短释义
Rubble rhymes with “bubble,” but when a bubble bursts, it just dissolves into liquid, while rubble is piles of rock, concrete, brick, and other remains that are a very physical reminder of destruction. Rock slides create rubble from rocks, and natural disasters and explosions create rubble from buildings, cars, and trees. Unfortunately, rubble is usually heavy and can trap people or things beneath it, as when bodies are found in the rubble of a fire or earthquake.
物体破裂或倒塌后留下的一堆碎屑就是瓦砾。著名的瓦砾场景包括 9 月 11 日倒塌的双子塔和 2010 年地震后海地首都的废墟。

瓦砾与“泡沫”押韵,但当泡沫破裂时,它只是溶解成液体,而瓦砾是一堆岩石、混凝土、砖块和其他残留物,它们是破坏的物理提醒。岩石滑坡会从岩石中产生碎石,自然灾害和爆炸会从建筑物、汽车和树木中产生碎石。不幸的是,瓦砾通常很重,可能会将人或物体困在下面,就像在火灾或地震的瓦砾中发现尸体一样。

词源
rubble (n.)”rough, irregular stones broken from larger masses,” especially “waste fragments from the demolition of a building, etc.,” late 14c., robeyl, from Anglo-French *robel “bits of broken stone,” which is of obscure origin, apparently related to rubbish “waste fragments” [OED], but also possibly from Old French robe (see rob).

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
rubble (n.)“从较大块上破碎的粗糙的、不规则的石头”,尤其是“拆除建筑物等产生的废物碎片”,14世纪末,robeyl,来自英法*robel“碎石块”,它的起源不明,显然与垃圾“废物碎片”[OED]有关,但也可能来自古法式长袍(参见 rob)。中古英语纲要比较盎格鲁拉丁语 rubisum、robusium。相关条目及更多
