读音：bellow /bɪ'ləʊ/

词义：怒吼，吆喝

词性：动词，名词

级别：GRE

出处：源自原始印欧拟声词根 bhel (轰鸣，吼叫)，最早只用来描写公牛的低沉嘶吼；大约1600年之后，才引申用来描写人怒吼咆哮。名词词性出现较晚，1763年才被记录。

词义

bellow 为书面文学用语，口语不推荐。

The Dragon King of the Eastern Sea bellowed threats amid storm‑clouds.东海龙王在乌云之中厉声怒吼，放出狠话。“Keep quiet!” the teacher bellowed across the crowdedroom.“安静！”老师在拥挤教室的另一头高声吼道。We could hear the sergeant bellowing orders to his exhausted troops.我们听得见中士向着疲惫的士兵大声下达命令。The bull bellowed in agony when it was struck by the iron bar.公牛被铁棒击中，痛苦地发出低沉咆哮。

Merely bellowing will never settle this fierce argument.仅仅靠大吼大叫，永远解决不了这场激烈的争执。

作名词时，bellow 还可以指风箱 (常用复数)，但词源学家指出这两个词义虽属于同一印欧词根，但不同演变分支，拼写相同纯属巧合。

From the thunder and lightning came a stern voice.“General Li, surrender your son to me immediately!I will have revenge for my son,” the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea bellowed.“Your Majesty, my son is young and does not know the ways of the world.Please forgive him,” pleaded Li Jing.“Elder brother, don’t listen to him. Let’s show him what we are made of!” With that, they opened the heavens together and torrential rain poured out of the sky ontothe Chentang Pass region.

雷鸣电雾之中传来一道严厉的声音。“李将军，立刻把你的儿子交出来！我要为我的儿子报仇！”东海龙王怒吼道。“大王，犬子年纪尚幼，不懂世事。还请您饶恕他。”李靖恳求道。“大哥，别听他的花言巧语！让他见识见识我们的厉害！”话音刚落，众龙一同掀开天幕，瓢泼大雨从天而降，倾泻在陈塘关一带。
