Language Enhancement:
Debris (n.)(殘骸)
這個字源自法語,正確讀音是 de-bree,該 i 是長音而字尾 s 不發音。它是不可數名詞,指物件被破壞後分裂出來的「殘骸」、「瓦礫」。在正式場合,它可解作「廢棄物」,與 rubbish 和 garbage 同義。
.
e.g. The authorities want to rescue the earthquake survivors quickly, but they do not dare to clear the debris using heavy equipment for fear of it crumbling.
e.g. A fireman was killed by flying debris as the firework factory exploded again."
