💡 深入解读

Weld 是一个与单词 meld (融合、合并、结合)既形似又近义的单词,两者可以一并联想记忆。该词变体自熟词 well (煮沸、涌上),16世纪90年代出现在英语中后即用来表示“焊接、熔接、锻接”,现在主要指通过吹管、电弧等方法将金属部件表面加热到熔点后流动结合在一起,或者通过挤压、锤击等手段使金属部件结合在一起而无论是否事先加热,常用搭配 weld A and B (together) 或者 weld A (on) to B ,

比如:

Iron spikes have been welded (on) to the railings around the embassy.大使馆周围的护栏上都焊上了铁刺尖头。

weld materials into an interesting narrative从这个概念出发, weld 常用来喻指“使紧密结合、使连成整体”,也就是使人或事物结合在一起形成一个和谐的或紧密团结的整体,尤其是将不同的人组成一个能够成功合作的强大团队,常用搭配 weld sb/sth into sth 或者 weld sth together ,比如:把种种素材组合成一篇引人入胜的故事

Their paramount chief had welded a bunch of untrained recruits into an efficient fighting force.他们的最高首领把一群未经训练的新兵组织成了一支有战斗力的部队。

此外, weld 也可以用作名词表示“焊接点、熔接处”以及“焊接、熔接、锻接;结合”。
