壓在人身上的情況
那隻不鬆開的手是天氣、工作、聲音這類東西,人只能待在裡面。
adjective · C1
Used about something unpleasant that goes on and on for a long time and never eases off, so there is no break from it.
不停歇的
You can think of unrelenting as a hand that will not open. To relent is to your hold; un- takes that away, so nothing is ever let go of, not even for a second. The word is not really about how strong the grip is — it is about the fact that no gap ever appears in it, which is why the things it describes are so .
Wiktionary gives the word as un- + relenting, so the negative is doing all the work: not loosening, not giving way.
來源資料把這個字拆成 un- 加 relenting,意思全靠那個否定:不放軟、不讓步,也就是不鬆手。
