单词 | 不成功 |
释义 | 〔unsuccessful〕Having an unfavorable outcome:不成功的:有不利的结果的:〔hobnob〕The fact that hobnobbing with our social betters may at times be a hit-or-miss propositionhas an etymological justification.The verbhobnob originally meant "to drink together" and occurred as a varying phrase,hob or nob, hob-a-nob, or hob and nob, the first of which is recorded in 1763.This phrasal form reflects the origins of the verb in similar phrasesthat were used when two people were toasting each other.The probable reason that the phrases were so used is thathob is a variant of hab, asnob is of nab, and that these in turn are probably forms of have and its negative. In Middle English, for example, one finds the formshabbe, "to have,” and nabbe, "not to have.” Hab or nab, or simply hab nab, thus meant "get or lose, hit or miss,” and the varianthob-nob also meant "hit or miss.” Used in the drinking phrase,hob or nob would have probably meant "give or take,” and from a drinking situationhob nob spread to other forms of chumminess. 与社会地位比我们高的人亲切交谈有时候是一种随随便便的行为,这种事实是有语源学上的根据的。动词hobnob 的初义为“一起喝酒”, 并有许多变体,如hob or nob , hob-a-nob 或 hob and nob , 其中第一个首见于1763年的记录中。这种词组构成反应了类似词组中的动词来源,他们都用于两个人互相敬酒的情况。这种词组如此使用的原因可能因为hob 是 hab 的变体, 而nob 是 nab 的变体,而且这两者又可能是 have 和其否定式的变体。 例如人们在中古英语中可发现habbe “有”和 nabbe “没有”的形式。 Hab or nab 或简作 hab nab, 就指“得到或失去,成功或不成功”, 其变体hob-nob 也有同样的意思“成功或不成功”。 在与饮酒有关的词汇中,hob or nob 可能指“自饮或敬酒,” 并从饮酒情况下使用的hob nob 扩展到其他亲密的场合 〔soap〕Unsuccessful; futile.不成功的;徒劳的〔yield〕 Submit implies giving way out of necessity, as after futile or unsuccessful resistance.
