【引伸】
careen.er
n.（名詞）
The implication of rapidity that most often accompanies the use ofcareen as a verb of motion may have arisen naturally through the extension of the nautical sense of the verb to apply to the motion of automobiles, which generallycareen, that is, lurch or tip over, only when driven at high speed. There is thus no reason to conclude that this use of the verb is the result of a confusion ofcareen with career, .to rush.. Whatever the origin of this use, however,it is by now so well establishedthat it would be pedantic to object to it.
在多數(shù)時候，careen 作為動作動詞使用時具有速度迅捷的含義。把該動詞在航海方面的意思引申，使其義應用于汽車的運行，也許這樣就很自然地產(chǎn)生了迅捷的含義； 因為汽車只有在高速行駛時通常才careen ，即突然地側(cè)傾或偏斜。 據(jù)此，如果下結(jié)論說動詞的這種用法是混淆了careen 和表示.急馳，猛沖的. careen 的結(jié)果，這是毫無道理的。 然而，不論這用法的起源是什么，如今它已得到確認，要對此表示異議的話未免過于迂腐了
