1. probably imitative of the sound of striking.
2. 以及模拟鸟拍动翅膀的声音。
3. and something that hangs down that can swing to make flap noise.
4. 对比三个拟声词:clap, slap, flap. 他们都是对拍打、拍击的声音惊醒模拟,这也就是为什么三个词的末尾同为-lap, 因为它们模拟的是同一类动作产生的声音。
5. 首先,clap 模拟的是手掌相互拍击的声音,很显然这类声音非常的清脆响亮,所以使用了c -> /k/ 音,其次,slap 模拟的扇耳光的声音,这个声音相对于 clap 而言要尖锐一些,所以使用了s -> /s/ 音, 最后,flap 则模拟的是翅膀拍击空气的声音,跟风吹动空气说形成的生意差不多,就像是呼呼的声音,大家知道呼在一些方言里面念(fu), 所以这个单词用f -> /f/ 音来模拟拍打空气的声音是很贴切的。
6. fly + lap (轻拍, 拍打) => flap.
7. 谐音“飞来扑、飞来拍”---飞起来扑打翅膀。
