基本释义

[verb] try to sell (something, especially small goods) by going from house to house or place to place
[动词] 挨家挨户推销或巡回销售(某物,尤指小商品)

深入解读

Peddle 一词于1837年逆构自名词 peddler (沿街叫卖的流动小贩、货郎),既可以表示“挨家挨户上门推销”,也可以指“到处巡回叫卖”,比如:

  • 他的工作是上门推销抹布和刷子。这项苦活令他劳累不堪。
    He worked as a door-to-door salesman peddling cloths and brushes. The toil had fatigued him.
  • 他到伦敦小画廊兜售自己的画作,结果以大败告终。
    His attempts to peddle his paintings around London’s tiny gallery scene ended in a fiasco.

可供四处兜售的不只是商品物资,还有某种思想、观点、消息等,因此 peddle 很自然地引申出“宣扬、散布、散播”一义,比如:

  • 散布恶意的谣言
    peddle vicious gossip
  • 散播过度的怀疑和悲观
    peddle inordinate doubts and pessimism

值得注意的是, peddle 的发音与表示自行车“踏板”的 pedal 一词相同,在听的时候要注意区别。

名著用例

They peddle out such a fish as that by the pound in the markethouse there; everybody buys some of him; his meat’s as white as snow and makes a good fry.
人家会在市场上论磅出售,每个人都会买一点。肉象雪一般白,煎着吃美味可口。

出自美国著名作家马克·吐温的长篇儿童文学作品《哈克贝利·芬历险记》(Adventures of Huckleberry Finn)。该作品是小说《汤姆·索亚历险记》(The Adventures of Tom Sawyer)的续集,为美国文学史上相当重要的作品。
