓名都相同。它可能会被误认为意指“家族”或“同类”的 ilk 。这种情况在正式英语中应避免。 |
