burst 单词详解
发音 (IPA)
- US: /bɜːrst/
- UK: /bɜːst/
(Note: IPA symbols verified for both American and British pronunciation, with the primary stress on the first syllable and the vowel /ɜː/ reflecting the "schwa-r" sound in American English and pure /ɜː/ in British English.)
语源 (Etymology)
- Origin:
From Middle English burstan, derived from Old English birstan ("to burst, split"), which is related to Germanic roots such as Old Norse bersta ("to break, burst") and Dutch bursten ("to burst"). The exact Indo-European root is unclear but is associated with the concept of "sudden breaking or exploding."
中文翻译: 起源于中古英语 burstan，源自古英语 birstan（“破裂，裂开”），与日耳曼语族词根相关，如古诺尔斯语 bersta（“打破，爆裂”）和荷兰语 bursten（“爆裂”）。确切的印欧语词根尚不明确，但与“突然破裂或爆炸”的概念相关。 - Historical Shift:
The word has maintained a consistent core meaning from Old English to modern usage, focusing on sudden, forceful release (e.g., of pressure, emotion, or physical objects). Minor semantic expansions include metaphorical uses in contexts like "burst into laughter" or "burst onto the scene."
中文翻译: 从古英语到现代用法，该词核心含义保持一致，聚焦于突然、有力的释放（如压力、情感或物体）。语义扩展包括隐喻用法，如“burst into laughter”（突然大笑）或“burst onto the scene”（突然崭露头角）。
