英文释义

名词 n.
  1. The act of indrifting.
    — Thus often does the thunder-cloud, advancing slowly towards us, seem to be propelled (apparently against the wind), so as to induce us to thing ourselves safe from its approach; but this is a deception, the current blowing from us towards it being but an indrift towards the higher temperature of the cloud, and the attraction caused by its electrical nature creating a partial or comparative vacuum.
动词 v.
  1. To drift in.
    — It was as one of the old Cinque Ports which the departing sea and the ever indrifting sand have left high and dry, unapproachable by water, a port only in name.
