深入解读
上个月小站先后介绍了 tramp, trump 以及 trample 这三个单词，今天再来聊聊 trumpet 。
Trumpet 一词源自古法语 trompette （小号、喇叭），14世纪末进入英语后也是指“小号、喇叭”。小号又称小喇叭，是一种铜管乐器，常用于古典音乐及爵士乐，是铜管乐器家族中音域最高的乐器之一。要注意区别外观上与之形似的 bugle 指的是军队中用来吹信号的“军号”。
用作名词时， trumpet 除了表示上述含义外，还可以指“（乐队的）小号吹奏者、小号手”，以及引申指“绽开的水仙花”等“喇叭形物”、喇叭声似的“响亮声音”或象等大型动物的“吼声”等，比如：
- 他起立大声疾呼地宣称：“在性别平等的时代这样的政策是站不住脚的。”
He stood up blowing a trumpet declaring, “In an era of sexual equality such policies are untenable.” - 我们高高地站在高原上，可以听见远处大象的吼声。
High up on the plateau, we could hear the elephants trumpeting in the distance.
而用作动词时，除了自然表示用小号或喇叭“吹出”外，还引申指用喇叭声似的声音“大声说出、大声宣告”，比如：
- 当地政府一直积极宣扬旅游业是快速发展型产业，却未能成功征得必要的土地。
The local government has been trumpeting tourism as a growth industry, but it has failed to expropriate the necessary land. - 尽管他们的整个婚姻都是在做戏，但他们的联姻却被宣扬成当年的豪门良缘。
Their marriage was trumpeted as the society wedding of the year, even though their whole marriage had been a charade.
一旦大声宣扬过了头，往往也就成了“吹嘘、鼓吹”这种贬义了，以至于发展出了习语 blow your own trumpet 表示“自吹自擂”，比如：
- 他们极力吹嘘的“一降再降”活动只包括他们所推销的商品的5%。
Their much-trumpeted “low low prices” affect only five percent of the goods that they peddle. - 他真的不太聪明，总是自我吹嘘并挥霍他父母的财产。
He really isn’t very clever but he is always blowing his own trumpet and squandering his parents’ wealth.
外刊例句
- What they are less likely to trumpet is how surprisingly well they are still doing there.
但它们可能不大会嚷嚷自己在那里的业务仍好得出奇。
——《经济学人》 - The Trump administration will, of course, trumpet the deal as a triumph.
当然，特朗普政府会把这个协议吹嘘为它的胜利。
