短释义:
Used as a noun, manacle is a synonym for shackle, meaning “a metal chain or band, used to fasten someone’s hands or ankles together.” You’re more likely to see the noun form of this word in its plural form manacles, since — like socks or mittens — a pair is usually required. (Quite unlike socks or mittens, manacles are not at all comfortable or pleasant to wear.) You can say that someone who has been restrained using manacles has been manacled.
如果警察不得不将你的双手反铐在背后,那你就有大麻烦了。这只是一种奇特的说法,表示你已经被戴上了手铐。
长释义:

(Quite unlike socks or mittens, manacles are not at all comfortable or pleasant to wear.) You can say that someone who has been restrained using manacles has been manacled.
作为名词使用时,manacle 是 shackle 的同义词,意思是“金属链或带子,用于将某人的手或脚踝固定在一起”。你更有可能看到这个词的名词形式是复数形式的 manacles,因为像袜子或手套一样,通常需要一双。 (与袜子或手套不同,手铐戴起来一点也不舒服或不舒服。) 你可以说,使用手铐束缚的人已经被戴上了手铐。

In every infant’s cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forged manacles I hear
