“balls”是英语中多义词,其含义根据语境可分为以下四类:
球体与物体
作为名词复数形式,“balls”最常见指代圆形或椭圆形的实体物体,例如体育运动中使用的“网球”(tennis balls)或机械装置中的“轴承滚珠”(ball bearings)。剑桥词典将其定义为“用于游戏或运动的圆形物体”,常见于棒球、足球等团队运动中。
勇气与胆量(俚语)
在非正式口语中,“balls”隐喻“勇气”或“果断”,例如“It took real balls to quit that high-paying job”(辞去高薪工作需要真正的胆量)。《牛津英语词典》指出该用法源自20世纪中期,通过类比男性生殖器象征力量。
解剖学术语
医学领域特指哺乳动物的睾丸,常见于生物学文献描述生殖系统结构。例如《格雷解剖学》在男性生殖器章节使用该术语描述阴囊内部器官。
粗俗感叹词
作为感叹词时表达愤怒或挫败感,例如“Balls! I missed the train again”。语言学家David Crystal在《英语的故事》中分析此类用法属于维多利亚时期遗留的禁忌语软化形式。
