💡 深入解读
在上周推送的好书推荐 | 一本让你寒假弯道超车的单词书中，小站（微信公众号：田间小站）在文末提到李靓蕾在微博晒出的放弃赡养费声明中用到了 relinquish 一词，今天就来专门说说。该词源自拉丁语relinquere（抛下、抛弃、放弃），15世纪中期经古法语relinquiss-进入英语后开始用来表示“放弃”或“交出、让予”，常作为正式用语表示在不情愿的情况下自愿放弃继续持有或者主张某物，但这个单词本身的隐含意味较淡，具体色彩要视前后搭配词语或被放弃事物的特征而定，
比如：
In the interim, the founder was forced to relinquish control of the company.在此期间，创始人被迫放弃对公司的控制权。
The attendant who wore discreet jewellery relinquished possession of the house to her sister.那位戴着素净首饰的服务员将房子让给了她的妹妹。
Within seconds after she relinquished her hold/grip on the steering wheel, her car hurtled against the metal fence.从这个概念出发， relinquish 还可以用来形容放弃持有某个实物，即“松开、放开”，比如：她松开了握着方向盘的手几秒钟之后，她的车猛地撞上了金属围栏。
📚 名著用例
Her hand relinquished the rope of hair and dropped to her side, and the pile of tresses, no longer supported, fell from the crown of her head about her shoulders and over the white nightgown. 她的手松开了发辫，垂到身边，一头的秀发失去了依托，从她头顶泻下，散到肩头，落在她白色睡衣上。
