- 1（戰爭、歲月等造成的）摧殘、浩劫
The ravages are the damage left after something harsh has done its work. English almost always uses the plural, and it loves the pattern the ravages of…: the ravages of war, the ravages of time, the ravages of disease. It is a little formal; you will meet it in news, history, and careful writing more than in everyday chat. Though actually, people stretch it: the ravages of time is a set way to talk about , even when nobody has attacked anything. You do not usually say a in the singular for this meaning. If you want the verb (to damage badly), that is , not ravages.
