sledgehammer /ˈslɛd͡ʒhæmɚ/ nghĩa là búa tạ

Các nghĩa

  1. búa tạ

    A hammer that consists of a large, heavy, broad and flat block of metal (the head) attached to a handle typically 0.5 meter to 1 meter long. The sledgehammer's design is meant to allow it to be swung powerfully, and to distribute force over a wide area upon impact.

    These were succeeded by anchor and chain-cable forges, where sledgehammers were dinging upon iron all day long.

    They take sledgehammers to statues with an uncommon gusto – destroying in seconds what may have survived centuries.
