"entreat" 是动词,指怀着强烈情感请求或恳求他人,常带有情感共鸣或迫切性。该词源自古法语"entraiter"(意为处理、对待),14世纪进入英语后逐渐演变为表达恳切请求的含义。
在具体用法中,"entreat" 多用于正式语境或文学场景,如:"The prisoner entreated the king for mercy"(囚犯恳求国王宽恕)。其名词形式"entreaty"(恳求)常见于法律文书和古典文学,例如莎士比亚在《麦克白》中写道:"I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself and falls on the other... I'll go no more: I am afraid to think what I have done; Look on't again I dare not."(此处暗示麦克白夫人对丈夫的entreaty)。
现代语境中,该词多用于宗教文本、外交辞令或情感强烈的个人请求。剑桥词典指出,"entreat"与普通请求动词(如ask)的区别在于包含"emotional appeal"(情感诉求)和"sense of urgency"(紧迫感)的双重含义。
