基本释义

深入解读
Dismantle 一词源自古法语 desmanteler (拆毁堡垒的城墙,字面意思“脱掉披风、斗篷”),可以看作由前缀 dis- (分开、分离)+ mantle (披风、斗篷)构成。该词本义也是指“去掉……的覆盖物、脱掉……的衣服”,与小站之前推送过的 divest 近义,不过该义现已不再流行。
发展到今天, dismantle 主要用来表示其引申义“拆开、拆卸、拆除”机器或建筑物,多指将房屋、建筑物、船舶及复杂机械装置的全部设备和家具进行拆除,比如:
- 这个发动机出了毛病。我不得不把发动机拆开来修理。
The motor was out of whack. I had to dismantle it in order to repair it. - 敌人的军火库已经一块块拆散了。
The enemy’s arsenal was dismantled piece by piece.
这个概念也可以进一步用来表示拆除某个组织或制度,即“废除、撤销、解散”,多指在一段时间内通过减少其权力或作用来逐渐地使某个组织或制度停止运作,比如:
- 经历了这场战争的惨败之后,他们废除了物价管制。
After the debacle of the war, they dismantled price controls.
