HAYWIRE in Context

“Something, I suspect, is going haywire in the frying process, an interaction that leads to those off-putting aromas. Is the oil not hot enough, thereby clinging to the [French toast] sticks and leaving behind the flavors of whatever was fried in it previously? Were they fried too long?” — Tim Carman, The Washington Post, 17 Aug. 2022

“我怀疑在油炸过程中某些东西出了什么问题,这些相互作用导致出现了令人不快的香气。 油不够热,以前炸过的东西的味道粘在[法式吐司]棒上吗? 或者炸得太久了?”

Did You Know?

The noun haywire refers to a type of wire once used in baling hay and sometimes for makeshift repairs. This hurried and temporary use of haywire gave rise to the adjective (and sometimes adverb) haywire. When the adjective was first used in the early 20th century, it was primarily found in the phrase “haywire outfit,” which originally denoted a poorly equipped group of loggers, and then anything that was flimsy or patched together. This led to a “hastily patched-up” sense, which in turn gave us the now-common meaning, “being out of order or having gone wrong.” The “crazy” sense of haywire may have been suggested by the tendency of the relatively weak and rust-prone wire to fail at inopportune times, or to get tangled around legs, or possibly to the disorderly appearance of the temporary repair jobs for which it was used.

名词 haywire 曾指捆稻草,有时也指临时修理的电线。它的这种匆忙的和临时的使用下,出现了形容词(有时是副词)haywire。 这个形容词在 20 世纪初首次使用时,它主要出现在短语 “haywire gear” 中,最初指一群装备简陋的伐木工人,然后是脆弱的或拼凑在一起的东西。 这导致了一种“hastily patched-up 「匆忙修补」”的感觉,反过来又给了我们现在常用的含义, “ being out of order or having gone wrong「出现了故障」”。 The “crazy” sense of haywire 可能是由于相对较弱的且容易生锈的电线不合适时会罢工,容易缠在腿上,或是指杂乱无章的临时维修的工作。
