- trample 本词
Trample usually takes a direct object (trample the flowers) and implies careless, forceful stepping that damages or destroys what is stepped on, often plants, crowds, or rights.
trample 通常直接接宾语(trample the flowers),表示用力、不顾后果地踩踏,导致被踩之物受损或被毁,常用于花草、人群或权利等场合。
The dog trampled the freshly planted seedlings in the yard.
那只狗把院子里刚种下的树苗踩坏了。
Both mean to step on something, but the effect differs. Tread is neutral, often used with 'on', for light or careful stepping, with no damage implied. Trample implies careless, forceful stepping that damages what is stepped on, like plants or crowds.
这两个词都表示“踩、踏”的动作,但语气强弱不同:tread 是中性词,指轻轻地走过或踩在某物上,不强调造成损坏;trample 则强调用力踩踏并造成破坏,带有粗暴、不顾后果的意味。这里不比较 tread 作名词表示“轮胎花纹”的用法。
