“使蠕动”可以翻译为 “cause to wriggle” 或 “make (something/someone) wriggle” 。其中,“wriggle”意为“蠕动;扭动;蜿蜒前行” ,比较贴切地传达了“蠕动”这一动作状态。
例句:
The strange noise in the bush seemed to cause the small creature to wriggle in fear.(灌木丛里奇怪的声响似乎让那只小生物因害怕而蠕动起来 。 )
The magic spell made the snake wriggle across the floor.(魔法咒语让那条蛇在地板上蠕动前行 。 )
