| 词组 | grill, grille |
| 释义 | grill, grille The word for a cooking surface that resembles a grating is spelled grill; the word for a grating that forms a barrier or screen, such as on the front end of an automobile, is spelled either grille or grill. Copperud 1980 feels that grille is "somewhat pretentious," but our evidence suggests that its use is not at all uncommon: • A properly designed air dam under the grille —Playboy, April 1982 • ... semis that park their grilles right in your rearview mirror like giant menacing grins —Lesley Jane Non-kin, Vogue, November 1985 The Oxford American Dictionary warns against confusion of grille with grill, by which it apparently means the use of grille when referring to the cooking surface. We have no evidence of such usage in print, though one will doubtless see it from time to time in the name of a restaurant or some similar place. |
