  1. 1

    Maneuver is the American spelling of manoeuvre. As a noun it is a planned movement — a ship, a car, or an army changing position with care — and it is also a clever move in a game, a meeting, or , the kind that gets you what you want without saying so straight. As a verb it means to make that movement, or to steer someone or something into place. It can sound neutral (“She maneuvered into the parking space”) or a little suspicious (“a political maneuver”). British spelling keeps the extra : manoeuvre, manoeuvred. The word began as work done by hand.

    美式拼法，即 manoeuvre。操縱、調動；也指策略手段、軍事演習。
