喜樂美語
  1. 1v/wed/結婚

    正式To marry someone. This word is used mostly in newspapers, stories, and other writing, not in everyday talking.

    「wed」的意思跟 marry 一樣，都是「結婚」，差別在它住的地方：報紙標題、故事、婚禮致詞裡很常看到 wed，平常聊天大家還是說 get married。報紙特別愛用它，因為它只有三個字母，一個字就塞得進標題（Two Runners to Wed in June）。它的畫面可以想成「把自己許出去、跟另一個人綁在一起」，這個味道也留在 wedding、wedded bliss 這些字裡面。

From the word’s history

From Old English weddian 'to pledge; wed'; related to gage, engage and wage.

源自古英文 weddian「立誓、結婚」，和 wage、engage 有關。

Wiktionary

Picture the same event as marry — two people becoming husband and wife — but seen through a newspaper headline rather than heard in conversation. The meaning is ordinary; what is unusual is where the word lives.

可以想成：和 marry 是同一件事——兩個人結為夫妻——只是這個字出現在報紙標題上，而不是出現在聊天裡。意思本身很普通，特別的是它待的地方。
