tow hook:牵引钩 / 拖车钩。安装在车辆前部或后部的金属挂点,用于把车辆拖拽或在车辆抛锚时被救援车牵引(也常用于越野“救援拖拽/回收”)。
/ˈtoʊ hʊk/
The tow hook is behind the small plastic cover on the front bumper.

Before towing, make sure the tow hook is fully tightened and the strap is rated for the vehicle’s weight.

tow(拖、牵引)源自古英语 tōgian(拉、拖);hook(钩)源自古英语 hōc(钩子)。两词组合成 tow hook,字面意思就是“用于牵引的钩”。
