不僅在經典課文中出現,還出現在William Blake 的詩作 The Tyger (老虎)中,我們一起來欣賞下吧
Tyger, tyger, burning bright 老虎!老虎!黑夜的森林中
In the forests of the night, 燃燒著的煌煌的火光,
What immortal hand or eye 是怎樣的神手或天眼
Could frame. thy fearful symmetry? 造出了你這樣的威武堂堂?
In what distant deeps or skies 你炯炯的兩眼中的火

On what wings dare he aspire? 他乘著怎樣的翅膀搏擊?

And, when thy heart began to beat, 當你的心臟開始搏動時,
What dread hand and what dread feet? 使用怎樣猛的手腕和腳脛?
What the hammer? what the chain? 是怎樣的槌?怎樣的鏈子?

In the forests of the night, 燃燒著的煌煌的火光,
What immortal hand or eye 是怎樣的神手或天眼

再來看例句:No one suspected the anguish he carried on his shoulders. (沒人覺察出他所承擔的痛苦。),顯然,這里解釋為“(問題、責任等)由…承擔,落在…肩上”。
那么shoulder有沒有其他用法呢?童鞋們來看一下這句例句:He has had to shoulder the responsibility of his father's mistakes.
(他得為他父親的過錯承擔責任。)我們可以判斷這里的shoulder是動詞,解釋為“承擔”。
除了解釋為“承擔”外,還可以解釋為“扛、背。”
The rest of the group shouldered their bags, gritted their teeth and set off.
(那群人中其余的人扛起包,咬著牙出發了。)
我們再來補充幾個詞組:
shoulder to shoulder 同心協力地
e.g. They could fight shoulder-to-shoulder against a common enemy.
look over one’s shoulder 小心翼翼地,惴惴不安地
e.g. When a company keeps making people redundant, those who are left behind might start looking over their shoulder.
stand head and shoulder above 大大超過
e.g. The two candidates stood head and shoulders above the rest.
