短释义：
Travail comes to us from a sinister Latin word: trepalium, meaning “instrument of torture.” The closest English word is probably toil, though travail means you’re not just exerting monumental effort but suffering as you do so. If your life has been hard-knock enough to be the stuff of old blues songs or Shakespearean tragedies, you’ve had your share of travails. In French, incidentally, travail simply means “work.” The Spanish trabajo, “work,” is closely related.
如果你是拼尽全力、熬夜、流血、流汗和流泪才走到今天的，你可以说你经历了巨大的痛苦。换句话说，就是令人筋疲力尽的脑力劳动或体力劳动。

Travail 来自一个险恶的拉丁词：trepalium，意思是“酷刑的工具”。最接近的英语单词可能是“toil”，尽管“travail”意味着你不仅付出了巨大的努力，而且在这样做时遭受了痛苦。如果你的生活已经艰难得像古老的布鲁斯歌曲或莎士比亚悲剧一样，那么你也经历过痛苦。顺便说一句，在法语中，“travail”的意思就是“工作”。西班牙语“trabajo”的意思是“工作”，与之密切相关。

词源：
travail (v.)late 13c., travailen, “take pains, suffer pains,” from Old French travailler “to toil, labor,” originally “to trouble, torture, torment,” from Vulgar Latin *tripaliare “to torture,” from *tripalium (in Late Latin trepalium) “instrument of torture,” which is said to be probably from Latin tripalis “having three stakes” (from tria “three;” see three + palus “stake” (from suffixed form of PIE root *pag- “to fasten”), darkly suggestive, but the exact notion is obscure.
In English by mid-14c. specifically as “suffer the pangs of childbirth, be in labor;” in Middle English also “labor in the service of God; work for wages.” Related: Travailed; travailing.Related entries & more
