意味: To shock or stimulate someone into taking action, especially sudden and decisive action. In metallurgy, to coat iron or steel with zinc to prevent rusting.
The figurative sense of galvanise — jolting people into action — dominates in journalism and political writing. It implies that a dramatic event or passionate appeal overcomes inertia or apathy. Common collocations include 'galvanise public opinion,' 'galvanise support,' and 'galvanise the electorate.' The word carries a sense of electrical energy and urgency that makes it a favourite of editorial writers. The technical metallurgical sense remains in specialist use.
