| 解释 | v.弄直；放松 |
| 红宝书 | 【英】 v. 弄直( become straight);放松( behave in a less formal and severe manner) 【记】 un（不）+bend（弯曲 ） |
| 字源 | unbend (v.) mid-13c., "relax a bow by unstringing it," from un- (2) "reverse, opposite of" + bend (v.). Intransitive sense from 1746. Figurative meaning "to become genial, relax" (1748) has a sense opposite to that of unbending "inflexible, obstinate" (1680s), which does not derive from the bow-stringing image. |
