Arrested

“Arrested” 最常见义为被执法机关依法拘留,如 “He was arrested for theft.”(他因盗窃被捕。)医学里 “cardiac arrest” 指心脏骤停,动词 arrest 也有“阻止、止住”之义,如 “The bleeding was arrested.”(出血止住了。)

  1. “Police arrested three suspects near the station.” (警方在车站附近逮捕了三名嫌疑人。)
  2. “Her development seemed arrested by chronic illness.” (慢性病似乎让她的发育停滞了。)
  3. “The officer read his rights after he was arrested.” (他被捕后,警官向他宣读权利。)

“Arrest” 来自古法语 arester,源自拉丁语 ad-(向)与 restare(停留),本义为“使停下”,法律义为“使某人无法离开”。

ar-(向)+ rest(停留)+ -ed:名词 arrest(逮捕、骤停)。

新闻常用 “arrested on suspicion of…”;美国 Miranda rights 与 arrested 场景绑定;艺术评论 “arrested development” 比喻停滞成长。

  • 原形: arrest
  • 现在分词: arresting
  • 名词: arrest
  • 固定搭配: “placed under arrest” (被逮捕), “cardiac arrest” (心脏骤停), “arrested development” (发育停滞;喻停滞)

rest 是“停下”,ar- 加强 → arrested 就是“被强行按停住了”(人或进程)。

“Witnesses said the suspect was arrested quietly without a chase.” (目击者说嫌疑人被悄悄逮捕,没有发生追逐。)
