| 释义 | 〔nerd〕The wordnerd and a nerd, undefined but illustrated, first appeared in 1950 in Dr. Seuss'sIf I Ran the Zoo : "And then, just to show them,I'll sail to Ka-Troo And Bring Back an It-Kutch a Preep and a Proo a Nerkle a Nerd and a Seersucker, too!” (The nerd itself is a small humanoid creature looking comically angry,like a thin, cross Chester A. Arthur.)Nerd next appears, with a gloss, in the February 10, 1957, issue of the Glasgow, Scotland, Sunday Mail in a regular column entitled "ABC for SQUARES": "Nerd—a square, any explanation needed?”Many of the terms defined in this "ABC" are unmistakable Americanisms,such ashep, ick, and jazzy, as is the gloss "square,” the current meaning ofnerd. The third appearance ofnerd in print is back in the United States in 1970 in Current Slang : “Nurd [sic], someone with objectionable habits or traits. . . . An uninteresting person, a ‘dud.’” Authorities disagree on whether the two nerds—Dr. Seuss's small creature and the teenage slang term in theGlasgow Sunday Mail —are the same word. Some experts claim there is no semantic connectionand the identity of the words is fortuitous.Others maintain that Dr. Seuss is the true originator ofnerd and that the wordnerd ("comically unpleasant creature") was picked up by the five- and six-year-olds of 1950 and passed on to their older siblings, who by 1957, as teenagers,had restricted and specified the meaning to the most comically obnoxious creature of their own class,a "square.”单词nerd 和 a nerd，无定义但有说明， 第一次出现于1950年瑟斯博士写的要是我管动物园 中： “然后，仅仅是为了给他们看，我将航行到Ka-Troo，并带回It-Kutch a Preep和a Proo a Nerkle a Nerd ，还有一件印度泡泡纱！”（蠢货本身是一个具有人类特点的小动物，一副好笑发怒的样子，像瘦小很生气的切斯特·A阿瑟）。Nerd 接着在1957年2月10日苏格兰格拉斯哥人一期杂志上再次出现，还有一个解释。 星期日邮报 在一常设栏目中出了题为“古板之人ABC"的文章： "Nerd——古板之人，还需要任何解释吗?”许多在这个"ABC"中定义的术语是明显的美国特有词，如hep,ick 和 jazzy ， 正如nerd 的现行意思“古板之人”一样， nerd 第三次出现于印刷品中又回到了1970年美国的 最新俚语 中： “Nurd ［原文如此］带有令人不快的习惯或品质的人…一个没趣的人，一个‘饭桶。’” 权威们对这两个蠢货--瑟斯博士所指的小动物和格拉斯奇星期日邮报 上的青少年俚语是否是同一个词持不同意见。 有些专家宣称此处无语义联系，两个词的相似属偶然。其他人则坚持瑟斯博士是nerd 一词的始创者， 且nerd 一词（意为“令人不快的滑稽小动物”）让1950年时五、六岁的孩子们学会并传给了比他们大些的兄姐。 到1957年，作为青少年，他们把意思限定和专指他们当中最滑稽讨厌的家伙，即“古板守旧”的人〔form〕The design, structure, or pattern of a work of art:结构：一件艺术的设计、结构或模式：〔Chicago〕American artist best known forThe Dinner Party (1979), a ceramic and needlepoint project depicting the social history of women in the Western world. 芝加哥，朱迪：(生于 1939) 美国艺术家，最有名的作品是《晚餐会》 （1979年），作品以一件陶瓷器和针绣制品反映了西方世界妇女的社交历史 〔indecomposable〕indecomposable matter.一件不能分开解决的事情〔difference〕A specific point or element that distinguishes one thing from another.不同点：指一件事物与另外的事物区分开的特殊点或部分〔complete〕"Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime" (Reinhold Niebuhr). “我们这辈子连一件有意义的事也没完成” （莱因霍尔德·尼泊赫）。〔example〕Wear something simple; for example, a skirt and blouse.穿简单的衣服；比如说，一条裙子和一件衬衫〔chic〕chic clothes; a chic boutique.时髦的服装；一件雅致的饰物〔whipstitch〕To sew with overcast stitches, as in finishing a fabric edge or binding two pieces of fabric together.交叉缝：用锁缝针缝，如在完工一件织物边儿或将两件织物缝在一起时所用〔slinky〕wore a slinky outfit to the party.穿了一件时髦的外衣去参加聚会〔handbook〕A concise manual or reference book providing specific information or instruction about a subject or place.手册，便览：关于一件事物或一处地方的具体介绍或指导的参考书或简明手册〔revealing〕a very revealing biography; a revealing gown.一个透露内情的自传；一件暴露的长袍〔charge〕paid cash for the stockings but charged the new coat.袜子付了现金但又赊购了一件新外套〔take〕take up a gown.把一件袍子改短些〔magnify〕You have grossly magnified a trivial situation.See Synonyms at exaggerate 你过分地夸大了一件鸡毛蒜皮的小事 参见 exaggerate〔collar〕The part of a garment that encircles the neck.衣领：一件服装围绕脖子的部分〔average〕"One and the same thing can at the same time be good, bad, and indifferent, e.g., music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good nor bad to the deaf" (Spinoza).Something that istolerable is merely acceptable: “同一件事物在同一时间可以是好的、坏的、一般的，例如，音乐对忧郁者来说是好的，对悲哀者来说是坏的，对耳聋者来说既不好也不坏” （斯宾诺莎）。tolerable 只指可接受的事物： 〔contrast〕One thing that is strikingly dissimilar to another:差别明显：与另一事物炯然相异的一件事物：〔raveling〕A thread or fiber that has become separated from a woven material.散纱：从一件织好的物品分下来的线或纱〔smock〕To decorate (fabric) with smocking.用罩衣来装饰（一件纺织品）〔firepower〕The capacity, as of a weapon, weapons system, military unit, or position, for delivering fire.火量：一件武器、兵器系统、军事单位或阵地等发射火力的容量〔valuable〕A personal possession, such as a piece of jewelry, having a relatively high monetary value.
