单词 | 上菜 |
释义 | 〔minestrone〕from Latin ministrāre [to serve food] 源自 拉丁语 ministrāre [上菜] 〔dish〕dished up the potatoes.将土豆装盘上菜〔diversify〕diversify a menu.菜单上菜的种类很多〔minestrone〕from minestrare [to dish up, serve this dish] 源自 minestrare [把…装盘上菜,上这道菜] 〔minestrone〕The thick vegetable soup known asminestrone did not come by its name because of its ingredients or their shape but rather because of service,something highly valued by many restaurant patrons.Minestrone is from the Italian word of the same form and sense, which in turn is derived fromminestra, meaning "a dish generally consisting of pasta, rice, beans, or vegetables cooked in water.”Minestra has been borrowed into English as well, being first recorded in 1750,whileminestrone is first found in 1891. The Italian wordminestra is from the verb minestrare, meaning "to serve this type of soup" or "dish up,”which goes back to the Latin verbministrāre, "to serve food,” from Latinminister, "servant.” 这种叫作minestrone 的蔬菜浓汤不是由其成分或形状而得名, 而是由其上菜方式而得名的,这一点得到很多饭店主顾的称道。Minestrone 源于同形同义的意大利语词, 这个词由minestra 而来, 意为“通常用面团、大米、豆子或蔬菜加水煮成的菜”。英语中也引入了minestra 这个词, 该词第一次出现于1750年,而minestrone 则首次于出现在1891年。 意大利语词minestra 由动词 minestrare 而来, 意为“上这种汤”或“把…装盘上菜”,这个词可追溯到拉丁语动词ministrare 意为“上菜”, 又由拉丁语词minister “仆人”而来 〔dessert〕servir [to serve] * see serve servir [上菜] * 参见 serve〔dumbwaiter〕A portable serving stand or table.可移动的上菜架或上菜桌〔desert〕When Shakespeare says in Sonnet 72,"Unless you would devise some virtuous lie,/To do more for me than mine own desert,”he is using the worddesert in the sense of "worthiness; deserving,” a word that is perhaps most familiar to us in the plural, meaning "something that is deserved,”as in the phrasejust deserts. This word goes back to the Latin worddēservīre, "to devote oneself to the service of,”which in Vulgar Latin came to mean "to merit by service.” Dēservīre is made up ofdē-, meaning "thoroughly,” and servīre, "to serve.” Knowing this,we can distinguish thisdesert from desert, "a wasteland,” and desert, "to abandon,” both of which go back to Latindēserere, "to forsake, leave uninhabited,” which is made up ofdē-, expressing the notion of undoing, and the verb serere, "to link together.” We can also distinguish all threedeserts from dessert, "a sweet course at the end of a meal,” which is from the French worddesservir, "to clear the table.” Desservir is made up ofdes-, expressing the notion of reversal, and servir (from Latin servīre ), "to serve,” hence, "to unserve" or "to clear the table.”当莎士比亚在第72首十四行诗中说:“除非你能编出善意的谎言/把我说得比我本人强得多”,这里desert 的意思就是“应得的东西”。 对这个词,我们最熟悉的大概是其复数形式(意思是“应得的东西”)。例如在词组just deserts 中。 该词的起源可以追溯到拉丁词deservire , 意为“为…而献身”,在俗拉丁语中,意思就变成了“依据服务应得…”。 Deservire 由de- 意思是“完全地,彻底地”和 servire “服务”组成。 知道了这些,我们就可以把desert 与 desert “荒原”和 desert “放弃”区别开来。 后面两个意义可追溯到拉丁语deserere “遗弃,无人居住”, 它由de- 表示“不做”的概念和动词 serere “连接到一起”组成。 我们也能把所有这三个deserts 与 dessert “正餐最后上的一道甜食”区分开来, 后者来自法语词desservir “收拾桌子”。 Desservir 由表达“反,逆”概念的des- 和 servir 组成(来自拉丁语 servire ), 意为“服务”、“因此“、“不上菜”或“清理桌子” |
