“balls”是英語中多義詞,其含義根據語境可分為以下四類:
球體與物體
作為名詞複數形式,“balls”最常見指代圓形或橢圓形的實體物體,例如體育運動中使用的“網球”(tennis balls)或機械裝置中的“軸承滾珠”(ball bearings)。劍橋詞典将其定義為“用于遊戲或運動的圓形物體”,常見于棒球、足球等團隊運動中。
勇氣與膽量(俚語)
在非正式口語中,“balls”隱喻“勇氣”或“果斷”,例如“It took real balls to quit that high-paying job”(辭去高薪工作需要真正的膽量)。《牛津英語詞典》指出該用法源自20世紀中期,通過類比男性生殖器象征力量。
解剖學術語
醫學領域特指哺乳動物的睾丸,常見于生物學文獻描述生殖系統結構。例如《格雷解剖學》在男性生殖器章節使用該術語描述陰囊内部器官。
粗俗感歎詞
作為感歎詞時表達憤怒或挫敗感,例如“Balls! I missed the train again”。語言學家David Crystal在《英語的故事》中分析此類用法屬于維多利亞時期遺留的禁忌語軟化形式。
