/daɪˈæfənəs/
The curtains were diaphanous and let in soft light.
窗帘很轻薄半透明,让柔和的光透了进来。
In the moonlight, she seemed wrapped in a diaphanous veil of mist, making the whole scene feel unreal.
月光下,她仿佛被一层轻盈如纱的薄雾包裹,整个场景显得不真实、若隐若现。
来自希腊语 diaphanēs,由 **dia-**(“穿过”)+ phainein(“显现、发光”)构成,原意是“能让光穿透、透亮的”,因此引申为“薄而半透明的、轻柔飘逸的”。
