| 背面 |     释义： 1. de- "down" + -tain.2. => hold sb/sth down, keep sb/sth down.3.也就是咱们常说的：留住，留下来；因此这里使用表示“down”的词根也就再正常不过了。4. 咱们常说把某人留下来，也就是将其留住嘛！5. 或者：de- "off, away" + -tain.6. => hold off, keep off, keep away, keep back(留在原地).7. 似乎后一种解释更合理一些。vt. 拘留；留住；耽搁 例句： 1. He caught her arm in a subconscious attempt to detain her.他下意识地抓住她的胳膊想挽留她。 detain 扣押de-, 向下，强调。-tain, 抓，握，词源同contain, tenure. 即扣下，扣押。 detain (v.)early 15c., deteynen, from Old French detenir "to hold off, keep back" (12c.), from Latin detinere "hold off, keep back," from de- "from, away" (see de-) + tenere "to hold" (see tenet). Modern spelling is 17c., from influence of contain, retain, etc. Related: Detained; detaining." |
