【beat是什么意思?熟词僻义之英文“beat”】大家看到“beat”以后觉得是“打败”的意思 , beat确有defeat (someone) in a game or other competitive situation的意思 , 例1可以译为:英格兰队又一次战胜了对手 。例2句中beat是什么意思?如把beat还当成“打败 , 战胜”的意思 , 那句子译文就不通顺了 , 我们查了字典以后 , 发现beat的另外一个意思 , strike (a person or an animal) repeatedly and violently so as to hurt or injure them, typically with an implement such as a club or whip , 也就是“(用棍棒、鞭子等)猛抽 , 狠揍”的意思 , 所以例2可以译为:行为稍有不端 , 她就棍棒相加 。接着看例3 , 句中beat既不是例1所说的意思 , 也不是例2的意思 , 此句中beat应是strike (an object) repeatedly so as to make a noise的意思 , 也就是“反复敲打(使发出声音)”例3可以译为:他用手反复敲打桌子 。前三个例子中beat的意思还算可以理解 , 那么咱们看一下第三个例子 , 这里的beat用法就比较少见了 , 你有可能在看美剧 , 或者电影的时候看到过这个意思 , (beat it)(informal)leave《新牛津英汉双解大辞典》比如 , now beat it, will you!.(快走开 , 好不好! 。)所以例4可以译为:出了问题他就溜之大吉/匆匆躲开 。
