n.肖像；雕像

These men are, in fact, dummies or effigies of the presidential candidates. 剛才采訪的這兩個(gè)人，實(shí)際上只不過是總統(tǒng)候選人的肖像而已。

From the Middle Ages stories were told of wise men who could bring clay effigies to life by means of magic charms or sacred words. 它現(xiàn)在的涵義源自中世紀(jì)，那時(shí)產(chǎn)生了許多關(guān)于術(shù)士的傳說，這些術(shù)士能夠以一道符咒，或把字母拼成一個(gè)神圣的字或神的名字，而賦予一個(gè)雕像生命。
