| 释义 | draught —draughter, n. /draft, drahft/, n. 1. draughts, (used with a sing. v.) Brit. the game of checkers. 2. Chiefly Brit. draft (defs. 1, 3-10, 18-25, 28). v.t. 3. Chiefly Brit. draft (defs. 29-33). v.i. 4. Chiefly Brit. draft (def. 34). adj. 5. Chiefly Brit. draft (defs. 36-38). [1150-1200; ME draht (c. D dracht, G Tracht, ON drattr); akin to OE dragan to DRAW, droht a pull (at the oars)] Pronunciation. DRAUGHT is a variant spelling of draft and is normally pronounced the same way, as /draft/ or /drahft/ or with a vowel somewhere between /a/ and /ah/. A pronunciation /drawt/ is sometimes heard for DRAUGHT, perhaps because -aught is frequently pronounced /-awt/ elsewhere, as in caught and taught. |
