核心畫面

One way to hold this word: picture the person sitting behind something that . Not the weapon, not the rank, but the pair of hands on it, aiming and letting go. Everything else follows from that seat. Change the thing that and you change the job: a rivet gun instead of a naval gun. Keep only the and you get the people who keep letting go at things: the player who always shoots, the student who always has a hand up.

可以想成坐在一個會發射的東西後面的那個人。重點不是武器本身,也不是軍階,而是那雙負責瞄準、然後放手的手。其他意思都從更多收起可以想成坐在一個會發射的東西後面的那個人。重點不是武器本身,也不是軍階,而是那雙負責瞄準、然後放手的手。其他意思都從這個座位延伸出去。把發射的東西換掉,工作就換了:鉚釘槍不是艦砲。只留下「一直在發射」這個動作,就變成球場上一直出手的人,和教室裡手一直舉著的人。

From the word’s history

The source gives gun plus -er, from Middle English gonner: the person who works the gun.

來源把這個字拆成 gun 加上 -er,來自中古英語 gonner,字面上就是「弄槍砲的那個人」。

From the picture

操作「槍型工具」的人

把座位上那個會發射的東西換成工具,人的名字就跟著搬過去。鉚釘槍形狀像槍、扣下扳機射出的是鉚釘,操作的人也就叫 gunner。

noun · C1

A worker who joins metal with a rivet gun; a riveter. This use belongs to metalworking and building sites.

鉚釘工

球場上一直開火的人

只留下「發射」這個動作,把它搬到球場上。有的是自己一直出手,有的是被球隊像子彈一樣射出去。兩種都還看得出砲手那張圖。

noun · C1

In basketball, a player who shoots a lot and can be relied on to make baskets.

(籃球)敢投又投得進的人

火力全開的人

把「一直在發射、停不下來」搬到讀書和工作上。那個人不是在開砲,是手舉最快、留最晚、什麼都接。

noun · C1

Someone who pushes very hard to get ahead of everyone else. The source marks it as a figurative use, and it reports how other people see that person's ambition rather than describing a job.

拚過頭的人

球隊綽號:兵工廠的人

這一條不是從「操作大砲的人」比喻出來的,而是繞過球隊名字:arsenal 本來就是存放武器的地方,所以這支球隊的人被叫作砲手。

noun · C1

A fan of Arsenal Football Club, or anyone connected with the club as a player, coach or supporter. It is usually written with a capital letter, and the team is called the Gunners.

兵工廠球隊的球員或球迷

noun · B2

A member of the armed forces whose job is to aim and fire a large gun, for example on a ship, a plane, a tank or an artillery position.

砲手;機槍手

noun · C1

In the British army, a soldier in the artillery, the part of the army that uses heavy guns. A wider source adds that it is especially the lowest rank there, and it is used as a title in front of the name: Gunner Smith.

(英國陸軍)砲兵士兵
