| 词汇 | the dry salvages |
| 词源 | the dry salvages. A small but well-known group of rocks, with a beacon, off the coast of Cape Ann, Massachusetts, Sal- vages here rhymes with assuages, perhaps because “the dry sal- vages” is a corruption of les trios sauvages. “The Dry Salvages” is the title of a poem by T. S. Eliot. |
