muffle
英 ['m?f(?)l]
美 ['m?fl]
- vt. 蒙??；裹??；抑制；發(fā)低沉的聲音
- n. 低沉的聲音；消聲器；包裹物（如頭巾，圍巾等）；唇鼻部
助記提示
1. 音：麻縛，麻覆，用麻布包裹起來(lái)；
2. muffle 音“馬蜂”→用頭巾裹住頭躲避馬蜂
3. 馬弗爐是英文Muffle furnace翻譯過(guò)來(lái)的。Muffle是包裹的意思，furnace是爐子，熔爐的意思。馬弗爐在中國(guó)的通用叫法有以下幾種：電爐、電阻爐、茂福爐、馬福爐。馬弗爐是一種通用的加熱設(shè)備，依據(jù)外觀形狀可分為箱式爐、管式爐、坩堝爐。
4. 馬弗爐(muffle furnace)的通常有一層厚厚的耐火層和保溫層。本來(lái)馬弗爐是燒氣的，燃燒部分和方形爐膛部分是分開(kāi)的，這種分開(kāi)或隔焰結(jié)構(gòu)，及其悶的嚴(yán)嚴(yán)實(shí)實(shí)的爐腔，這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)叫muffle，所以叫馬弗爐。后來(lái)雖改為電加熱，但始終保留了這個(gè)名字。
