They are often used with words such as avoid, prevent, minimize, little, minimal and minimum. A disruption usually affects a thing such as work, a service or sb's life; a disturbance more often affects people or animals, although it can also affect sb's life or the normal way in which things happen. 这两个词常用于答应或许诺不会造成太多干扰的场合，与avoid、prevent、minimize、little、minimal和minimum等词连用。disruption影响的对象通常是work、service或sb's life，disturbance更多指对人或动物的影响，但也可指对某人的生活或事情正常发生方式的影响。■ turbulence / /ˈtɜːbjələns; NAmE ˈtɜːrbjələns/ [uncountable] (rather formal, especially written) a situation in which there is a lot of sudden change, confusion, strong feelings and sometimes violence 动荡；混乱；骚乱◆Europe was in a state of turbulence.当时欧洲正处于一片混乱之中。◆The country is facing a summer of political turbulence.这个国家正面临着一个政治动荡的夏季。■ disarray /ˌdɪsəˈreɪ/ / [uncountable] (especially written) a state of confusion and lack of organization in a situation 混乱；紊乱◆The peace talks broke up in disarray.和谈在混乱中破裂了。◆Our plans were thrown into disarray by her arrival.我们的计划因她的到来而陷入一片混乱。◆The party's election campaign is in total disarray.该党的选举造势活动处于一片混乱之中。ⓘ In this meaning disarray is always used in the phrase in/into (a state of) disarray. * disarray表达此义时总是用于短语in/into (a state of) disarray。 |
