這個拼法底下其實是2個不同的字,意思沒有關係, 只是長得一樣。下面分開列出來。跳到 row (line) · row (argument)

1

row

n, v

唸法不同同樣的拼法,這個字的唸法跟另一個不一樣。/rəʊ/,跟 go 的母音一樣。

核心畫面

You can think of this row (rhymes with 'go') as 'a straight line of things laid side by side'. People or seats sitting in one neat line; events lined up one after another in time; a street that runs in a line; even the verb 'to row a boat' fits — you pull the oars and the boat travels in a straight line across the water.

可以想成這個 row(發音同 go 的韻)「一條把東西並排擺成的直線」。人或座位排成一條整齊的線;事件在時間上一個接更多收起可以想成這個 row(發音同 go 的韻)「一條把東西並排擺成的直線」。人或座位排成一條整齊的線;事件在時間上一個接一個排成一串;街道沿著一條線延伸;連「划船」這個動詞也合得來——你拉動船槳,船就沿著一條直線在水面上前進。這支 row 全都圍著「沿著一條直線」這個畫面打轉。

A second word, same spelling

2

row

n, v

唸法不同同樣的拼法,這個字的唸法跟另一個不一樣。/raʊ/,跟 now 的母音一樣。

核心畫面

You can think of this row (rhymes with 'now') as 'a loud, angry noise that breaks out between people'. It is a different word from the 'line' row, even spelled the same — picture a heated, noisy quarrel: voices raised, a public fuss, or just an unpleasant going on and on. The verb is doing exactly that — arguing loudly.

可以想成這個 row(發音同 now 的韻)「一陣在人與人之間炸開來的、又吵又氣的聲響」。它跟前面那個「一排」的 r更多收起可以想成這個 row(發音同 now 的韻)「一陣在人與人之間炸開來的、又吵又氣的聲響」。它跟前面那個「一排」的 row 其實是不同的字,只是拼法剛好一樣——畫面是一場大聲又火爆的爭吵:嗓門拉高、當眾鬧開,或者單純就是一陣持續不停的刺耳噪音。動詞就是在做這件事——大聲吵架。
