n.(名词)
flam.mable
n.(名词)
Historically,flammable and inflammable mean the same thing. However, the presence of the prefixin- has misled many people into assuming that inflammable means .not flammable. or .noncombustible.. In the circumstances,it is therefore advisable to use onlyflammable in contexts imparting warnings or on product labels, where a misinterpretation might have more serious consequences for the reader than an etymological mistake would deserve.
历史上,flammableinflammable 的意思是一样的。 然而,前缀in- 的存在误导了许多人,使他们以为 inflammable 意思为.不可燃的.或.不易燃烧的.。 基于此情况,在发出警告或制作标签时,建议只用flammable ,因为解释的错误可能比词源学的错误带来的后果更严重
