用法讲解

v. (动词)
  1. strain的基本意思是“拉紧”,强调过度使用、过于操劳、过于用力致使身体的某部分肌肉、器官损伤,可特指肌肉或韧带拉伤。引申指“竭尽全力…,努力…”。
  2. strain既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。用作及物动词时,可接名词或代词作宾语。
  3. strain接介词at表示“拉紧”; 接for或after表示“使劲”。
  2. strain与stress的区别：过度紧张（strain）是由stress（压力）产生的结果，而压力stress是相邻的物体或部分之间的相互作用，由此可导致物体形态或尺寸的改变；
  3. strain同sprain的比较：sprain（扭伤）是指脚踝或手腕瞬间扭伤的结果，而strain是肌肉用力过强或过久所导致的结果。
