"Emasculate" 是一個動詞,源于拉丁語 emasculatus(由前綴 e-(去除)和 masculus(雄性)組成),其核心含義包含兩層:
生物學/醫學層面的閹割
指通過手術或化學手段去除雄性動物的睾丸或生殖功能。例如在畜牧業中,為控制動物繁殖或改善肉質,可能對公牛實施去勢手術(來源:Merriam-Webster)。
社會或抽象概念的削弱
用于比喻事物失去力量、活力或威懾性,例如:"The new policy emasculated the original legislation, reducing its enforcement power"(新政策削弱了原法案的效力,降低了執法力度)。這種用法常見于政治、經濟或文化領域的分析(來源:Oxford Learner's Dictionaries)。
該詞在語言學研究中被歸類為"語義擴展"的典型案例,從具體生理行為延伸至抽象概念弱化。現代英文中第二種用法更為普遍,但需注意語境敏感性,避免在涉及性别議題時産生歧義(來源:Cambridge Dictionary)。
