Mustering

“Mustering” 可指召集人员或资源,如 mustering the team for a briefing(召集团队开会)或 mustering troops(集结部队);也可指努力鼓起某种品质,如 mustering the courage to speak(鼓起勇气开口)。

  1. “The manager is mustering support for the new policy across departments.” (经理正在各部门为新政策争取支持。)

“Muster” 源自拉丁语 monstrare(展示),经古法语 mostrer 进入英语;军队集结时需“点名展示”人员在册,故引申为召集、集合。

“-ing” 表示正在召集或鼓足的过程;muster 亦可作名词(集合、点名检阅)。

军事与应急语境中 “mustering” 很常见;日常用语 muster up courage/energy 强调从无到有地攒足力量。

  • 固定搭配: “mustering courage” (鼓起勇气), “mustering troops” (集结部队)

“muster(点名集合)+ ing”:把分散的人或力量“聚拢到位”——mustering 就是正在召集、鼓起。
