短释义：
To pronounce catapult, accent the first syllable: “CAT a pult.” Catapult can also be a verb that means “to hurl or shoot forward.” It’s not only objects that catapult. A hit single can catapult a band to great fame, for example, or a high score may catapult you into first place. Just don’t catapult any cats. That would catapult you to notoriety, and probably also to jail.
弹射器是一种将物体抛向空中的东西，就像一年一度的万圣节比赛中用弹射器将南瓜发射出去一样。
长释义：

A hit single can catapult a band to great fame, for example, or a high score may catapult you into first place. Just don’t catapult any cats. That would catapult you to notoriety, and probably also to jail.
要发音弹射器，请重读第一个音节：“CAT a pult”。弹射器也可以是一个动词，意思是“向前投掷或射击”。弹射的不仅仅是物体。例如，一首热门单曲可以使乐队声名鹊起，或者高分可以使您跃居第一。只是不要弹射任何猫。这会让你声名狼藉，甚至可能入狱。

词源：
catapult (n.)1570s, from French catapulte and directly from Latin catapulta “war machine for throwing,” from Greek katapeltēs, from kata “against” in reference to walls, or perhaps “through” in reference to armor (see cata-) + base of pallein “to toss, hurl” (from PIE root *pel- (5) “to thrust, strike, drive”). In ancient times a Roman military engine for throwing huge darts.
Its construction is nowhere explained with any fullness, and it is uncertain whether its action was that of a crossbow or whether springs were the propelling power. By later authors the catapult and ballista seem to be confounded. In the middle ages the name is hardly used, except where a writer is evidently seeking to give a classical form to his composition. [Century Dictionary]

下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
弹射器 (n.)1570s，源自法语弹射器，直接源自拉丁语弹射器“投掷的战争机器”，源自希腊语 katapeltēs，源自 kata“对抗”墙壁，或者可能“穿过”装甲（参见 cata-） + pallein 的基部“投掷、投掷”（源自 PIE 词根 *pel- (5)“推力、打击、驱动”）。古代罗马军用发动机，用于投掷巨大的飞镖。它的结构没有得到任何完整的解释，也不能确定它的作用是弩的作用还是弹簧的推进力。后来的作者似乎混淆了弹射器和弩炮。在中世纪，这个名字几乎不被使用，除非作家显然试图为其作品赋予古典形式。 [世纪词典] 1927 年作为航空母舰上的飞机发射装置。相关条目及更多
