单词 | 拖运 |
释义 | 〔team〕To transport or haul with a draft team.用联畜运输或拖运〔carry〕A non-Southerner is always amused when a Southerner offers to "carry" rather than to drive him or her somewhere,imagining it to be an invitation to be picked up and bodily lugged to the destination.However, the verbcarry, which to Southerners means "to transport (someone) in a motor vehicle, such as an automobile,” is etymologicallymore precise in the Southern usage than anywhere else.Carry derives from the Latin noun carrus, "cart,” from which we get the nounscarriage and our modern car. Therefore,carry is more closely related to car than is drive, which only makes literal sense if the vehicle is drawn by a team of animals.当一个南方人提出把一个非南方人“运送”而不是开车带到某地时,这个非南方人总是觉得好笑,会以为是一个把他或她“拖运”到某地的邀请。然而,carry 这个动词对南方人来说意思是“用机动车辆(例如汽车)运送某人,” 从词源学的角度来讲,该词在南部的用法比在其它任何地方者更为确切。Carry 一词从拉丁语中的名词 carrus “货车”发展而来, 从此我们又得到了名词carriage 和现在的 car 。 因此,carry 比 drive 而更为与 car 的关系密切, 因为如果一辆车由一组动物拉着,那么它就只能表示字面上的意思〔horseflesh〕Horses considered as a group, especially for driving, riding, or racing.(总称)马:被看作一个群体的马,特别是用于拖运东西,骑用或比赛用的马〔skidder〕A heavy, four-wheel tractor used to haul logs, especially over rugged terrain.运材拖车:用于拖运木材的重型四轮拖车,尤指用于崎岖地带〔haul〕To transport, as with a truck or cart.搬运:如用卡车或马车拖运〔punt〕To carry in a punt.用方头或平底船拖运〔trailer〕A large transport vehicle designed to be hauled by a truck or tractor.拖车:被设计来用卡车或拖拉机拖运的一种大型运输车辆 |
