HEADLONG in Context

"Joseph Mallord William Turner … was less a British artist of the Romantic era than a fiery experimentalist whose audacious work blazed a path from serene Romanticism headlong into the turbulent realm of Modernist art." — The Boston Globe, 22 Apr. 2022

「約瑟夫·馬洛德·威廉·特納……與其說是浪漫主義時代的英國藝術家，不如說是一位火熱的實驗主義者，他的作品開闢了一條從寧靜的浪漫主義直奔現代主義藝術動蕩領域的道路。」

He's impulsive and often rushes headlong into new endeavors, giving little thought to long-term viability.

他很衝動，經常一頭扎進新的事業，很少考慮長期的生存能力。

Did You Know?

Headlong was born out of the Middle English word hedling, a combination of hed ("head") and -ling, an adverb suffix meaning "in such a direction or manner." Thus, hedling meant "with the head first」; it was originally applied to descriptions of falling, or to downward movement. Likely due to the influence of the words along and long, -ling came to be understood as a variant of the adverb suffix -long, a development that carried headlong, as well as sidelong, along with it.

Headlong 起源於中古英語單詞 hedling， hed（「head」）與 -ling （副詞的後綴）的組合，，意思是「in such a direction or manner「以這樣的方向或方式」」。 因此，hedling 的意思是「with the head first「頭在前」」；它最初用於描述跌倒或向下運動。可能由於 along 和 long 這兩個詞的影響，-ling 被理解為副詞後綴的變體 -long，一個突如其來一頭扎進和一頭栽進的。
