词语用法

词义讲解

词源解说

v.(动词)

relax的基本意思是指“放松限制,紧张,牢固性或严格性”,既可指人,也可指物。

relax作“使轻松”解时,强调使人平静或解除疑虑,不紧张,可用作不及物动词,也可用作及物动词。用作及物动词时接名词或代词作宾语。

v.(动词)

relax, loosen, slacken

这组词都有“放松”的意思。其区别是：

relax指“放松限制,紧张,牢固性或严格性”; loosen应用的范围较广,可用于人或物从平时或暂时的束缚、限制中松开、解开; slacken则强调放松紧张或严格性的程度。

☆ 1420年进入英语，直接源自古法语的relaxer；*初源自古典拉丁语的relaxare：re (往后） + laxare (放松，松下），意为放松，松开。
