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 船首三角帆 · 不肯／打退堂鼓

jib
nOne loose way to hold the noun jib: something that reaches out from the front or side of a bigger structure and hangs there in the open air — a small sail out ahead of the mast, a long arm out ahead of a crane. The two uses are not the same word historically, so treat this as a shelf to put them on, not a family tree.
名詞的 jib 可以先鬆鬆地想成：一樣東西從船身或機身往外伸出去，懸在空中的那一截。船上是主桅前面那面小帆，工地上是吊車往外探出去的長臂。要注意的是，這兩個用法在歷史上並不是同一個字長出來的。所以這個畫面比較像一個放東西的架子，不是一棵家族樹。
A second word, same spelling

jib
vOne way to hold the verb jib: a horse walking along a road that suddenly stops, plants its feet and will not go one step further. Nothing is broken and nobody is shouting — the animal has simply arrived at the point where it stops. That picture is what people borrowed when they started using the word about people.
動詞的 jib 可以想成一匹馬走在路上，突然停住，腳往地上一撐，再也不肯往前一步。沒有壞掉什麼，也沒有人在吵架，只是走到那一點就不走了。後來人把這個畫面借去講人：整件事都好好的，偏偏在某一步停住、不肯再答應。
