- 1鞭打;(魚、身體)劇烈扭動;(比賽)痛宰對手
To hit a person or animal hard, again and again, usually with something like a stick or a belt. This is an old, serious word — it makes people think of punishment, not a light slap. Thrash also means to move in a wild, way, like a fish thrashing when you pull it out of water, or someone thrashing in bed because they cannot sleep. And in informal British and Australian English, if you thrash another team, you beat them very badly in a game (we thrashed them 6 to 0). One more useful phrase: to thrash something out means to talk about a problem for a long time, going back and forth, until everyone agrees on an answer.
組成This word comes from an old English word that also gave us thresh — the old farm job of beating grain with a stick to separate the seeds from the plant. Thrash and thresh used to be the same word.
