paradoxes n. 悖论(paradox的复数)
- And the only way to discuss these paradoxes is to regard the garden as a space of hybridity, a heterotopia.
唯一能讨论这些吊诡性的方法,便是将花园视为一个揉杂的空间,一个异质空间。 - Finally, Part VI discusses the contemporary significance of paradoxes and conflicts within the concept of human rights.
最后,第六部分讨论了人权概念之内的矛盾冲突在当代的重要性。 - The universal set seemed extremely natural and obvious, yet ultimately several paradoxes of set theory were traced to the assumption that it existed, which mathematicians now know is flawed.
全集似乎极其自然且显而易见,但是最终,人们从集合论的几个悖论追溯到全集存在的假设,数学家现在知道,这一假设是有瑕疵的。
paradox \par"a*dox\ (p[a^]r"[.a]*d[o^]ks), n.; pl. {paradoxes}
(p[a^]r"[.a]*d[o^]ks*[e^]z). [F. paradoxe, L. paradoxum, fr.
Gr. para`doxon; para` beside, beyond, contrary to + dokei^n
to think, suppose, imagine. See {Para-}, and {Dogma}.]
A tenet or proposition contrary to received opinion; an
assertion or sentiment seemingly contradictory, or opposed to
common sense; that which in appearance or terms is absurd,
but yet may be true in fact.
A gloss there is to color that paradox, and make it
appear in show not to be altogether unreasonable.
--Hooker.
This was sometime a paradox, but now the time gives it
proof. --Shak.
