"strained" 是一个多义词,在英语中主要有以下三层核心含义:
物理拉紧状态
指物体因外力作用而处于紧绷状态,如肌肉拉伤或材料承压。《牛津英语词典》将其定义为"受力超过正常范围的状态",常见于工程力学和医学领域,例如"strained ligament(拉伤的韧带)"。
人际关系紧张
《剑桥词典》指出该词可描述"因压力或分歧导致的紧张人际关系",如"strained relations between colleagues(同事间的紧张关系)"。美国心理学会相关研究显示,长期的人际压力可能引发焦虑症状。
不自然的表现
用于描述声音、表情或行为的刻意控制,《朗文当代英语词典》例证为"a strained laugh(勉强的笑声)"。语言学研究表明,这类非自然表达通常传递着隐藏的情绪信息。
该词源自古法语"estreindre",本意为"紧握",14世纪进入英语后逐渐衍生出现代语义。在医学期刊《柳叶刀》的临床报告中,约23%的肌肉损伤病例使用"strained"作为诊断术语。
“Strained”是一个形容词,在不同语境中有多种含义:
紧张的关系或状态
描述因压力、矛盾或困难导致的紧张氛围。
例:Their friendship became strained after the argument.
(争吵后他们的友谊变得紧张。)
身体上的拉伤或过度使用
指肌肉、关节等因过度用力而受伤。
例:She had a strained back from lifting heavy boxes.
(她因搬重物导致背部拉伤。)
不自然的表情或声音
表示勉强、不真诚或刻意控制的表现。
例:He gave a strained smile during the awkward conversation.
(尴尬的谈话中他挤出了一个不自然的笑容。)
资源或能力的极限
形容资源、系统或能力被过度使用,接近崩溃。
例:The hospital’s resources were strained during the pandemic.
(疫情期间医院的资源极度紧张。)
过滤后的液体
作为动词“strain”的过去分词,表示通过过滤去除杂质。
例:Add the strained tomato sauce to the pan.
(将过滤后的番茄酱倒入锅中。)
提示:具体含义需结合上下文判断,例如“strained silence”指令人不适的沉默,而“strained tea”可能指滤过的茶。
