frap(动词):用绳索等把物体紧紧捆扎/勒紧并固定(常见于航海或绳结语境);也可指把松散的结构加固。(另有较少见用法:因寒冷或恐惧而颤抖,但不如前者常用。)
/fræp/

她用绳子把那捆东西勒紧捆牢,免得散开。
In rough seas, the crew frapped extra lines around the barrels to keep them from shifting as the ship rolled.
海况很差时,船员在桶外又加绑了几道绳索,防止船体摇晃时桶滚动移位。
frap 多用于航海英语,源自法语 frapper(意为“击打、敲击;使固定/扣牢”),后在绳索与船具语境中引申为“用绳索勒紧并加固”。
