這個拼法底下其實是2個不同的字,意思沒有關係, 只是長得一樣。下面分開列出來。跳到 bowl (lawn bowls) · bowl (dish)

1

bowl

n, v

Sending a heavy ball rolling smoothly along the ground — and the games built around that roll.

可以想成把一顆重重的球往地上一送,讓它平穩地滾出去。這一支跟「碗」其實是兩個不同來源的字(這個來自法語 boule,球),核心畫面比較像「滾動的球」以及圍繞這個滾動發展出來的運動。

From the word’s history

From French 'boule', a ball — the rolling-ball sense, unrelated to the dish 'bowl'.

來自法語 boule,意思是「球」;跟表示碗的 bowl 沒有關係,只是同形而已。核心比較像一顆會滾的球。

Online Etymology Dictionary (etymonline.com), 'bowl (n.2)' / 'bowl (v.)'

A second word, same spelling

2

bowl

n

A round, open, deep dish you cradle in your hands — the curved hollow that holds soup or fruit.

可以想成一個圓圓的、開口朝上的深盤子,雙手捧得住,中間是一塊凹下去的弧形空間,用來盛湯、盛水果。這個「圓而凹、能裝東西」的畫面,是這一支所有意思的源頭。

From the word’s history

From Old English 'bolla', a round pot or cup — the dish sense; a different word from the rolling 'bowl' (French 'boule', a ball).

來自古英語 bolla,本義就是圓形的罐或杯,也就是「碗」這一支;它與表示滾球的 bowl(源自法語 boule,球)其實是不同來源、只是恰好拼成同一個樣子的兩個字。
