affright

基本解释

These birds from their secret haunts affright the quiet of the night.
从暗藏的鸟窝里飞出的这些鸟儿使寂静的黑夜显得害怕。
Sometimes he says things that affright one but it is impossible to understand what he says.
有时，他自言自语些可怕的东西，但是他说了些什么，没人有能听得懂。
On the other hand, a doctor not telling the truth about his patients' health to avoid affright among his family; or a policeman lying in order to avoid panic is a noble lie.
但从另一方面来说，如果一个医生为了避免家属的恐惧而隐瞒病人身体状况的事情，或是一个警察经常为了避免群众恐慌而隐瞒事实，那么这种谎言就是“高贵的谎言”。
