基本释义
[verb] extend beyond or above a surface
[动词] 伸出到表面之外或之上
深入解读
Protrude 是一个与常见单词 intrude (侵扰、闯入、扰乱;强加)同词根 trud (推、冲)的单词。其中, protrude 由前缀 pro- (向前)+词根 trud + e 构成,17世纪10年代由拉丁语 protrudere (向前推进;推出)进入英语后,原本也是用来表示“向前推进”。
等到了17世纪20年代后, protrude 开始发展出现在的主要含义指“突出、凸出、伸出、鼓出”,常作正式用语或书面用语使用,与日常口语中的 stick out 相对,尤指从出乎意料之处向外伸出到周围表面或环境之外或之上,适用于形容那些明显突出或者似乎不属于周围环境的事物,比如:
- 龅牙
protruding teeth - 招风耳
protruding ears - 伸舌
protrude one’s tongue - 门嘎吱一声开了。他把上衣挂在凸出墙面的一根钉子上。
The door creaked open. He hung his coat on a nail protruding from the wall.
图书例句
