The distinction, like the one betweenblonde and blond, has been regarded as carrying sexist implications.In this case, however, it is difficult to see how the problem can be easily resolved.It is unlikely thatbrunette could be pressed into service as a neutral term, since the suffix-ette is too closely associated with marked feminine gender. Brunet is theoretically available for both sexes but is rarely applied to men, whose corresponding coloration is typically described simply as "brown.”It would, of course, be possible to usebrown for the hair color of both sexes, if only that word could be redeemed from the associations of drabnessthat led to the adoption of the substitutebrunette in the first place. See Usage Note at blond ,-ette Brunette 过去很长一段时间用来指肤色黝黑的女人； 现今多用于指头发的颜色。通常brunette 只指女人， 而不如其常用的变体brunet 可用于指男人和男女都有的群体。 两词的区别正如blonde 和 blond 的区别， 被看成带有性别的含意。即使如此也很难看出如何轻易地解决两词之间区别的这一难题。brunette 不可能被看成一个中性词， 因为后缀-ette 与女性紧密联系。 Brunet 从道理上来说适用于男人和女人，但很少用于指男人。 男人相应的肤色仅用brown表述即可。当然，brown 也可适用于指男女两性的头发颜色， 只要此词不再与卖淫联系在一起。正是由于这一联系brunette 才首先被用作替代词 参见 blond,-ette〔voyage〕from Latin [provisions for a journey] [from neuter of] viāticus [of a journey] 源自 拉丁语 [旅行装备] 源自viāticus的中性词 [旅行的] 〔publican〕from pūblicum [public revenue] [from neuter of] pūblicus [public] * see public 源自 pūblicum [公共财富] 源自pūblicus的中性词 [公共的] * 参见 public〔tetrameter〕from Greek tetrametron [from neuter of] tetrametros [having four measures] 源自 希腊语 tetrametron 源自tetrametros的中性词 [有四个旋律的] 〔niello〕from neuter of Latin nigellus [diminutive of] niger [black] 源自 拉丁语 nigellus的中性词 niger的小后缀 [黑] 〔arcanum〕Latin [from neuter of] arcānus [secret] * see arcane 拉丁语 源自arcānus的中性词 [秘密] * 参见 arcane |
