使用注意[编辑]
- The alternative past tense and past participle form "slayed" is most strongly associated with the slang sense, "to delight or overwhelm":
- 1929, Harry Charles Witwer, Yes Man's Land, page 254,
- {{{text}}}
- In recent use, "slayed" is also often found associated with the other senses as well. However, this is widely considered nonstandard.[1]
- A review of US usage 2000-2009 in COCA suggests that "slayed" is increasing in popularity, but remains less common than "slew". It is very rare in UK usage (BNC).
- "Slain"現在多用於新聞標題，因為比"murdered"短。
