lug 作动词,意为"费力地拖、搬运(重物)",强调搬运时的吃力和笨重感。作名词时,可指"凸耳、把手",也可在口语中指"笨拙的人"。
I had to lug my heavy suitcase up three flights of stairs.
我不得不费力地把沉重的行李箱搬上三层楼梯。
She lugged the old wooden chest across the attic, sweating and straining under its weight, before finally setting it down by the window.
她费力地把那只沉重的旧木箱拖过阁楼,累得满头大汗,最后终于把它放在了窗户旁边。
lug 源自中古英语 luggen,可能与斯堪的纳维亚语有关,瑞典语中有 lugga,意为"拉扯头发"。该词最初带有"用力拉拽"的含义,后来逐渐演变为"费力搬运重物"的意思。名词用法中的"凸耳、把手"义项,则来源于搬运时需要抓握的突出部分。
