1、它的老根写作"推、紧压":往人身上压就是威胁。固定说法:make a threat、a threat to sb/sth、under threat 受威胁、a threat of rain 眼看要下雨。
2、同一个"推"打包几个:threaten 动词威胁、thrust 猛推、intrude 闯入、extrude 挤出(这几处都同出一根)。
3、拼写易错:threat 中间是 th-r-e-a-t,别写成 thret;变动词直接加 -en 成 threaten,threat 里的 e 不动。th 要咬舌。

英语词源

threat
threat: [OE] Threat originally meant ‘trouble, oppression’; ‘expression of an intention to do harm’ is a secondary sense, which arose out of the notion of ‘putting pressure’ on someone. It came from a prehistoric base *thraut-, *threut-, *thrut-, which probably went back to Indo- European *trud- ‘push, press’ (source also of Latin trūdere ‘thrust’, from which English gets abstruse, intrude, etc, and probably also of English thrust).
=> abstruse, intrude
threat (n.)
Old English þreat "crowd, troop," also "oppression, coercion, menace," related to þreotan "to trouble, weary," from Proto-Germanic *thrautam (cognates: Dutch verdrieten, German verdrießen "to vex"), from PIE *treud- "to push, press squeeze" (cognates: Latin trudere "to press, thrust," Old Church Slavonic trudu "oppression," Middle Irish trott "quarrel, conflict," Middle Welsh cythrud "torture, torment, afflict"). Sense of "conditional declaration of hostile intention" was in Old English.
