    词源词根法
    大家有没有发现英语单词muscle（肌肉）和mouse（老鼠）长得有点像？其实这两个单词还真有渊源。英语单词muscle来自拉丁语musculus，是mus（老鼠）的指小形式，其实就是“小老鼠”的意思。之所以有这种说法是因为古罗马人觉得人体中的肌肉很像一只一只小老鼠。无独有偶，希腊语和德语中，“肌肉”和“老鼠”就是同一个词，阿拉伯语中的“肌肉”和“老鼠”的拼写也很接近。=muscle['m?s(?)l]n肌肉vt.加强，使劲搬动，使劲挤出vi.使劲行进来自拉丁语musculus，小老鼠，肌肉，来自mus，老鼠，词源同mouse，-cul，小词后缀。因古人认为鼓起的肌肉形如跳跃的小老鼠而得名。

    小知识

    Do you have the muscle to muscle your way to the top? Muscle is both a noun and verb associated with strength, power, or the use of physical force.

    In addition to biological muscle, like the biceps in your arms, muscle can refer simply to power or authority, as in “We have the muscle to get the job done.” Muscle can also refer to a hired thug. In a similar sense, muscle is used as a verb to mean “use force.” A bully might muscle someone out of their lunch money, or you might muscle your way through a crowd by pushing people out of your way.
