📖 基本释义

[noun] a large long-handled spoon with a cup-shaped bowl, used for serving soup, stew, or sauce
[名词] 长柄勺


💡 深入解读

Ladle 是一个日常经常用到的器具,主要指“长柄勺、汤勺”,即一种有着深碗状勺头的长柄大汤勺,用于盛汤、炖菜、酱汁等。用作动词时, ladle 除了相应表示用长柄勺“盛、舀”外,还常用短语动词 ladle sth↔out 引申指“过分大量或慷慨地给予”金钱、建议、信息等,有时作贬义使用,

比如:

In those days doctors ladled out antibiotics to patients.那时候医生给患者使用大量的抗生素。

值得注意的是, ladle 中的字母 a 发 [eɪ] 音,不要想当然地误读成 [æ] 音。故此在《老友记》第5季第7集中,菲比以 ladle 谐音 later 开玩笑说过这样一句:You know what Larry would say? He'd say, "See you ladle."


📚 名著用例
