strain这个单词意思极多。字典里面的意思也基本上都见过了,下面我来总结一下:
名词:1,表示压力,拉力,其意义可抽象,可具体。

stresses and strains

2,拉伤,如肌肉的拉伤 a leg strain腿部拉伤
3,重压出现的问题或担忧 The transport service cannot cope with the strain of so many additional passengers.
4,动、植物的)系,品系,品种;(疾病的)类型
a new strain of mosqiotoes resistant to the posion
5,个
性特点,禀性He had a definite strain of snobbery in him.
6,乐曲,曲调,旋律He could hear the strains of Mozart through the window.
做动词时基本跟名词的时是一样的:
1,to strain a muscle拉伤肌肉
2,I strained my ears(= listened very hard)to catch what they were saying.

3,strain every nerve to do sth.竭尽全力做某事
4,过滤Strain off any excess liquid. 滤掉多余的液体。

注意这里filter和strain在都作动词的时候是同义词,但是接的介词是不一样的
5,I wouldn't let my best guests strain her eyes.可不能让贵客眼睛疲劳。(这个是在老友记第六季第18集的Monica对Phoebe说的一句话)
