darkened (by) Explanation: (be) darkened by The question about his getting married is/has been darkened by the fact/the news that there was an earthquake in Japan. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day7 hrs (2011-03-24 06:48:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Конкретното значение на darken, което изпозлвах в предложението си: darken - 2. to become less hopeful or positive, or to make something like this. Example: The news darkened their view of the situation. Ако търсите идеята, че женитбата на героя е била засенчена като събитие от трагичното земетресение, то тогава аз лично бих избрал overshadow(ed), но ако трагичните събития са помрачили настроението и вълнението преди сватбата и сватбените приготовления, то (be) darkened би бил за мен по-подходящ вариант. :) |
