一、詳細(xì)釋義：

n.

餓死；挨餓；饑餓；絕食

例句：

Prolonged starvation and aging might lead to rejuvenation of embryogenic potential.

例句：

Starvation is at one extreme of the spectrum of food intake; obesity is at the other.

饑餓是食物攝入量的一個(gè)極端，肥胖則是另一個(gè)極端。

二、詞義辨析：

hunger,famine,starvation

這些名詞均有“饑餓”之意。 hunger普通用詞，指人體對(duì)于食物迫切需要的正常生理現(xiàn)象。 famine指因天災(zāi)人禍而引起大規(guī)模饑荒；用作引申，指嚴(yán)重缺乏某種物資或人力。 starvation語氣比hunger強(qiáng)得多。指因長期缺乏食物所造成的痛苦，甚至死亡，側(cè)重人為的災(zāi)難所致。
