| 释义 | 〔mischief〕chever [to happen, come to an end] from Vulgar Latin *capāre [to come to a head] from *capum [head] from Latin caput * see kaput- chever [发生，结束] 源自 俗拉丁语 *capāre [到达紧要关头] 源自 *capum [头] 源自 拉丁语 caput * 参见 kaput- 〔clutch〕Tending to be successful in tense or critical situations:在紧要关头倾向于获胜的：〔balance〕In an undetermined and often critical position:悬而未决；紧要关头：处于未确定的或经常是关键性的位置：〔mayday〕"Mayday, mayday!” comes the international distress signal over the radio,and nobody stops to ask why the first of May is being mentioned at a time of crisis.Mayday, in fact, has nothing to do with the first of May.
