英语词汇hail, hale的意思、翻译、用法及例句-英语用法大全

词组	hail, hale
释义	hail, hale Confusion about which of these spellings should be used in a particular context one would expect to be common, but we have relatively little evidence of it in our files. Perhaps proofreaders and copy editors have especially sharp eyes when it comes to hail and hale. Even so, it seems worthwhile to point out possible areas of confusion. The spelling hale is the established choice for the verb meaning "to compel to go": • ... he was haled before a summary court —Hugh Trevor-Roper, American Scholar, Winter 1981/82 Usage commentators find that this verb is often mistakenly spelled hail. We've collected only two examples of this error, the most recent of which is from 1949: • ... Albania was challenging Great Britain's competence to hail it before the International Court of Justice —Collier's Year Book, 1949 Hale is also the spelling used for the adjective meaning "healthy": • ... a tall, hale blond of thirty —Sara Davidson, Harper's, June 1972 In this case we have collected three errors within the last 15 years, so the problem may be greater: • ... most young Israelis... are tough, confident, hail-and-hearty —The Economist, 26 July 1985 The spelling hail is correctly used for the noun and verb relating to icy lumps of precipitation and for the verb meaning "greet" or "acclaim." It also occurs in the idiom "hail from": • They hail from any number of Western states — Gary Schmitz, Denver Post, 31 Aug. 1984 And in the term hail-fellow-well-met: • ... a fun guy, a genuine hail-fellow-well-met —William Taaffe, Sports Illustrated, 10 Mar. 1986
