Secured
“Secured” 来自 secure(使安全、固定、获得)。可指物理固定(The ladder was secured to the wall),获得资源或职位(secured funding),或安保、加密(data secured with encryption)。
- “They secured a loan to expand the factory.” (他们获得贷款以扩建工厂。)
- “Make sure the cargo is secured before the truck leaves.” (卡车出发前务必把货物固定牢。)
- “The account is secured with two-factor authentication.” (该账户已启用双重验证保护。)
se-(离开、加强)+ cur-(关心、照顾)来自拉丁语 securus(无忧的、安全的),-ed 表完成状态。
secure + -ed 构成过去式/过去分词;名词 security、securities(证券)同源派生。
金融报道 secured debt(有担保债务)与 unsecured 相对;IT 领域 secured connection 指 HTTPS 等加密连接;日常 job secured 表示“工作有着落了”。
- 固定搭配: “secured loan” (抵押贷款), “secured position” (稳固职位), “fully secured” (已完全固定/保护)
联想 secure(安全)+ -ed:已经“锁好、搞定”的状态就是 secured。
