Screaming meemies is World War I army slang, originally a soldiers' name for a type of Ger. artillery shell that made a loud noise in flight (from Fr. woman's name Mimi), extended to the battle fatigue caused by long exposure to enemy fire. 词根记忆： v. /n.尖声叫,喊叫着说出,(风)呼啸"Ice-cream!" he screamed in dream."冰淇淋!"他在梦中惊叫道. |
