🇺🇸 /ɹˈɛsʌl/ 🇬🇧 /ˈɹɛsl̩/
noun 编号: W01569 BNC #11240 COCA #6407
wrestle 主要表示“扭打、摔跤”,也可引申为与困难、对手或问题艰难抗争、费力处理。
💡 记忆钩子
把它想成两个人紧紧扭在一起、互相用力:身体上的扭打是“摔跤”,人与人或双方之间的竞争是“较量”,把困难的问题搬动、解决,也像是在和它“较劲”。
📝 学习建议
  • 先掌握动词的具体用法“摔跤、扭打”,再学习引申义“艰难处理或抗争”。
  • 不要把它只理解成正式比赛中的“摔跤”;在比喻用法中,它常表示处理困难问题时付出了很大力气。
📖 中文释义
noun
  • core 摔跤;扭打

🌳 词源
源自古英语,最初与“扭转、拧动”有关,后来发展出“摔跤、抗争”等含义;名词由动词转化而来。
The verb is derived from Middle English wrestlen, wrastlen (“to engage in grappling combat or sport, struggle, wrestle; to twist and turn, squirm, wriggle, writhe; (figurative) to contend, grapple with, struggle”), from Old English wrǣstlian (“to wrestle”), a frequentative form of wrǣstan (“to twist, wrest”), from Proto-Germanic *wraistijaną (“to turn; to twist, wrest”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *wreyt- (“to twist”). By surface analysis, wrest + -le (frequentative suffix). Probably related to wraxle (UK, dialectal, archaic). The noun is derived from the verb. cognates * Middle Dutch worstelen, wrastelen (“to wrestle”) (modern Dutch worstelen) * Middle Low German wrostelen (“to wrestle”) (German Low German frösseln, wrösseln) * Saterland Frisian wrosselje (“to contend, wrestle”) * West Frisian wrakselje (“to wrestle”)
