perigee
意味: The point in an orbit nearest to earth; figuratively, the lowest or closest point in a cycle or trajectory.
Perigee is primarily an astronomical term, the counterpart of apogee. It describes the point in a celestial body's orbit when it is closest to earth — as in a 'supermoon' occurring at lunar perigee. Its figurative use is less common than that of apogee but appears in literary and formal contexts to denote a low point or nadir. Common collocations include 'lunar perigee,' 'at perigee,' and 'the perigee of.'
