[名词] 挽具
💡 深入解读
Harness 一词源自古法语harnois(武器、装备;挽具;家用设备),14世纪进入英语后最初用来指“个人作战装备、盔甲”以及“战马的盔甲或装饰”。随后, harness 就被用来表示现在的基本含义指“挽具、马具”,即套在马等役畜身上由其驾驶员控制的用来拉车、犁等的器具。将这个概念用作动词时, harness 除了相应表示“给马等上挽具”以及“用挽具把……套到……上”,
比如:
We harnessed two restive horses to the cart.我们把两匹烈马套到了车上。
To be candid with you, I feel harnessed to my job.跟你说实话,我感觉我被我的工作套牢了。
His attempts to harness the sun's rays as a source of energy ended in a fiasco.也可以用来引申指“驾驭、控制、利用”自然资源等物的力量以产生动力、能量等,比如:他利用日光作为能源的尝试以大败告终。
We must harness the skill and creativity of our workforce to pull the moribund company back from the brink.我们必须尽量发挥全体职工的技能和创造力,来使行将倒闭的公司起死回生。
值得注意的是,在英式英语中有两个由 harness 发展出来的有趣习语,一个是in harness常指休息或假期结束后“正常工作的、在日常工作中”,另一个是
in harness (with sb)
The industrious player feels good to get back in harness.表示与某人“联手、通力合作”,即为了实现某个特定的目标而与人密切合作,比如:这名勤奋努力的运动员回到工作岗位上感觉良好。
You should work in harness with him to eliminate your common nemesis.你应该与他通力合作,以铲除你们共同的劲敌。
A Yellow River well harnessed is a millennia-long aspiration of the Chinese people.此外, harness 也可以用在人身上表示“系带、背带、保护带”,即一组安装在人的手臂下并固定在身体周围以起固定或保护作用的挽具状带子,比如婴儿学步用的系带(a baby harness)、降落伞吊带(a parachute harness)。权威用例黄河安澜是中华儿女的千年期盼。
