dawn

黎明、破曉、天亮

We left the harbor just before dawn to catch the tide.

我們在天亮前就離開港口，好趕上潮水。

開端、初期、曙光

Those cave paintings date from the dawn of human history.

那些洞穴壁畫可追溯到人類歷史的開端。

天亮、破曉

The morning dawned clear and cold after the storm.

暴風雨過後，早晨天一亮就又晴又冷。

開始、來臨、興起

A new era of cheap air travel dawned in the 1990s.

廉價航空的新時代在一九九○年代來臨。

恍然大悟、意識到、明白dawn on someone

It suddenly dawned on me that I had locked my keys inside.

我突然意識到自己把鑰匙鎖在裡面了。
