evaporation
意味: The process by which a liquid turns into a vapour, typically at a temperature below its boiling point, or the gradual disappearance of something.
Evaporation is a key concept in chemistry, meteorology, and environmental science — it is the mechanism by which water enters the atmosphere as part of the water cycle. 'Rate of evaporation,' 'evaporation from the surface,' and 'evaporation loss' are standard collocations. The word is also used figuratively to describe the gradual vanishing of support, enthusiasm, or resources — 'the evaporation of goodwill' or 'profits evaporated.' The verb form 'evaporate' is equally common in both literal and figurative usage.
