短释义
We associate the word clamber far more often with toddlers (than Shakespearean tragedy). Toddlers are known for naturally clumsy, ill-coordinated movements we deem cute not foolish. Suitably enough, the word comes from the delightful and long obsolete Middle English word clamb, meaning the past tense of climb, a word that has all the happy logic of a toddler’s imagination.
攀爬就是笨拙地攀爬。据说,《哈姆雷特》中的奥菲莉亚在“泥泞中死去”时,正在爬上一根脆弱的柳树枝。攀爬从来都不是一个好主意,更不用说爬上脆弱的柳枝了。

我们更常将攀爬这个词与幼儿联系起来(而不是莎士比亚的悲剧)。幼儿以天生笨拙、不协调的动作而闻名,我们认为这是可爱而不是愚蠢的。恰如其分的是,这个词源自令人愉快且早已废弃的中古英语单词 clamb,意思是“攀登”的过去式,这个词具有幼儿想象力的所有快乐逻辑。
