Middle English foundren [to sink to the ground]
中古英語 foundren [昏倒在地]
from Old French fondrer
源自 古法語 fondrer
from Vulgar Latin *funder3re

The verbsfounder and flounder are often confused. Founder comes from a Latin word meaning .bottom. (as infoundation ) and originally referred to knocking enemies down;it is now used as well to mean .to fail utterly, collapse.. Flounder means .to move clumsily, thrash about,.and hence .to proceed in confusion..If John isfoundering in Chemistry , he had better drop the course; if he isfloundering, he may yet pull through.
動詞founder 和 flounder 常被混淆。 Founder 從拉丁語演變而來， 意為.底部.（如在foundation 中）， 原指將敵人打倒在地；現(xiàn)在亦指.完全失敗，崩潰.。 Flounder 指.掙扎，踉蹌.，并由此引申出.在困惑中進行.的意思。如果說約翰在化學中失敗， 他最好放棄這門功課； 如果他正在掙扎中， 他可能還能通過這門課
