短释义
We get the word beckon from the Old English gebecnian, meaning “to make a mute sign,” which comes from bēacen, meaning “a sign or beacon.” (Remember that “beacon” is a noun while beckon is a verb). When you beckon to someone, you give them a physical sign to “come here.” Figuratively, an ice cream sundae might beckon you, calling you away from your diet.
招手是用肢体动作将某人叫到你身边。普遍认可的招手手势包括弯曲手指或点头邀请某人过来。

长释义

When you beckon to someone, you give them a physical sign to “come here.” Figuratively, an ice cream sundae might beckon you, calling you away from your diet.
我们从古英语 gebecnian 中得到“beckon”这个词,意思是“做一个无声的标志”,它来自 bēacen,意思是“标志或灯塔”。 (请记住,“beacon”是一个名词,而“beckon”是一个动词)。当你向某人招手时,你是在向他们做出“过来”的手势。打个比方,冰淇淋圣代可能会向你招手,让你远离节食。
