Question

grapple v.抓住；扭打；搏斗n.抓钩；扭打；搏斗 (1) 渔夫想抓住顺流漂下的罐子，可是没抓住。(2) 她与袭击者扭打，而她丈夫却逃走了。(3) 他奋力与敌人拼杀。(4) 他长期以来一直努力解决该问题。(5) 用你的抓钩去抓起建筑物品和武器。(6) 敌军在与我军小股部队交战中，几乎可以指望自己不上当。 If you trace the word grapple back to its French roots, you’ll discover that the word originally referred to "a grape hook," a pronged tool used to harvest grapes. If you think about how awkward it would be to harvest grapes, with the individual grapes ready to scatter everywhere, it makes sense that grapple eventually evolved to include a verb form used to describe struggling with something unruly. You might grapple with a budget shortfall, grapple for answers, grapple with a wrestling opponent, or grapple with a new technology.
