基本释意

adj. 分居的;疏远的,不和的;(与某事物)脱离的,决裂的

同义词
alienated

短释义
The adjective estranged suggests a loss of affection, a turning away from someone. When a couple separates, we often refer to them as estranged — or no longer together.
形容词 estranged 表示失去感情,远离某人。当一对夫妇分开时,我们通常称他们疏远了——或者不再在一起了。

长释义
The word estranged is an unfriendly word with a negative connotation. The word strange within it seems to suggest an alienation of affection, and that a loving relationship has not only soured, but turned distant and even somewhat hostile. While the word is usually used to describe a human relationship, it can also refer to a political situation where nations that were once allies develop conflicts and become estranged.
estranged这个词是一个不友好的词,带有负面的含义。陌生二字似乎暗示着亲情的疏远,爱情不仅变质,而且变得疏远,甚至有些敌意。虽然这个词通常用来描述人际关系,但它也可以指曾经是盟友的国家之间发生冲突并变得疏远的政治局势。
