短释义
The verb grate entered the English language in the fourteenth century by way of the French word grater, meaning “to scrape.” Using grate in this sense, you might grate your teeth or grate a carrot, meaning rub or pulverize. By the sixteenth century the word had taken on the additional meaning of “sound harshly” and “annoy.” This evolution makes sense if you think about it: If you’ve ever had anything really annoy you — “grate on your nerves” — it can almost seem as if a cheese grater has been applied to your nerves and is slowly ripping them to shreds.
当你磨碎某样东西时,你会把它撕成碎片,就像你把一磅固体奶酪撕碎作为食谱一样。

长释义

动词“grate”在十四世纪通过法语单词“grater”进入英语,意思是“刮擦”。在这个意义上使用“grate”,您可能会磨碎牙齿或磨碎胡萝卜,意思是摩擦或粉碎。到了十六世纪,这个词已经有了“声音刺耳”和“烦人”的附加含义。如果你仔细想想,这种演变是有道理的:如果你曾经遇到过任何真正让你烦恼的事情——“刺痛你的神经”——它几乎就像一个奶酪刨丝器被施加到你的神经上,正在慢慢地将它们撕成碎片。 。
