短释义
Although scorch usually refers to burning something (whether it’s the sun or a blowtorch doing the burning), that’s not always the case. An army can scorch an enemy territory — meaning raze everything in sight, without technically setting it on fire. Scorch can also mean to quickly overpower something or somebody, as in: “We’re gonna scorch the other team tomorrow.”
要烧焦的是要猛烈地燃烧某些东西,以至于其表面(您的脸,草原草,烤架上的牛排)的角度或以其他方式改变颜色。

词源
scorch(v.)”to burn superficially or slightly, but so as to change the color or injure the texture,” early 14c., scorchen, perhaps an alteration of scorcnen “make dry, parch; become singed” (late 12c.), itself a word of obscure origin, perhaps from Old Norse skorpna “to be shriveled,” which is cognate with Old English scrimman “to shrink, dry up.”
The old derivation is from Old French escorchier “to strip off the skin,” from Vulgar Latin *excorticare “to flay,” from ex- (see ex-) + Latin cortex (genitive corticis) “cork;” but OED and Century Dictionary find this not likely based on the sense difference. That word came into English separately as scorchen “strip the skin from” (mid-15c.).
Scorched earth military strategy is by 1937, said to be a translation of Chinese jiaotu, in reference to tactics to stem the Japanese advance into China. The tactics themselves are much older.also from early 14c.
