| 释义 | tackle (once / 376 pages) 1vn 2n 3v To tackle a challenge means taking it on, so if you set out to tackle the classics of English literature, you should be prepared spend a lot of time in the library. The word tackle can be a verb or a noun, depending on its use. Today, the noun usually means fishing gear, but when it came into the English language it meant the ropes on a ship.

Nowadays, people tend to think of tackling running backs and financial fraud, rather than ropes.
