使用注意
编辑- 另一種過去式及過去分詞“slayed”基本上用於俚語義“使人感覺良好、高興”：
- Harry Charles Witwer (1929年) Yes Man's Land[3]，第 254 頁:“"Cutey, you slayed me !" grins Jackie, working fast. "I guess that's what made the rest of 'em look so bad — you was so good!"”
- 當然，其他義項也有使用“slayed”，但一般被視為是非標準用法。[1]
- 根據COCA在美國2000年-2009年的調查中，“slayed”的使用普及度正在上升，但仍不如“slew”。BNC的調查則顯示，“slayed”在英國使用一直很少。
- “slain”現在多用於新聞標題，因為比“murdered”短。
近義詞
编辑- (殺)： kill, murder, assassinate
- (擊敗)： conquer, defeat, overcome
- (使人感覺良好、高興)： kill, hit it out of the park
- (發生性關係)： coitize, go to bed with, sleep with
