Question

grate n.栅；壁炉vt.装格栅于v.磨擦；磨碎；（使）烦恼 (1) 炉栅里的火也已经很微弱了。(2) 老人俯下身子，在壁炉格栅上敲出烟斗里的烟灰。(3) 龌龊的地面上有栅栏。(4) 老师的粉笔在黑板上发出刺耳的摩擦声。(5) 把干酪磨碎撒在西红柿上。(6) 他的口哨声使她心烦。(7) 是她忘恩负义把我惹火了。 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.
