horseflesh 是一個英語名詞,其主要含義和用法如下:
字面意思:馬肉
"In some European countries like France and Belgium,horseflesh is consumed and can be found in specialized butcher shops." (在一些歐洲國家如法國和比利時,馬肉被食用,可以在專門的肉店找到。)
引申義:馬匹(尤指作為群體或商品)
"The rancher had a keen eye for qualityhorseflesh." (這位牧場主對優質馬匹有着敏銳的眼光。) 這裡指的是識别好馬的能力。 "The market for thoroughbredhorseflesh is highly competitive." (純種馬的市場競争非常激烈。) 這裡指作為商品的馬。
文學或古語用法:馬(強調其肉體存在)
horseflesh
可能更直接地指代馬的身體或馬的實體存在,強調其血肉之軀的特性。例如:"The knight and his trustyhorseflesh charged into battle." (騎士和他忠實的戰馬沖向戰場。) - 這種用法在現代英語中較少見,更常用

或直接說horse
。
Horseflesh
的核心意思是“馬肉”。其引申義指“馬匹”,尤其當被看作一個群體、商品或資産時,帶有一定的實用主義色彩。雖然它字面上可以指馬的身體,但在現代英語中,除非特别強調食用或商品屬性,直接指代活馬本身時,更常用簡單的 horse
或更具體的詞彙(如 steed
, mount
)。
