词根拆分
词根派生in-（进入）+ trud（推）=「把自己推进去」。原始画面是硬推开门；现代含义是社交层面的——挤进一段谈话、一个私人时刻或别人的事，而你并未被邀请。这就是它几乎总搭配 on 或 into 的原因：intrude on someone's privacy。

- 1.intrude on someone's privacy侵犯某人隐私
- 2.intrude into someone's affairs干涉某人的事务
- 3.not wish to intrude不想打扰
- 4.intrude upon侵扰

易混词辨析
intrude 和 interrupt —— 两者都是不请自来地插入，但 interrupt 是把正在进行的事打断（interrupt a speech、interrupt my work）——关乎时机。intrude 是越界进入你不属于的空间、隐私或事务——关乎场合与分寸。你 interrupt 一场会议；你 intrude on 一段私密谈话。
