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

Why call it a mixture when it can be a melange? A tricolor vegetable melange makes even carrots, peas, and corn sound like gourmet cuisine. A melange is any combination of anything, but the word always heightens the glamour quotient.

The French have a way of making simple words sound like romantic entreaties of love.

This word — along with a melange of other attributes, like great bread and pastries, delicious wine, and fine fashion — are all reasons why we love the French. All that accordion music? Not so much.
