基本释义
[noun] a trap for catching birds or animals, typically one having a noose of wire or cord
[名词] 一种捕捉鸟类或兽类的陷阱，通常带有金属丝或线绳套索
深入解读
Snare 是一个与常见单词 scare, share, spare, stare 等较为形似的单词。该词最早是用来表示捕捉鸟兽的“圈套、陷阱、罗网”，主要指带有金属丝或线绳套索的装置，用来缠住鸟兽，尤其是圈住它们的腿从而使之无法逃脱，比如：
- 男孩们设下圈套来捕捉大猎物。
The boys set snares to catch big game.
进而常作正式用语喻指“圈套、陷阱、骗局”，适用于形容偶然、意料之外或者缺乏谨慎警惕而遇到的危险，并且一旦涉及之后就无法轻易摆脱，比如：
- 法律制度对那些不谨慎的人而言充满了陷阱。
The legal system is full of snares for those who are not wary.
用作动词时， snare 相应除了表示“设圈套、陷阱、罗网等捕捉”外，还可以喻指“诱……入圈套、诱得、谋得”，多指通过欺骗、巧妙或熟练的办法得到，并常意味着被诱者像在圈套中那般处于一种越挣扎越绝望的境地，比如：
- 被诱为娼
be snared into prostitution - 中了一个女人的圈套
be snared by the wiles of a female - 谋得一份很赚钱的副业
snare a lucrative sideline - 他一心要攀住一个有钱的老婆。
His one thought was to snare a rich wife.
图书例句
To have surrendered to temptation; listened to passion; made no painful effort — no struggle;– but to have sunk down in the silken snare; fallen asleep on the flowers covering it; wakened in a southern clime, amongst the luxuries of a pleasure villa: to have been now living in France, Mr. Rochester’s mistress; delirious with his love half my time — for he would — oh, yes, he would have loved me well for a while.
经不住诱惑听凭欲念摆布，不作痛苦的努力，没有搏斗，落入温柔的陷阱，在覆盖着陷阱的花丛中沉沉睡去。在南方的气候中一觉醒来，置身于享乐别墅的奢华之中，原来已住在法国，做了罗切斯特先生的情妇，一半的时间因为他的爱而发狂，因为他会，呵，不错，他暂时会很爱我。
