muffle
英 ['m?f(?)l]
美 ['m?fl]
- vt. 蒙住；裹住；抑制；發低沉的聲音
- 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；
2. muffle 音“馬蜂”→用頭巾裹住頭躲避馬蜂
3. 馬弗爐是英文Muffle furnace翻譯過來的。Muffle是包裹的意思，furnace是爐子，熔爐的意思。馬弗爐在中國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備，依據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。本來馬弗爐是燒氣的，燃燒部分和方形爐膛部分是分開的，這種分開或隔焰結構，及其悶的嚴嚴實實的爐腔，這個結構叫muffle，所以叫馬弗爐。后來雖改為電加熱，但始終保留了這個名字。
