🇺🇸 /tˈʌtʃ/
既可作动词,表示“触碰、接触”,也可作名词,表示一次触碰;还常引申为少量、联系、特征,以及对情感的触动。
💡 记忆钩子
核心概念是“接触”:手指接触物体是触碰,少量事物像轻轻碰上一点,保持联系是彼此接触,触动情感则是碰到了人的内心。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握动词“触碰”和名词“一次触碰”这两个基本义,再学习“少量”“联系”和“触动感情”等引申义。
- 注意它不仅表示身体接触,也常表示对人产生情感影响;“打动、触动”不能只按字面理解。
- 表示保持联系时常见于固定表达“保持联系”;这里的含义不是身体上的触摸。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
core 一次触碰📖 指手、手指或其他身体部位接触某物的一下,强调这个接触动作本身。它就像“接触”这个核心概念最直接的名词用法。💡 常用 a touch、a touch on/at + 身体部位或物体,表示一次轻微接触;touch 通常可数,但表示泛指触觉时也可不可数。不要把它和持续的 physical contact 混用,因为本义常强调“一下”。countable uncountableI felt a touch on my arm in the crowded station.在拥挤的车站里,我感觉到有人碰了一下我的胳膊。Please don't move the picture without my touch.没有我的触碰,请不要移动这幅画。

verb
-
core 触碰;摸到📖 表示用手、身体或其他物体碰到某人或某物,重点是实际发生了接触。这个意义最直接地体现了“接触”这一核心概念。💡 用“touch + 人或物”表示碰触对象,通常不需要介词。可用副词说明动作的方式,如轻轻地、短暂地或小心地触碰;不要把它和表示持续拿着的词混为一谈。transitiveI touched his face softly.我轻轻地摸了摸他的脸。
-
common 相互接触📖 表示两个物体或身体部位彼此碰到,强调双方处在接触状态,而不是某人主动碰某物。💡 常用“某物 + be touching + 另一物”或“touch each other”表示相互接触;这个意义通常是不及物的。描述位置时可说“肩膀彼此碰着”,不要再给它直接添加宾语。intransitiveTheir shoulders were touching on the crowded bus.在拥挤的公交车上,他们的肩膀碰在了一起。
-

common 与某人发生性关系📖 在口语或特定上下文中,表示与某人发生性关系,常带有委婉、责问或否认的语气。这里的“接触”已经引申为更亲密的身体关系。💡 通常用“touch + 人”构成,具体含义高度依赖语境和语气。这个用法可能显得粗俗、含糊或带有指责意味;谈论性关系时,最好使用更明确且合适的表达。He swore that he had never touched her.他发誓自己从未和她发生过关系。
-
rare 以手祝福或治病📖 这是历史用法,指君主通过触摸病人进行一种被认为具有治病作用的仪式。它只适用于特定的历史背景。💡 只在历史叙述中使用,常与君主、加冕或宗教仪式等背景连用;现代日常英语中不要用它表示普通触碰。historical transitive
-
rare 与金属发生反应📖 这是过时的化学或炼金术语境用法,表示某种液体能作用于或侵蚀特定金属。💡 属于废弃用法,只会在历史科学文献或仿古文字中出现;现代技术说明中应改用更明确的化学动词。intransitive obsolete
-
rare 受到非凡才能的影响📖 在旧式表达中,表示某人仿佛被某种伟大或非凡力量触及,因此显露出卓越特质。💡 通常出现在文学或历史语境的被动结构中,如“be touched with + 抽象品质”;现代日常表达不常这样说。transitive
-
rare 提及📖 在古旧表达中,表示在谈话或文章中顺带提到某件事,和“接触到一个话题”有关。💡 这是过时的及物用法,现代英语通常用更常见的“mention”或“touch on/upon”;不要把它当作普通的身体触碰。archaic transitive
-
common 简略谈及📖 表示谈话或文章顺带涉及某个话题,但没有展开详细讨论。它就像在思想上轻轻碰到一个话题。💡 常用“touch on/upon + 话题”,其中“on”更常见;后面接主题、问题或事项,而不是直接接人。它通常暗示只是简短提及,不表示深入分析。intransitiveThe report touches on the causes of the delay.这份报告简要谈到了延误的原因。
-
rare 有些醉📖 在过时或受限的口语用法中,表示某人喝了酒,已经有些醉意。💡 常见于“be touched”这样的被动形式,但这个意义已经过时且容易引起误解;现代表达通常直接说某人喝醉或有些醉。dated transitive
-
rare 批准或处理账单📖 这是苏格兰英语中的特殊用法,表示账单经过审议后得到批准或处理。💡 只在苏格兰地方用语或特定行政、历史材料中使用;普通英语中不要用它表示付款或批准账单。Scottish transitive
-
common 向人借钱📖 俚语中表示向某人开口要钱,通常是临时借一小笔钱。这里的“接触”引申为伸手从别人那里得到一点帮助。💡 常用“touch + 人 + for + 金额”,语气很口语化,有时带有厚着脸皮求借的意味。正式场合应改用表示借钱或请求经济帮助的普通说法。slang transitiveI was short of cash, so I touched Mike for ten dollars.我手头缺现金,所以向迈克借了十美元。
-
common 古怪;不太正常📖 在“be touched”或“touched in the head”等表达中,表示某人行为古怪或被认为精神不太正常。这个说法可能带有轻蔑或冒犯意味。💡 通常使用被动形式“be touched”,不能像普通触碰动词一样随意改成主动结构。描述心理或智力状态时,这个词可能不礼貌,正式或尊重他人的语境应避免使用。transitiveYou would have to be touched to trust that ridiculous offer.你得脑子不太正常,才会相信那个荒唐的提议。
-
rare 试探;检验📖 这是古旧用法,表示像用试金石检验金属一样,试探某人的感情或忠诚。💡 只在古典文学或仿古文体中使用,现代英语通常改用“test”或“prove”;不要把它理解为普通的身体接触。
-
common 略加一笔;润色📖 在绘画、书写或设计中,表示用笔轻轻补上一小笔,修饰或勾勒出某个细节。它仍然保留了“轻轻接触表面”的感觉。💡 常用“touch + 作品或表面”表示略加笔触,也可用“touch up”表示修饰、润色。这个意义多用于艺术、绘图或外观处理,不等于重新完整绘制。She touched the painting with a few careful strokes.她用几笔小心的笔触润色了那幅画。
-
rare 轻微感染或影响📖 这是过时用法,表示某种疾病、情绪或影响轻微地波及某人。💡 只见于旧式文字,现代英语通常根据具体对象使用“infect”“affect”或其他更明确的词;不要在日常表达中照搬这种用法。obsolete
-
common 演奏乐器📖 表示用手操作乐器并发出声音,尤其可指弹奏键盘或其他需要直接触碰的乐器。这里是把手与乐器接触引申为演奏。💡 常用“touch + 乐器”表示演奏某种乐器,尤其偏文学或较讲究的表达;现代日常英语更常用表示演奏的普通动词。不要把这个用法误解成只是在摸乐器。She touched the piano and began a quiet melody.她弹起钢琴,奏出一段安静的旋律。
-
rare 奏出一支曲子📖 在旧式或文学表达中,表示演奏出一首具体的曲调。它比一般的“演奏乐器”更强调奏出的音乐作品。💡 常见于“touch + 曲调或乐曲”这样的文学结构,现代英语中通常直接使用表示演奏的动词;不要把它当作最普通的演奏说法。
-
rare 推动;强烈影响📖 在文学或正式旧式表达中,表示以某种力量影响或推动人的意志和行动。这里的“接触”已经抽象成外力碰触并改变人的状态。💡 多用于书面语,常与“意志、行动或心灵”等抽象对象连用;现代英语通常会根据语境改用表示影响、推动或迫使的词。

🌳 词源
经古法语进入英语,词源可追溯至表示“敲击、抓取”的日耳曼语词根;与 tuck 同源。
From Middle English touchen, tochen, from Old French tochier (“to touch”) (whence Modern French toucher; compare French doublet toquer (“to offend, bother, harass”)), from Vulgar Latin *tuccō (“to knock, strike, offend”), from Frankish *tukkōn (“to knock, strike, touch”), from Proto-Germanic *tukkōną (“to tug, grab, grasp”), from Proto-Indo-European *dewk- (“to draw, pull, lead”). Largely displaced native Middle English rinen, from Old English hrīnan (whence Modern English rine). Doublet of tuck.
Cognates
Cognate with Old High German zochhōn, zuhhōn (“to grasp, take, seize, snatch”) (whence German zucken (“to jerk, flinch”)), German Low German tucken, tocken (“to fidget, twitch, pull up, entice, throb, knock, repeatedly tap”), Middle Dutch tocken, tucken (“to touch, entice”) (whence Dutch tokkelen (“to strum, pluck”)), Old English tucian, tūcian (“to disturb, mistreat”) (whence Modern English tuck). Compare also Old High German tokkōn, tockōn (“to abut, collide”). More at tuck.
Via Proto-Indo-European *dewk- cognate with English tie, tow, tug, team, Latin dūcō, dux.
