066 burglarize
英音['bɜ:glə,raiz];美音['bəɡlə,raiz]
To commit a burglary, enter and rob a dwelling
v.闯入……盗窃
同义rob, plunder反义guard名词burglar
解析:burglarize来源于拉丁文burgle(盗窃)+-ar-(人,后缀)+-ize(使,后缀),其字面意思为使成为窃贼,只要“入室盗窃”就会成为窃贼。
rob指通过暴力、威胁等手段抢夺他人财物。例如:The two brothers knocked him down and robbed him of his gold watch.(兄弟俩把他打倒在地并抢走了他的金表。)
plunder指在作战或内乱时的“抢夺、掠夺”。例如:The allied forces chose to plunder and kill in the city.(联军选择在城市里劫掠和杀戮。)
burglarize指入室盗窃。例如:The man was caught burglarizing a house by a policeman.(正要入室行窃的那个家伙被警察抓个正着。)
