英文释义

名词 n.
  1. The time period during which a person, group, culture, etc. is at its peak.
    — Though Aristotle claimed that a human being reaches his intellectual peak at age forty-nine (Rhetoric 1390b9), chronologists reckon a person's flowering—his floruit—at about age forty. The mists of time have made the precise reckoning of chronology quite difficult. Sometimes, when a birth is not known, a floruit can be estimated on the basis of what is known about an individual's career.
动词 v.
  1. lived, used in biographies to indicate a time period during which a person is known to have been alive, when dates of birth and/or death are not known. defective
    — Marius Mercator must have shared the vigour of Alcimus, for he floruit in 218 according to Mr. Miller , while he at any rate existed in 418.
