| 单词 | 绕圈 |
| 释义 | 〔mill〕Tomill, in Western U.S. English, means "to halt a cattle stampede by turning the lead animals.”In theOxford English Dictionary we find this 19th-century example of the verb: "At last the cattle ran with less energy, and it was presently easy to ‘mill’ them into a circle and to turn them where it seemed most desirable" (Munsey's Magazine).This usage ofmill comes from the resemblance of the cattle's circular motion to the action of millstones. A related intransitive sense of the verb is better known in Standard English: A crowd milled around in the street. Originally this sense ofmill also meant "circular motion"; now it means "to move around in churning confusion"with no pattern in particular.Mill 这个词在美国西部所说的英语中， 意为“通过让领头牲畜绕圈子跑来制止牛群的惊跑”。在牛津英语词典 中， 我们可以找到该动词19世纪用法的例子： “最后牛群终于跑得快没劲儿了，这时候可以容易地驱赶头牛，把其它牛绕进圈子里，然后把它们赶到最合适的地方去” （芒西杂志）。Mill 的这种用法来自牛群绕圈跑与磨石运作的相似之处。 该词作不及物动词时所具有的与此相关的意义在标准英语中更为常见： 一群人在大街上兜圈子。 Mill 的这一含义本来亦指“旋转运动”； 现在它指“在旋涡般的混乱中到处移动”，不再有其它特指〔scramble〕To run around with the ball behind the line of scrimmage while searching for an open receiver.（单独带球）冲锋陷阵：在争球线后带球绕圈跑动以寻找一个自由接手〔circumflex〕From Latin circumflexus [bent around, circumflex] [past participle of] circumflectere [to bend around] 源自 拉丁语 circumflexus [绕圈，绕圈而行的] circumflectere的过去分词 [使绕圈] 〔round〕Movement around a circle or about an axis.旋转：绕圈或绕轴旋转〔tarantella〕A lively, whirling southern Italian dance once thought to be a remedy for tarantism.塔兰台拉舞：一种起源于意大利南部的欢快绕圈舞蹈，曾被认为是一种治疗毒蜘蛛舞蹈症的方法〔tatting〕Handmade lace fashioned by looping and knotting a single strand of heavy-duty thread on a small hand shuttle.梭织花边：在一只小型手工操作的梭子上将一股厚重耐磨的线绕圈打结所做成的手制花边 |
