Question

meddle v.干涉 (1) 别干预我的事情。(2) 不要乱动工具。(3) 他总喜欢干涉别人的事。 Meddle started out in the late 1400’s meaning “to mingle,” then it became a pain when it began to be used to mean “interfere,” which is how we use it now. For a little while there it also meant to be, um, romantic with someone, but it’s not used that way today. Meddle is what little sisters do, always getting in the middle of your business.
