matchwood 是一個英語名詞,主要有以下兩層詳細含義:
字面含義:用于制作火柴的木材或木屑
指那些質地松軟、易燃的木材(如白楊、松木等),常被劈成細條用于制作火柴梗。更廣義上,也可指任何被粉碎成細小碎片或刨花的木頭。例如:"The crate shattered into matchwood upon impact."(箱子在撞擊下碎成了木屑。)
比喻含義:徹底粉碎或毀滅的狀态
這是更常用的比喻義,形容某物(尤其是堅固或大型物體)被完全摧毀、打得粉碎,變得像一堆碎木屑一樣。常用于描述建築物、船隻等在劇烈沖擊(如爆炸、風暴、撞擊)後的狀态。例如:"The ship was battered by the storm and beaten to matchwood."(那艘船在風暴中飽受摧殘,被擊打得粉碎。)
詞源與權威參考:
總結來說,matchwood 的核心概念是“極度細碎的木頭”,既指實際的木屑材料,也生動比喻事物被徹底摧毀、化為齑粉的狀态。
