“事物的萌芽期”可以翻译为 "the embryonic stage/period of something" 或 "the nascent stage/period of something"。
Embryonic 强调处于初期发展、尚未完全成形的状态,常用于描述概念、计划、组织等的初始阶段。
Nascent 侧重于“新生的、刚出现的”,带有一种刚刚诞生、充满潜力的意味。
例句:The project is still in its embryonic stage, and we need more time to refine the details.
(该项目仍处于萌芽期,我们需要更多时间来完善细节。)
During the nascent stage of the internet, few people foresaw its global impact.
(在互联网的萌芽期,很少有人预见到它会带来全球性的影响。)
