短释义
A mantle is a word for something that blankets over something else, like the loose cloak worn by Little Red Riding Hood or the layer of earth between the crust and core.
地幔是指覆盖在其他东西上的东西,比如小红帽穿的宽松斗篷或地壳和地核之间的地球层。

长释义
Mantle is something that envelops and covers, like a tree covered in a mantle of snow. The Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra said, “Blessings on him who invented sleep, the mantle that covers all human thoughts.” Here, sleep is described as a mantle blanketing over the mind. Mantel is a variation of mantle, but it very specifically describes the shelf above a fireplace.
地幔是一种包裹和覆盖的东西,就像一棵被雪覆盖的树。西班牙作家米格尔·德·塞万提斯·萨维德拉说:“祝福发明睡眠的人,睡眠是覆盖人类所有思想的衣钵。”在这里,睡眠被描述为覆盖思想的斗篷。 Mantel 是 mantle 的一种变体,但它非常具体地描述了壁炉上方的架子。
