普雷一阶段怪物
Word of the Day：August 17, 2022
wreak
造成（巨大的破坏或伤害）
verb /REEK/ [rik]
What It Means
Wreak means "to bring about or cause (something that is harmful or damaging)." It is often used in the phrase "wreak havoc."
Wreak 的意思是“导致（有害或破坏性的事情）”。 它经常用在短语“wreak havoc「造成破坏」”中。
WREAK in Context
"[Rats] rustle around in trash cans and take up residence in sewers, which feeds the false impression that they are fundamentally dirty creatures. Worse still, they invade homes and other indoor spaces. Squirrels do this too—given the opportunity, they'll wreak havoc in your attic—but not as frequently." — Jacob Stern, The Atlantic, 8 July 2022
“[老鼠] 在垃圾桶里窸窣窣窣，居住在下水道里，这使得它们有了肮脏的错误印象。更糟糕的是，它们侵入房屋和进入其他房间。松鼠也会这样——只要有机会，它们就会对你的阁楼造成严重破坏——但这不会频繁发生。”
The trip involved crossing several time zones, which wreaked havoc on my sleep routine for a few days.
这次旅行涉及跨越多个时区，对我这几天的睡眠造成了严重影响。
Did You Know?
In its early days, wreak was synonymous with avenge, a meaning exemplified when Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus proclaims "We will solicit heaven, and move the gods / To send down Justice for to wreak our wrongs." This sense is now archaic, but the association hasn't been lost: although wreak is today most often paired with havoc, it is also still sometimes paired with vengeance. We humbly suggest you avoid wreaking either, no matter how badly you may crave your just deserts.
早期的 wreak 是 avenge 同义词，在莎士比亚的 Titus Andronicus 中体现了它的含义 “We will solicit heaven, and move the gods / To send down Justice for to wreak our wrongs「我们将祈求天堂，并感动众神，对我们造成的错误下达正义。」”。 这个含义现在已经过时了，但这种联系并没有消失：虽然今天最常与 havoc 组合，但有时也与 vengeance 组合。 We humbly suggest you avoid wreaking either, no matter how badly you may crave your just deserts。
