技术宅们读这本书的时候会觉得很有趣;但我们这些人如在稀薄的空气中挣扎,遇到令人困难重重的术语和缩写字符,因为它们像鸟食一样散在书中"Several times, just when we think we know how Unsettled Ground will unfold, Fuller pulls the rug out from under us, leaving us, too, floundering to find our footing." — Marcia Kaye, The Toronto Star, 22 May 2021。
“有几次,就在我们认为我们知道Unsettled Ground将如何展开时,富勒就从我们身底抽走了地毯,让我们挣扎着、找寻立足点Did You Know?Flounder is a relatively common verb that current evidence dates to the late 16th century, when it was likely born by means of an alteration of an older verb, founder. The two have been confused ever since. Today, founder is most often used as a synonym of fail, or, in the case of a waterborne vessel, as a word meaning "to fill with water and sink." Formerly, it was also frequently applied when a horse stumbled badly and was unable to keep walking. Its likely this sense of founder led to the original and now-obsolete meaning of flounder: "to stumble." In modern use, flounder typically means "to struggle" or "to act clumsily"; the word lacks the finality of founder, which usually denotes complete collapse or failure, as that of a sunken ship.。
Flounder是较常见的动词,目前的证据可以追溯到 16 世纪后期,当时它很可能是通过改变旧动词 founder 诞生的 从那以后就一直困惑着 今天,founder 最常被用作 fail 的同义词,或者,是(漂)在水中的船,用作一个表“ to fill with water and sink「装满水并下沉」”的词。
以前,它也经常用于马摔伤严重无法继续行走的状况很可能正是这个意思导致了 flounder 最初的意思:“to stumble 「蹒跚而行」”,这个意思现在已经过时了 在现代用法中,flounder 通常意味着“ to stumble「挣扎」”或“to act clumsily「笨拙地行动」”; 最终这个词 founder (表如沉船般完全的崩溃或完全的失败)不需要了。
