foliated(形容词):
/ˈfoʊliˌeɪtɪd/ /ˈfəʊlɪeɪtɪd/
The hills were covered with foliated plants after the spring rains. 春雨过后,山坡上长满了枝叶繁茂的植物。
Under the microscope, the sample showed a foliated texture typical of metamorphic rocks formed under intense pressure. 在显微镜下,这个样品呈现出典型的片理结构,这是强压力下形成的变质岩常见特征。
foliated 来自拉丁语 folium(“叶子”),经由英语 foliate(“使成叶状/使呈层状”)发展而来。其核心意象是“像叶片一样的形态或层片结构”,因此既能描述植物“多叶”,也能用于地质学的“片理/层状构造”。
