基本释义
[verb] interfere in something that is not one’s concern
[动词] 干涉与自己无关的事情
深入解读
Meddle 源自拉丁语 miscere （混合、掺和），14世纪初进入英语时也表示“混合”，但到了14世纪末开始演变为“忙碌、关心、从事”之义。用作贬义时则是指“不适当地或不恰当地干涉或参与、多管闲事、自讨苦吃”，即干涉太多。
而这一贬义随着时间发展就成了 meddle 唯一留存下来的含义，现主要指“管闲事、干涉、干预”，常用 meddle in/with sth 表达，强调干预与自己毫不相关的事或不属于自己职责范围的事，隐含未经许可或授权之义，比如：
- 他无权干涉她的婚姻。
He had no right to meddle in her marriage. - 她老是想管闲事。
She is always trying to meddle.
值得注意的是， meddle with sth 还可以表示“瞎搞、乱弄（不是自己的或自己不懂的事物）”，也是强调未经授权许可，比如：
- 有人擅自摆弄过我的电脑。
Somebody had been meddling with my computer.
