基本释义

[verb] to become weaker or less effective
[动词] 变得较弱或不太有效

深入解读

Falter 本义指在行走方面“蹒跚、踉跄、站不稳、摇晃”,以及在言语方面“嗓音颤抖、吞吞吐吐、支吾其词”。这两个含义概括起来就是走路不稳和说话不稳,暗示走路或者说话的人缺乏自信。

当人不自信时,就容易畏缩不前,因而 falter 还可以用来表示“动摇、畏缩、犹豫”。畏缩不前的不只有人,还有事物发展的处境局势,这也可以用 falter 来引申表达,即“摇摇欲坠”或“衰退、衰落”。

名人用例

Cowards falter, but danger is often overcome by those who nobly dare.
胆小的人可以逃跑,但危机往往由具有高贵胆识的人解决。

出自伊丽莎白二世(Queen Elizabeth II,1926年4月21日-),本名伊丽莎白·亚历山大·玛丽·温莎(Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor),为英国和其他15个国家的现任君主,以及英联邦的现任元首。
