单词 disturbance
释义
disturbance
(once / 433 pages)
n

A disturbance is a noisy commotion that causes a hubbub or interruption. It can also be a worried mental state.
In hotels, people put up "Do not disturb" signs when they want to be left alone. That's a good clue to what a disturbance is: something, usually noisy or rowdy, that bothers people. An audience member yelling during a piano concert would be a disturbance. Disturbances can also be interruptions, like a disturbance in cable service when the cable goes out. Disturbances can also be mental: if you're worried or anxious, that's a type of internal disturbance.
