英语词汇“sodom and gomorrah”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

A place likened to the city of Sodom in being extremely or notoriously depraved. Also Sodom and Gomorrah (see Gomorrhean adj. and n.).In the biblical account, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are destroyed by fire and brimstone sent by God because of the inhabitants' incorrigible wickedness. In a number of biblical passages, it is suggested that their vices include, amongst other things, sexual depravity of various kinds. However, in the many terms etymologically related to the name of the city (see, for example, sodomy n.), the association of Sodom primarily with homosexual practices seems to rest solely on Genesis 19:5, in which the inhabitants, according to some interpretations, seek to abuse sexually the two angels who are guests of Lot.
