基本释义
[noun] an overwhelming number of questions, criticisms, complaints, etc. delivered simultaneously or in rapid succession
[名词] 同时或连珠炮一样接二连三的(质问、批评或投诉等)
深入解读
barrage源自法语单词barrer(停止),但直到1916年第一次世界大战时,才根据法语短语tir de barrage(火力网)产生炮火相关含义,主要指“火力网、弹幕、掩护炮火、齐射等”,比如一阵乱箭就可以说“a barrage of arrows”。由于火力网是一种齐射式的攻击,因此barrage又引申指“一连串、接二连三的一大堆”,比如遭到连珠炮似的诘问,就可以说“be under a barrage of questions”。除此之外,barrage还可以指“(击剑、骑马越障竞赛等的)复赛或平局之后决胜负的附加赛”,以及“水坝、拦河坝(此时读音为[ˈbɑːrɪdʒ])”。
