unfurl

unfurl是英語中兼具及物與不及物用法的動詞，核心語義為“展開”或“公開”。作為及物動詞時，多指展開旗幟、帆等實物；作為不及物動詞時，可描述事件、場景等的逐步呈現。

該詞既可用於具體物體的展開（如unfurl a flag展旗、unfurl sail揚帆），也可用於抽象概念的鋪展（如故事發展、歷史進程）。其短語搭配常涉及航海與旗幟展示，文學語境中可作比喻性表達，如謊言顯露。構詞上融合前綴“un-”（表反向）與“furl”（捲起），形成“展開”的反向動作。

該詞自中古英語時期演變而來，近現代廣泛套用於航海、文學及日常領域。作為英語固有辭彙，其形態變化包括unfurled（過去式）、unfurling（現在分詞）、unfurls（第三人稱單數），近義詞包含unfold、unravel，反義詞則有roll up等。
