短释义：
Judges aren’t the only ones who use gavels. They are common in governments large and small, where they are used to bring order to the often unruly rooms where government happens. But they are also a sign of who’s in charge. The practice of turning control from one party, or one person, to another, is done by “passing the gavel.” It’s a big deal when the outgoing Speaker of the House of Representatives turns over the gavel to the incoming Speaker. Sometimes it looks like the hand-off won’t happen — a gavel being the ultimate sign of authority and power.
你知道法官在试图维持法庭秩序时会用木锤重重地敲在桌子上吗？那是木槌。

法官并不是唯一使用木槌的人。它们在大大小小的政府中都很常见，它们被用来给政府办公的经常不守规矩的房间带来秩序。但它们也是谁负责的标志。将控制权从一方或一个人转移到另一方的做法是通过“传递木槌”来完成的。当即将离任的众议院议长将木槌交给即将上任的议长时，这是一件大事。有时，交接似乎不会发生——木槌是权威和权力的终极标志。
文学例句：
When the hymn was over, the waiters brought coffee and Bull rapped with his gavel once again and announced, “The smoking lamp is lighted.”
当赞美诗结束时，侍者送来了咖啡，布尔再次用木槌敲击并宣布：“冒烟的灯亮了。”
—The Great Santini by Pat Conroy
Judges weren’t born wearing wigs and carrying gavels.
法官并不是生来就戴着假发、拿着木槌的。
—Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi
She’s banging her fist like a gavel on the front desk.

词源：
gavel (n.)”small mallet used by presiding officers at meetings,” 1805, American English, of unknown origin; perhaps connected with German dialectal gaffel “brotherhood, friendly society,” from Middle High German gaffel “society, guild,” related to Old English gafol “tribute,” giefan “to give” (from PIE root *ghabh- “to give or receive”). But in some sources gavel also is identified as a type of mason’s tool, in which case the extended meaning may be via freemasonry. As a verb, by 1887, from the noun. Old English had tabule “wooden hammer struck as a signal for assembly among monks,” an extended sense of table (n.).Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
木槌 (n.)“会议主持官员使用的小木槌”，1805 年，美式英语，来源不明；可能与德语方言 gaffel“兄弟情谊、友好社会”有关，源自中古高地德语 gaffel“社会、公会”，与古英语 gafol“贡品”、giefan“给予”相关（来自 PIE 词根 *ghabh-“给予或接受” ”）。但在某些资料中，木槌也被认为是泥瓦匠工具的一种，在这种情况下，扩展的含义可能是通过共济会。到 1887 年，作为动词，由名词演变而来。古英语有 tabule“敲击木锤作为僧侣集会的信号”，这是 table (n.) 的扩展含义。相关条目及更多
