強風、大風
You can hold gale as one rush of air that arrives all at once, pushes hard at everything in its way, and then passes. It is not a gentle steady breeze and not a long violent storm; it is a big shove of wind you have to lean into. Both uses on this page keep that shape — something sweeps through, everyone feels it, and then it is over.
The packet's Wiktionary etymology gives Middle English gale, a wind or breeze, and adds that it may be linked to Old Norse gala, to sing or cry — but the source itself hedges that link with possibly.
來源的字源說明是:gale 來自中古英語表示「風、微風」的 gale,並且提到它可能跟古北歐語的 gala(唱、叫)有關。這條連結來源自己也只寫「可能」,所以當線索看就好,不要當定論。
