<< review queue entry 61635 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> "tension" has seven different senses in this definition: https://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=tension I presume it's sense 2a ~ "force tending to stretch or elongate something" that was intended. But it's a very ambiguous definition, and 拉力 usually doesn't mean that, anyway. "pulling force" is a much better gloss than "tension" in most cases. e.g. "tension" is a confusing gloss in these examples: 可是當地土質較硬，牛隻拉力不足， one ox is not strong enough to break up the hard soil 家屬多半把孩子離家的原因歸咎於外來的「拉力」，較少虛心檢討家庭的「推力」。 many families will blame a child's running away on external forces that "pulled" the child away, yet very few will think seriously about what things in the family were "pushing" the child out. 而很多心急如焚的父母，常以強力介入的手段，試圖一步到位地解決問題。但相關研究卻發現，對正值叛逆期的青少年來說，父母的強勢態度，常會與網路上的同儕拉力形成交互作用，意即父母越嚴厲阻止，反而越讓孩子覺得只有網路上的朋友了解自己，更可能適得其反地往虛擬世界靠攏。 Many impatient parents try to interfere by force, trying to get their children to go cold turkey. But research indicates that teens, being in their rebellious phase, are likely to take such forceful interference badly, becoming more convinced that their friends online are the ones that really understand them, and thus the harder the parents try, the more the children may throw themselves into the depths of the virtual world. -------------------------------- LA ~ 1. 牽引、拉拖的力量。例 「牽引機的拉力大，才能拉得動大型貨車」。 2. 物體所能承受的牽引力量。例 「這種布料怎麼撕也撕不破，拉力真的很強」。 I see that as 1. pulling force 2. tensile strength LA doesn't mention the quite common figurative meaning, though. See the TP usage below: 唯有真正解決高雄的環境污染問題，塑造城市的特色，才能產生實質的『都市拉力』。」這是王俊秀給高雄的提醒與建議。 "Only solving the pollution problem and creating a special city character will produce real 'city charm.'" 外遇說穿了就是家裡的「推力」和外面的「拉力」間的對決。 Extramarital affairs are fueled by a push from within the family and a pull from without. 眼前投資環境惡化是推力，但新的拉力在哪裡？ The deteriorating investment environment just now is a disincentive, but where are the new incentives? 「1978年北部濱海公路通車後，都市就業的拉力大，吸引很多貢寮年輕人到台北工作，」 "The draw of urban employment grew after the North Coast Highway opened in 1978, attracting many young Gong-liao residents to Tai-pei for jobs," |
