吞 🔊

网络内容摘要 (Web Content Summary):

吞（拼音：tūn）是常用汉字，最早见于篆文。本义为不嚼或不细嚼就整个咽下，多用于描述吃东西时“大口吞咽”的动作。 “吞” (pinyin: tūn) is a common Chinese character appearing first in ancient seal script. Its original meaning is “to swallow whole,” describing the act of gulping down food without chewing.

字形来源： “吞”为形声字，从“口”，表示与口有关的动作，取“天”作声旁。篆文形态像张大的口，用以表达“吞食”的动作。古人认为吞咽时多仰头，故有“口朝天”之形。 Origin: The character is phono-semantic, with “口” (mouth) indicating relation to the mouth, and “天” for sound. Its ancient form resembles an open mouth, representing the act of swallowing. The association with “heaven” (tiān) reflects the habitual action of tilting one’s head upward when swallowing.

• 引申义： 也常用来比喻 “兼并”、“侵占”，如“吞并”（annex, swallow up (territory/businesses)). Extended meanings: It also figuratively means “to annex” or “to take over,” as in the word “吞并” (to annex).
• 常用词语： 吞咽（to swallow）、吞并（to annex）、吞吐（swallow and spit; throughput）。 Common words: 吞咽 (to swallow), 吞并 (to annex), 吞吐 (to swallow and spit / throughput).
• 易混淆点： “吞”有时与“咽”（swallow）含义接近，但“咽”更常用于吞咽液体或气体，“吞”多用于整个或大块的食物。 Common confusion: “吞” and “咽” are similar (“to swallow”), but “咽” is often for swallowing liquids/gases, while “吞” is used for swallowing things whole or in large pieces.
