💡 深入解读

Haste 是一个与小站(微信公众号:田间小站)昨天推送的chaste拼写相近的单词,同时也曾在小词详解 | hasten有所提及,三者可以一并联想记忆。从词源上来看,该词最早于13世纪末由古法语haste(匆忙、紧迫、草率)进入英语,也是用来表示“急速、匆忙、仓促”,主要指人移动或行动的过快或过急,而非车辆、机器等,常意味着因时间紧迫、强烈渴望、愤怒冲动、决策鲁莽或者缺乏应有的深思而做事过快,以至于粗心大意并犯下错误,

比如:

为什么这么匆忙?

Why all this haste?

急得气也透不过来

be breathless with haste

After his first wife died, he married again with almost indecent haste.他的第一个妻子死后,他几乎是迫不及待地就再婚了。

使用时还常用搭配 in haste 表示“急速地、急忙地”或“草率地、轻率地”,比如:奋笔疾书

write in great haste

Oh well, to coin a phrase, marry in haste and repent at leisure.噢,常言道,草率结婚后悔多。

Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.名人名言
